Growing Tummy

Here I am at 14 weeks with my precious Daisy Dog!

Here is a picture of the baby at 13 weeks. They were not able to get a good picture because the baby was so active and moving around too much! I think this means the baby is going to take after Brian and keep me very busy!!
If you look closely you can see the head(where it says face) and on either side is his/her arms. Other than that I can't tell much!

First Trimester

The first trimester was a little rough! I was very sick but after many days of not keeping any food down my doctor gave me some medicine which was a God sent! I was able to make it through the school day without running to the bathroom.
I could not believe how tried I was! Usually I would fall asleep around 7 on the couch and Brian would wake me up and make me go up to bed. I felt exhausted all the time.
When I was 9 weeks I was able to go to the doctor and see our little baby. The picture to the left is from that visit. The neatest thing by far was being able to hear the heartbeat. It made the whole experience feel so real and amazing!
One of the hardest things of the first trimester was not being able to tell any one. I was so excited to share our good news that it was a difficult secret to keep!

First Blog!

Brian and I were married on July 11, 2009. After that we spent 2 wonderful weeks in Italy on our honeymoon. We had such an amazing 2009 that we thought 2010 would not be able to compete! We quickly changed our minds when on New Years Day I took 2 pregnancy tests and realized we were going to have a baby!!! We realized that 2010 would be an amazing year and would change our lives forever! I am creating this blog to give friends and family some insight on this unbelievable experience.
Baby Cieslik will be arriving around September 12, 2010. Our current baby (Our yellow lab Daisy) is a little worried about the new edition and how much attention the baby will receive. We continue to talk with her and hope that she gets along well with the new baby. Taking care of Daisy we hope has somewhat prepared us for parenthood.
I will try to update the blog monthly and post pictures to give information about this journey we are going through! Enjoy :)
