Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful break this past weekend!
I have to write this one post really quickly because it was definitely the funniest part of the weekend. We were driving back from Thanksgiving with some friends when the two pregnant ladies in our car decided that they ABSOLUTELY had to have some sweet potato fries! We stopped to get some dinner when the following conversation occurred at our table:

Nicole (after our food arrived at the table):

Wow! I think my eyes are bigger than my stomach!

Me:

Yeah, but pretty soon your stomach will be bigger than your eyes!

(Laughter from the four of us at the table)

Complete and total stranger sitting at the table next to us with his little boy:

Wow! Did you really just say that to her?

Nicole:

Oh! It's OK, I'm pregnant.

It was really funny and we all got a really big laugh out of it, especially after the guy and his son left!

Family: Isn't It About Time?

Yes, indeed it is about time for Cole and I! We are so excited to announce that we will be having a baby in May! And it is ABOUT TIME we started this family, right?! Many of you may have already heard but we wanted to make the official blog post and to give the full story to those who may not have heard it.

Nicole and I moved to Milwaukee the first week of August. Nicole started work again for Ernst & Young in the Milwaukee office and I started medical school at MCW. After a few weeks Nicole started having the "feeling" that she might be pregnant so we made the long drive to Target to pick up a few tests before making the even longer drive home! When we got home she took the test and put it on the bathroom sink for the required 3 minutes. She went in first to look at it before I came in after her. She tried very hard to hide her expressions but I knew right away what it said!

Pregnancy Test

We were so excited for this news! After a few weeks Nicole made her first appointment with the doctor and we got our ultrasound pictures which were so amazing! I never really thought ultrasound pictures were anything too great to look at but it is way different when it is your kid that you are looking at! This was one of our favorites that they took at 11 weeks (4 weeks ago).

And of course I made Nicole pose for a pregnancy picture this morning. There really hasn't been much to show up until the last few days. Nicole is just over 15 weeks along today! She wanted to keep her cardigan on but I told her that would not work for a belly shot so she had to hold it back. She looks great!
