Yay Sticky Rainbow! You’re still growing!!  You look so much more human-like now!   We had another ultrasound on Friday 12/30/11.  So your actual age was 10 weeks 4 days.   Your heartbeat was 174 bpm and looking great!  I have continuing problems with spotting, so the Drs are watching me very […]

11 weeks, we have a human!


ultrasound #2 1
Dear Sticky Rainbow, Today Daddy and I saw you on the ultrasound for the second time!  We could see your heart beating away at 182 bpm.   Right now you look pretty much like a tadpole with a huge head, but don’t worry, you’ll be more proportionate by the time you’re […]

A NEW Atkinson Baby



gummy bear
Yesterday we were 8 weeks prego!  Our baby is the size of a raspberry or gummy bear  (or kidney bean as some websites say, but raspberries and gummy bears seem so much cuter).  He/she doesn’t have much of a tail anymore (way to not be a tadpole child of mine!)    The baby […]

8 Weeks


melting pot
Last Friday was our 7 week mark, and our baby is currently the size of a blueberry! The baby is about half an inch long (doubled in size from last week).  Our genius embryo is developing about 100 new brain cells every minute- wowzers! Will took me out to a […]

Blueberry


a sweet pea
Our baby is 6 weeks old today!  He/She is about a quarter of an inch long, and the size of a sweet pea (or lentil, or bb pellet depending on what website you are checking out).   It (seems so impersonal, but easier than typing out he/she every time) has tripled or quadrupled […]

6 weeks



go cards 1
As many of you may have noticed (stop hitting reply all!), there has been an email argument about which team our child will root for (Kentucky or Louisville).  Let’s just go ahead and get it out in the open. Even though we live in Lexington, without a doubt there will be another Louisville fan in […]

So, as soon as we found out we were pregnant, I had to hatch a plan to tell my family.  I didn’t want to just call, so we waited until the next weekend to go in town and visit.  Joey was my first victim… he was the only one home […]

Telling my family



blood level 3 1
SO,  the shock of being pregnant after having my first emergency surgery wore off after about half a day and the excitement and happiness started to set in.   Keep in mind, I knew I could be pregnant this month, I just was kind of hoping to start over with a […]

When we first found out
PREGNANT!!!! Ahhhhhh, so excited, yet so scared at the same time!! My boobs hurt so I decided to take a pregnancy test early Sunday morning, and I saw TWO lines!!  It is very early on (only 9 days past ovulation) so the lines were faint, but definitely there.  Just to […]
