14 weeks and counting

Well it has been a crazy month! I've had my morning sickness on and off and I'm still having fun finding which foods to eat:)
My second doctors appointment went well. I was contacted by McKay Dee hospital in regards to a research study that they are conducting with the U of U. The research study is done on first time moms and is looking for indicators toward preeclampsia and indicators of preterm labor. So it's pretty cool. So with this study I go through a questionnaire fill out information on alex and I's family history, get blood samples taken, urine test and ultra sounds to measure the blood around the placenta, the baby and measuring the baby. So we've included my first research ultra sound. The quality is a little off but what cane you do? All I know is this little one has been squirming like crazy and did not like wanting to be on camera. Sounds like Alex :P The baby is healthy and I go in for my next doctors appointment on the 3rd!
School has been going good for Alex and I. We're almost half way through which is crazy to think! Alex has been doing fantastic in his classes and has enjoyed helping me learn spanish along with my 1010 class.
We've been preparing my parents basement for us to be able to move in with them toward the end of the semester. I'm excited to bring a baby into our family and am excited to decorate fresh walls and our baby's room! Alex and his dad spent the week putting in a nice wood lament in two of the rooms all that's left to do is put the base boards up and we can move furniture in. We decided on the color for the baby's room and as we painted it on the walls we loved the color more and more! We'll post pictures as we start to decorate. I'm excited cause it'll give me something to do after school is out until the baby is due! :)
Hope everyone is well and enjoy the pictures!
Love,
Alex and Kelsie
