Traveling Baby

Baby Klaus had an exciting Week 10 and 11!  Nick and I took the baby on his/her first trip to Alaska during Week 10.  I am pretty sure baby's favorite part of Alaska was the decadent food and fact that Momma could sleep in past 6:15a.m. (first week of summer vacation)!  Okay, fine.  That was actually Momma's favorite part.

During Week 10, all my clothes felt TIGHT.  The tightness was definitely due to pregnancy hormones causing bloating AND all the lovely 4-course nightly dinners in Alaska.  

The cruise to Alaska was planned before we knew that a baby was on board.  There were a couple rocky days at sea... those were interesting for an already nauseous lady.  Ginger, Saltines, and peppermint tea were my best friends on those days.   

                                Ten weeks pregnant and enjoying beautiful Alaska! 

When we got home from Alaska (mid-June), I was thrilled that summer vacation was in full swing, because working would have been really rough for me!  There isn't much to tell you about the next few weeks because all I did was spend a lot of time on the couch eating Saltines.  Not fun, but totally worth it.

The print on the bottom of the board was a little small (learning curve)!  
Here's what it says:
Dad is hungry all the time because Momma is either:
a) too tired to cook
b) too nauseous to cook
c) only wants cheese
d) all of the above

Can you guess the answer?  

Nick and I continue to feel extremely blessed and thankful for a healthy pregnancy.  Growing a baby is nothing short of a miracle!  

The Grandest Adventure of Them All!

The Klaus Family is expanding!

We are beyond excited to meet our little one who will be making his or her entrance into the world at the beginning of January 2014!  

I am currently fifteen weeks pregnant, so I will be backtracking a little and showing you my chalkboard updates from a few weeks ago.  

In this picture, I was seven weeks pregnant (middle of May)! At this point of my pregnancy, I was feeling quite nauseous and exhausted!!  I would work full days and come home and SLEEP!  Growing a baby is hard work!  

At our seven week ultrasound, we got to see our little munchkin who was just a tiny little bean!  Baby was only one centimeter long.  The best part of the ultrasound was hearing the strong heart beat.  Talk about having your own heart skip a beat... such an incredible moment.  

Nick and I have enjoyed dreaming about our life with a baby.  We know it will be very different and full of new adventures and changes, but we are ready and excited for all that it will encompass!
