baby #2

The reason for my hiatus from posting for the past couple of months is explained in the video below. We have a little one on the way and boy have I been feeling it! The nausea started at 5 weeks, stopped for a couple of days in week 7 and has been here ever since. I'm 14 weeks today and possibly starting to feel a little better for which I'm very thankful. Whenever I get tired and grouchy, Matthew always reminds me to blame Eve and not him. =)

We went in to see Dr. Bell in week 12 just to hear the heartbeat before we left for NC. Though the heart beat was too fast at first, she listened for awhile until it slowed down. All in all she said the baby sounded fine. You might be able to hear that she found the heartbeat first off, but then the baby moved away and she had to search for it a little. Towards the middle of the video you can hear it a lot better.


So most people would read about the fast heart rate and think GIRL right away; however, there is a handy, dandy little test you can take at home now that is 82% accurate and it said BOY! Notice the date on the picture. We got to take this test on our 8-year anniversary! I'm not putting a ton of stock into this test - I'll wait for the ultrasound, but it's still fun. And so starts the blogging on Baby Morken #2!
