5 weeks


My good friend and new(ish) mom Leah told me that I needed to take pictures in the same outfit every month... so here is month 1!
So, this week our Baby Vog's (know to us as "Sprout") heart is being formed! It is so amazing to think about how I am creating something inside of me!

So this week was our first doctors appointment. We met with Dr. Crochett's nurse who took a comprehensive medical/social/family history. She also went through an orientation packet with us that had a whole bunch of information about what not to eat, medications I can take safely, and tips on conquring morning sickness. She took several tubes of blood and a urine sample. Due to the history of twins in my family, we have an ultrasound scheduled for December 23rd! We are so excited to see our little Sprout and to hear his/her heart beating!!! Mike hopes that there is only one Sprout in there!


I have been trying to drink more water (apparently my urine was a little too concentrated) and eating balanced. No overwhelming nausea yet... only when it's been a couple hours since I've eaten something. Sprout has been requiring at least one nap a day... and working nights have been pretty rough! My boobs still feel like boulders on fire! Hopefully that will subside soon... hopefully!!
