She moved!
So baby Cadhla (Ky-lah) let me know she was in there this afternoon with some very odd feeling kicks. I was so excited I started laughing, and I keep giggling a little every time I feel her now. It felt like a "whoosh" in my tummy, which is amazingly difficult to describe. Like butterflies, I suppose. I just wish Dustin could have felt it too. I guess in a few weeks she'll let him know too.

BIG WEEK FOR BABY RILEY!
Hello All!
I am registered on babycenter.com, so every week I get a "baby update" on development as well as what to expect as a new mom. This week is a big week because it suggests this is when we can begin talking to the baby. It actually says to "narrate" your day, but I'm not so sure about that one! However, I do plan on reading to the baby and keep listening to music. Talking to the baby helps for developing language skills later on, so make sure when you see me you greet baby Riley as well!

Mom and baby had another excellent appointment yesterday. Baby Riley's heartbeat was 154 beats per minute which is good and strong, and the baby is 8cm long from head to rump, as Dr. Putterman says it. The first picture is a bit blurry, but in the second and third you can see skinny little legs and a spinal cord. Because of the spinal cord, I think the baby looks half human, but still half alien at this point. But I will take my little alien and love it forever. : )
Still no definitive answer on the gender yet, but Dr. P said he wants to see us again in three weeks, then the next one after that would be "the big ultrasound". I am so excited!
Mom and I were bickering as normal yesterday over the ultrasound pictures, by the way AKA B-T-W, I'll try to get some better pictures and post later this weekend. Dr. Putterman laughingly said "I think she's confused over who's baby this is." In that same respect, I received a text from mom on the way home suggesting that we begin referring to the baby as "grandbaby Triplett" rather than "baby Riley". I believe this child will be so spoiled, they won't know what hit them!
With the wedding getting so close, I am beginning to concentrate more on how I'm going to set up the nursery, but first and foremost, how I'm going to rearrange the other three rooms in the house to make room for the nursery. Or rather, how Dustin is...he..he..he. We have discussed a few themes which include something with elephants (as if you didn't see that coming) or the zombie apocalypse, or even more ridiculous than that, dinosaurs riding unicorns. As you can see, we have quite a lot of thinking to do. The good thing is, we still have plenty of time for that.
Next appointment is in three weeks where Dr. Putterman said we would get better pictures. But in the meantime, I will try to get better pictures of the ultrasounds from yesterday, and possibly a picture of myself. I don't believe I'm showing yet, but it may serve as a good comparison to a couple of weeks down the road.

2nd Appointment: March 1st
Today was a quick appointment, just listened to the heartbeat. Still healthy and strong at 157 beats per minute! Nice talk with Dr. P today. Morning sickness has let up quite a bit, now I only seem to gag (violently, as mom puts it) when there is a bad smell. She unfortunately was referring to an "incident" a few weeks ago in the middle of the galleria. NOT FUN. The last few weeks I have gotten most of my energy back, and I feel much better than I have the weeks before.
Less than three weeks until the wedding, and then I think we can start some serious baby planning!

Hello everyone!
I would like you to meet Baby Riley! Dustin and I took an early honeymoon this past December, and we left as two and came home as three! Our first baby appointment was February 2nd. Mom and Dustin accompanied us to the doctor to see the BIG unveiling. Tears later (from mom) we found out that our new baby was healthy and happy, and "flippering" around all over the place. We got to see and hear the heartbeat, which was incredible! The next appointment was set for today...
