Outings of a large variety

This week has been a pretty exciting week for the Cook Family! We came out of hiding to the rest of the world, and it felt GREAT to share the news. We just love our friends so dearly, so it was VERY hard to not spill the beans immediatly.  We are so vey blessed to have such supportive and loving friends. 

Friday was an unexpectidly FUN day for Justin and I.  During my morning drive to work, WIOV (local radio station) They said "text us now to win tickets to see Sugarland tonight!" Well, you can see where this is going! 5 minutes later I was on the phone with the station confirming my information, and by 7pm Justin and I were at the Allentown Fair seeing Little Big Town and Sugarland!! It was such a great show!


Also, I have begun my weekly bump photos.. heres the first!

8 Weeks- and feeling a little green...

I am now 8 weeks, and we have begun the exciting process of telling family :) Our family is pretty spread out, so It's taking us a bit of time. We hope to hit the last of them this weekend :) 

In the meantime, I am SO excited to give an update from last week.  Justin and I went for my first ultrasound, and it was amazing! We were able to see the little beans heart flickering away with a good healthy heartrate of 143.  We are measuring right on track for our Easter Sunday delivery.  Our ultrasound tech was having a difficult time getting clear shots of the baby, as it was lying against the placental wall (apparently its ALREADY being difficult; go figure), so our photo isnt the most beautiful photographically, however it's the most beautiful thing we've ever laid our eyes on!



How far along? 8 weeks

Symptoms: Exhausted still, and having more waves of nausea smack me in the face.  I'm also learning that if I want to get ANYTHING done at home after work, I need to do it right away. If I come home and sit on the sofa like I want to do, I will never, and I mean never get back up.   

Baby: The babe is now 5/8 of an inch long, and has webbed fingers and toes (how cute!).  In the brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming all the neuro pathways.
