Back home

Hello All,
Melissa and Andy took a trip to Minnesota over the holiday weekend. We spent time shopping at the Mall of America and also saw the Brewers get their butts kicked in the Metrodome by the Twins! :-( Boo! It was fun, though. We only hit an hours worth of traffic on the way home, today! Melissa is doing well. Her belly is expanding a bit and she finds it uncomfortable to sit in some positions for too long. We go back to the doctor on June 1st. We hope all is well with you and that you had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Love,
Andy and Melissa

Feeling better

Hello All,
Just wanted to let you know that Melissa is feeling better. The new antibiotics worked well, and no reactions! She is also getting her energy back so that's nice...she can get a few things done now when she gets home from work instead of crashing!!

We hope that all is well with you!
Love,
Andy and Melissa

Heartbeat and some other stuff

Well, for those of you who don't know, Melissa was very sick last week. She hasn't been at school since Wednesday. We thought it was the flu, since the fever was almost 102, but turns out that it was a horrible sinus infection. :-( She went on antibiotics on Friday, but on Monday woke up with a terrible rash! So, it was a good thing that we had an OB appointment tonight. The doctor told her to stay home until Wednesday since the rash is EVERYWHERE!!

On a positive note, Melissa got new antibiotics tonight. Pray for no reactions!!!

We also heard the baby's heartbeat. It was 168 which the doctor says is perfect! We go back in four weeks for some blood work and to schedule our ultrasound. :-) We are very excited...it was an overwhelming experience to hear it! Melissa almost cried! Andy had a big smile on his face!! There really is a baby in there! We also heard it move at least 3 times...the doctor says it's active! So, I suppose that's good...better calm down before it comes out...haha!!

We love you all! Take care!

Love,
Andy and Melisa
