13 Weeks: Baby K has Fingerprints!

I am a little over 13 weeks pregnant! Baby K is growing at a quicker pace and is about 3 inches long, weighing around 1 oz. His or her fingerprints have formed on tiny fingertips. I have been feeling MUCH better this week although I’m still craving FRIED foods and ice cream. Next week will mark the official start of my second trimester. In celebration, here is a photo which I feel sums up my first trimester perfectly. Cookie crisp in the bathroom. Never before have I wished for my bathroom cabinet to be a pantry full of snack food as much as I have during these past few months.


Patrick definitely got a kick out of coming home from work to find trails of food in our bathroom (and every room in our condo for that matter) throughout the first couple of months.  Hey –eating often was the only thing that made me feel better)! Here’s to a healthy and happy start to second trimester!
In other news , Patrick starts his new job as Sales  Trainee for Crescent Crown tomorrow..send good vibes his way!!!
Love – Becca, Patrick & Baby K

Last Birthday Before Baby - Happy Birthday Dad-To-Be!!

We celebrated Patrick's 26th birthday this past week. It started when my parents came for a little visit, spoiling us with some fabulous dinners, and ended with a delivery of GIRL SCOUT COOKIES from Patrick's parents (thank you, thank you..was it Patrick's birthday or mine???)!


Our friends Megan and Lisa happened to be in town for a visit and we all got together with several of our AZ friends to continue the birthday celebration. It happened to be the one rainy weekend in Scottsdale in several months so we vetoed the pool party for a little bowling fun (pregnancy-friendly of course, complete with a child size ball) Turned out to be the perfect day!




In baby news...I have an OFFICIAL baby bump! It is small but definitely there. I have been feeling less and less sick every day and gaining more energy. Hallelujah for the approaching 2nd trimester! Cravings have been out of control this week: pizza and nacho cheese doritos..healthy, I know.

Stay tuned for more baby news!
