Week 15

I'm a little late on this post but we just finished our 15th week on Sunday! So many exciting things have been happening! First I got an early birthday present and was able to feel the baby moving for the first time on Thursday. Then I went to Ames to celebrate my birthday with my family on Friday. Had a wonderful time at my mom's 50th birthday party on Saturday! And last but not least Grant and I got to spend the entire day celebrating my Birthday on Sunday! I am so blessed to have such an amazing family!

Week 14


14 Weeks and feeling great! Baby is the size of a lemon! I have started wearing the maternity clothes that have been waiting in the closet. Things have been pretty busy at school and I am having to learn to stay off my feet more and let the students take charge of cleaning up the art room on their own. With the school year coming to an end I will be spending as much time as I can getting ready for next year and packing up all three art rooms while I am still feeling good. Grant has been amazing and taking care of me very well. We have been researching baby names and trying to find the perfect name for our little boy or girl! Can't wait to find out what we will be having!

Week 13

13 Weeks! Baby is the size of a Peach! 

I'm coming up on the end of my 13th week, which means I am in my Second Trimester! I have been feeling so much better with the exception of a few days here and there. We got to hear Baby Riedel's Heartbeat this week. It was around 152-154! 

We are getting to work on some of the things on our do before baby list. Grant't parents came up this week and Grant and his dad put in new carpet in the baby's room. Grant and I (mostly Grant) worked on painting, carpeting, and putting shelves into our bedroom closet! I looks so good! We have more things to work on before October but I am feeling pretty good about what we have accomplished so far!

Week 12


12 WEEKS! Baby is the size of a Plum! Yum! I am finally starting to feel better. Everything I see I want to eat. I am really missing deli meat ;) My biggest craving right now is a ham sandwich and potato chips. Which I can not have. I am trying to fill up on fruits and veggies and trying to not give in to my desire to eat at every restaurant in Cedar Falls. 






Week 11


11 WEEKS! Baby is the size of a Lime! My first trimester was filled with learning about the baby and morning sickness. I spent many days resting and dreaming about our future! I lived on almond butter/peanut butter sandwiches and applesauce.

We are so excited to announce that Baby Riedel will be here in October! We couldn't be more thrilled! We found out just 2 days before Valentine's Day! Baby is already loved so much!
