Melissa and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child. Some may argue that Duncan has been the baby of the house for two years... although you are right, we are blessed to extend our family to three.
Melissa is now 13 weeks pregnant. A few weeks ago we saw the heart beat together. Last week, Melissa got to hear the strong, steady beat of our baby's heart. After sharing our happiness with our immediate family, we are creating this blog for all of you to follow along with our progress and share stories.
This weekend was the first time Melissa noticed a little "baby bump" although there have been many signs to point towards pregnancy. I'll start with the first: food. Peppermint patties have been in high demand, as well as granola bars, pancakes and various other snacks. The second: sleep. Melissa has been a bit wiped of energy. I don't blame her, she has another life inside of her. The doctor said she hasn't gained any weight and seems to be doing very well. She is still requesting back rubs (a little more often) and is woken up each night to pee. I guess that's a product of something growing inside of you. We'll be updating often for you to keep in touch with us and posting pictures.
We both turn 27 years old this month. To celebrate, we are heading to Las Vegas with a few close friends. We've been told by many people to enjoy the remaining time we have before parenting begins. It's a life altering experience, we are ready for this, ready to learn and are so happy.
You know what's great? We have families that couldn't be more supportive. Grandma Karen and Grandma Jan are already spoiling the baby with gifts, including red converse shoes! They each have their thoughts on the sex of the baby... but for now, Melissa and I are planning on keeping that as a secret.
Welcome to our journey together, we'll post more in the coming days. God Bless, Much love... The Delveaux's
