I'm sure the State of Kansas knows by now!!!

Well if you haven't heard yet from my mother, We're PREGNANT!!! Wait a minute WE are not pregnant, I am!! That is so not the right way to announce this news. Mike and Collin are not the ones nauseous 24 hours a day, and they are certainly not the ones ready for bed by 5:00 every night. You know I wish "WE" could be pregnant though sometimes, so I could share these symptoms of pregnancy that I have slowly forgotten about over the past 2 years. I am just an emotional basket casel these days, if you can imagine that from ME!!! I started crying in bed the other night and Mike sympathetically asked "What is wrong?". I could say nothing about what was wrong with me but "I hate Hormomones!!!" I am sure that you ladies can all relate with me! Mike and Collin are being GREAT though! We are all very excited as you can tell we waited about a day to tell everyone. We are so not good with secrets. Katie Mac and I were on the internet searching and playing with all the Chinese Birth charts and all but one say we're having a boy. That means we are either having a boy or we are having twins and one is a boy and one is a girl! Ok I'll take the boy! :)) We'll definitely let you all know as soon as we find out! Again we can't keep secrets.





Well here is what our baby looks like right now!


Here's what the experts say:
How your baby's growing: Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. At this point he's about the size of a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He's now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm — that will later form his organs and tissues. The cells are forming for his major organs, including his kidneys and liver, and his neural tube is beginning to develop. This neural tube — from which your baby's brain, spinal cord, nerves, and backbone will sprout — develops in the top layer, called the ectoderm. This layer will also give rise to his skin, hair, nails, mammary and sweat glands, and tooth enamel. His heart and circulatory system begin to form in the middle layer, or mesoderm. (This week, in fact, his tiny heart begins to divide into chambers and beat and pump blood.) The mesoderm will also form your baby's muscles, cartilage, bone, and subcutaneous (under skin) tissue. The third layer, or endoderm, will house his lungs, intestines, and rudimentary urinary system, as well as his thyroid, liver, and pancreas. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job.
