Let is SNOW!

We can't remember a time we've seen this much snow before Halloween. The mood has really been set for Christmas. We've enjoyed cuddling up with hot drinks and shortened work days from home. While trapped inside, Telly and Josh had fun trying on hats. I think this is the closest our dog will ever get to wearing a Halloween costume.

Today marks 12 weeks and 1 day into the pregnacy. The 2nd trimester has arrived. We continue to celebrate feeling healthy and energized and are aniticipating with excitment this next stage where I might actually begin to look pregnant. Pictures to come when that starts to happen. As for today, I am thankful to fit comfortably in all my clothing.

Who Done It?

Last night we solved the murder mystery in Sin City where "Elvis" and his new fiance "Lucy Legs" helped solve clues to discover the killer, Hustler Hillary.
Hillary was married to Ace who was stealing from the casiono. After she won her own lottery ticket for 125 million, she had motive to kill her new husband to prevent him from stealing from her! What a storyline with lots of fun clues and discoveries! Josh won the Best Dressed award. We had a blast and recommend anyone who has never participated in a murder mystery dinner gather their friends and try it on for size.

We're not in Texas Anymore

This weekend we braved 9 degree weather, frozen, sleeting rain, and dense fog to cheer on our TCU Horned Frogs as they defeated Air Force. It was one of the FEW times I've ever longed to be back in the Texas climate. CO will be back to sunny and blue skies today. It was was a crazy fluke of a forecast.

TCU pulled off a 20-17 victory even with 4 fumbles. I don't think the Frogs have much experience playing with a frozen football. Go Frogs!

Say "Cheese" Peanut

We strive to be people who follow through on our word, and revealing this sight aligns with a promise we've made to friends regarding the blogging world.

Our promise: "We will start a blog when we get pregnant so all our family and friends can track our progress."

Fulfilling our promise: We are pregnant and are starting a blog!


How Baby's doing:
This picture shows to outcome of our very first sonogram. Baby's heart beat is strong, size looks "perfect", and due date scheduled for May 12th.

How Lauren's doing:
As of today there has been no morning or evening sickness, no discomfort, no weight gain, and no nausea. We are hopeful these non-symptoms will continue and feel blessed to have had a very easy first trimester.

How Josh's doing:
Elated to become a father. No morning sickness, no discomfort, no weight gain, and no nausea. Already planning savings strategies for college fund and taking great care of his wife.

How Telly's doing: Doesn't notice much of a change but loves to rest his head on Lauren's stomach. We think he senses something and is ready to cuddle.

Both Josh and Lauren are craving pickles, sour candies, and late-night string cheese. Can't say for sure if pattern has anything to do with pregnancy.

Thanks for checking in and tracking the adventure with us. We love you and hope this appeases your desires for a Reitsema blog debut!
