19 Weeks




Baby Mersberger


This week Baby Mersberger weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom. She is about the size of a heirloom tomato.  I felt movement for the first time this week that I could recognize as movement. I have thought I felt it before but wasn't quite sure but I knew this time it was her. I can now also feel some pushing, but no kicks yet.

Now that I am into my second trimester I am finally starting to feel a lot better. I have not had any morning sickness in about two weeks now and only get nauseated when I get really hungry. I have noticed I have had a lot more energy now as well. I can actually stay up and do things, which I know makes Freddy happy. I am slowly starting to get a appetite back. I have slowly noticed that it is harder and harder to get comfortable even more so when I am trying to sleep.

Fun Things

Memorial Day Weekend!!!

Friday night we went out to the Mader's for a Hillbilly Jamboree...yes it was as interesting as it sounds. We started by grilling out...I believe we had 4 grills going at one time and were rotating things on and off. Then we all went down to do some shooting. I shot the 380 handgun and the 22 rifle. Still can't keep me from the shooting range, wont be able to hunt for most of the season this year but I can still do some shooting. Once it got dark we started a bonfire, which I must say was the BIGGEST fire I have EVER seen. Sure did enjoy the S'mores!!

Saturday night we had Jed and Katie Holl's Wedding Reception...words can not describe. Lets just say it was a GOOD night.

Sunday night we went out to the campsite where Freddy's mom and sister were all at. We had a good time grilling out, watching the Coca Cole 600 and once again made S'mores.

Monday we went over to the Kinney's to grill out and I bet you can guess.....made S'mores!!!!

18 Weeks

We got to see our baby today for our 18 weeks ultrasound and we found out Baby Mersberger is a GIRL!!! We are super excited. I was actually surprised how excited Freddy was. Don't get me wrong I knew he would be excited either way but I knew how much he wanted a boy. However last week he did refer to the baby as a she, this is when I knew he would be just as excited if we were having a baby girl. All I could think of was Carrie Underwood song "All American Girl".
