I am beginning this blog on June 6, 2008 and look forward to communicating with everyone local and from a distance.
Well, the first trimester is nearly over and boy we are both happy about that! I struggled with all of the things that come along with pregnancy during the first trimester and Anthony had to deal with me! He has been absolutely wonderful and I have no idea how I would have made it through these last few months without his support.
So, last week we had our one and only genetic screening test, this one was for Down's Syndrome, we agreed to do. I am against any invasive testing and whatever the outcome of the test it wouldn't change the way I already feel about this baby! But this was just an ultrasound and a finger prick, so I agreed. My mom, Aunt PJ, and cousin Ramah were all in town (they surprised me with their visit) and were able to view the ultrasound as well. It was a very exciting day and I was very anxious about the results which caused me to have a tension headache for the 2 days prior to the screening....it miraculously went away as soon as the screening began! We received excellent marks on the screening and don't have any worries of DS. Yeah!!
My nausea has finally subsided and I am waiting for that burst of energy I am supposedly going to get here in the next few weeks! That will be more than welcome!!!
We have had a revolving door of visitors this Spring...very much welcomed by both of us! Our very good friends Sergei and Amanda will be moving to NYC at the end of the month and absolutely can not wait to have them so close!!
I have included a link to baby center's weekly update and will continue to do so for those interested. If you have any thoughts, ideas, opinions, tips, etc....please don't hesitate to pass those along to us as we are new parents and can get all the help we can!!
Love to all,
Crystal

This blog stuff is new to me, but I can get the hang of it, I thihk!
Yes, we had a great trip to NY and the surprise for Crystal was a hoot. I am still surprised I didn't blow it by some comment in the months prior. Finally got to meet their good friends, Steve and Lara. Ate good food, walked and walked and walked, and still never enough time and I hated to leave her again. When the baby comes it will be 100 times harder and I don't look forward to that.
Happy blogging! I'll be reading and commenting regularly!
Welcome to cyberspace! How fun to be able to check in with you and what is going on more frequently than a phone call! We look forward to the saga of the growing bump!
So this is how it's going to be, eh? If I want to talk to "The Crystal Davenport" I will have to read her blog. Nice!
Just kidding... great idea. :)
How exciting! You'll have to show me how this works, since we've thought about a blog too. I'll add yours to our bookmarks and check in regularly! Enjoy!
This is such a cool idea, Crystal! So nice to see you a couple of weeks back, even if it was extremely brief. Look forward to keeping up with you via this forum!
