A little background on why we call this little baby cashew. We had asked our daughter, who is two years old what we should name this baby and she yells out CASHEW!!!! And it sort of stuck. Ironic that at the time the baby looked very much like a little cashew.
I found out I was pregnant back in mid October. My estimated due date (edd) is June 19th. Yay warmer months! So far we have had one doctors appointment. I met with a midwife in my Ob's practice. I love that this doctors office has 8 Ob's and 4 Midwives. Whenever you go into labor you get whichever OB is on call but you also get a midwife too, which I am excited about. I am actually thinking of just switching to a midwife. I generally like their way of doing things better. Not so medical and by the book. Which if you have ever had a baby you know not all pregnancies go by the book anyway.
Anyway Chris and I are excited to be making Kaylee a big sister! Not sure she feels the same way but I am sure she will come around sooner or later. She loves babies!
I will try to keep you updated about future appointments and photos as well!

Babies progress -
Week 11
Your baby is a super-duper grower! Your little fetus will be gaining a substantial amount of weight this week and has already achieved fruit-size-status comparable to a plum. What's more, your little scientist is already starting to explore their body, focusing most intently on touching their head, and especially their face and mouth. Their mouth in particular will provide them with hours of entertainment. This happens not only because your baby is gaining coordination, and is therefore able to move a hand on command, but also because their palms have gained sensation and can actually “feel” what it touches.They're also developing their swallow reflex this week. And lastly, your baby's smelling and other olfactory senses will begin developing this week, which when combined with the maturing taste buds, will provide your baby with their first experiences of taste and smell.
