New Ultrasound Pictures

Hello Friends and Family. Adam and I went to our Ultrasound appointment this morning and I wanted to share the pictures with all of you. The baby is looking good - growing a lot and was kicking and moving around like crazy during the ultrasound! It was so cute to see. We go back in on September 12 to find out the baby's gender! I can't wait!!! (Hopefully the baby cooperates that day!) Here are the pictures:

Happy Birthday Hubby & Sarah!!

Just a quick shout out to my favorite husband and wonderful sister-in-law! Sarah, we wish we could be there in GA to have one big party with you today. And to Adam, my love, Happy Birthday!

Random Thoughts

Hello! I've been feeling like I should post something new on the blog, but what to post? Our camera has seen better days, and posts with pictures are always more fun to read. Bear with me though, soon enough I'll have some new pictures up. I'll have to capture my belly as it gets bigger with our little guy! (No, we don't know if it's a boy yet, but I keep feeling like it is. We'll see if I'm right!). Speaking of the pregnancy, I'll be 14 weeks this week. I hear that is when the sickness phase of the pregnancy comes to an end. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that is true! I still go through periods of feeling sick, etc. etc. I'm sure Adam is tired of hearing me whine, but it's hard for me to explain how I feel. All this feeling sick doesn't take away from the excitement of expecting our first baby, however. Sometimes I think, wow...we're having a baby and I still can't believe it!

Moving on... I wanted to post a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my twin brothers Aaron and Adam who are both serving full-time missions right now. They are 21 as of yesterday! Aaron is currently in Peru and Adam is in Las Vegas. Adam was going to be coming home this month, but his mission president just extended his mission by another month! He must be doing one heck of a job out there for them to want to keep him longer. Aaron is going strong in Peru, coming home I believe in November. He's currently the AP (Assistant to the President) so he's getting to experience so many things! I can't wait to see his photo album of Peru once he returns home.

Speaking of birthdays, Adam (my husband, not my brother) his birthday is this week - Tuesday, August 7. Just so happens that Sarah, my brother Justin's wife celebrates her birthday that day too! We decided it must be an unwritten law that to marry into the Young family your birthday has to be on August 7th! :)

I think that's about all the random thoughts I wanted to share for now. Things in the Birkmeyer household are going well and hope all is well with all of you!
