As we mentioned....we'll try to catch you all up, since we only started posting at week 16! We are ending week 17, and all is well! Melissa has been feeling good, and is counting down the days until we find out what we're having (26 more sleeps!).
We found out we were pregnant on November 6th...Melissa's Dad's birthday. The next night we had our first Christmas party of the season...so it was fun to get dressed up and have a mini celebration! It was REALLY odd knowing something that NO ONE else knew anything about. We seemed to talk about the news all the time. It was as if nothing else was happening in our lives. We were super excited.
For Thanksgiving, we drove to Texas to see the McReynolds family. Melissa studied all the way there and a bit each day when we were there, trying to complete 3 classes of her MBA. We figured that everyone was a bit suspicious that Melissa declined coffee every morning and wine every night. That was a bit out of character for her! Overall, it was a fantastic visit and we drove back to Alabama uneventfully.
Upon returning home, Melissa and Clint went into high-speed-mode, trying to wrap up the year at work and school, as well as getting ready for a big trip to London England and to North Carolina for Christmas to visit with the Lloyd family.
Before the trip, we had our first prenatal appointment with our friend and doctor Jacquie Tessen. Jacquie was THRILLED when she heard us both talking in her office. She knew Melissa had been thinking about becoming a patient of hers, but had no idea that we were expecting. It was a great appointment, as we got to see the baby for the first time on the ultrasound. The baby looked like a little kidney bean and was 1.75cm long from "crown to rump". Little tiny baby! More later....
