Dr's Visit

Today Adam and I ventured out in the yucky weather to go see Dr. Putman. This was a short visit, but all checked out well. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat again. He said it was around 150 bpm, and going strong! I've gained 3 lbs, and still don't have too much of a belly. All my bloodwork came back with no problems, so that's good too! We go back on January 19th for a sonogram and a check-up. I'll be 20 weeks then. Crazy to think that will be the half way point!

Happy Holidays!

First Trimester

Well, we've officially made it through the first trimester of pregnancy!!! YEAH!! I still can't believe I'm pregnant, let alone a third of the way through. I truly was blessed with a great first trimester. I really had no sickness at all. Nothing ever sounded good to eat, but I never was physically ill. I slept a lot, but I enjoy a good nap so that wasn't really a problem. I know my naps are going to be limited in another 6 months, so I will continue to take advantage of them! I have really started to get my appetite back in the last few weeks. Adam has commented on that several times.

Adam also has also recieved the brunt end of quite a bit of moodiness lately. These hormones have definitely done a number on me. At least I can admit I'm being evil though. Adam's been quite the trooper, and I'll try to make it up to him. This moodiness has caused me to not be in the holiday spirit. Adam made me a Christmas CD yesterday, and said he hoped it got me in the spirit. I'm actually listening to it right now! Don't know if it's working or not, but I'm trying!!! He says every year I say, "It's the holiday season!" all the time, and that I haven't said it once. So, here's hoping for some holiday cheer.

I'm starting to get a little belly, but nothing to big. I guess I'm going to start needing to take pictures to keep you all up to date on my growing belly. My regular clothes are still fitting well, so it's going to be a little while longer before I need to invest in some maternity clothes. That really kind of freaks me out. The whole getting a belly thing is really freaking me out too! I don't really know why. Adam told me he didn't peg me as "that girl" that would freak out, but I kind of have been. I'm sure I'll get over it though! I hope anyway!

We go to the Dr. next week, to get blood test results back and have a general check-up. We'll get an ultrasound done sometime in January. For the most part, that's what has been going on! Guess we'll need to start thinking about baby furniture, etc soon. I've looked a few times, but haven't made any decisions. The first trip to Babies 'R Us was pretty overwhelming. Adam walked in and said, "We're going to spend $4,000!!" I told him, "That's what baby shower's are for!" I am excited to start making those decisions, but we've still got some time!

Love to you all! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Newest Meehan Family Member

The newest Meehan has arrived!!! Thomas David Meehan V was born on December 2, 2008 at 4:40 pm. He weighed 8 lbs and was 21" long. He's got lots of hair, and looks nothing like his big sister Gabbi did when she was born. He seems to have a larger nose like the Meehan's do, but the infamous Kindred chin. Everyone is doing very well, the only problem is we have no idea what to call the little guy. Adam says he's going to call him Roman Numeral Five, so we decided Roman would be good, but don't think that's really going to stick. Eventually we'll figure something out! All in all today, as been a very wonderful day. Thank the Lord!!

Dr.'s Visit

Today we went and visited our new OB/GYN, Dr. Putman for the first time. We both really liked him, so we're off to a good start. We had an ultrasound again today, and things were looking good! The baby is measuring in at 6.47 cm and the heart was racing at 161 bpm. The baby was waving it's arm back and forth at us, but other than that wasn't too interested in getting its picture taken today. Adam says its already acting like me. We'll see what really happens though! Anyway, all things are progressing nicely. I still haven't gained any weight, but nothing to be concerned with. I'm sure that's coming!! The goal is to only gain about 20-25 lbs anyway. Some days I feel like I have a little belly and other days not. I know that is coming too!! We go back in 3 weeks to get a quick check and go over all the test results from the blood I had drawn today, but we aren't expecting anything too exciting. Then we'll go in about another 3 weeks and get another sonogram. Dr. Putman said I would probably go through sonogram withdrawl since we got them all the time at Dr. Galle's, but I told him I was expecting that! I think we can wait 6 weeks. It'll be neat to see how much the baby has grown in that amount of time! I think that's about it for now! We'll continue to keep you updated! Please keep the prayers coming!

Love,

Adam & Molly
