19 Weeks!

Wow I can't believe I am almost to the half way point in this pregnancy!! It's going so good and I really love being pregnant! =) I knew I would! We got exciting news this week.....baby is a GIRL!!! We were so shocked! We both really felt like it was going to be a boy!! We had a gender reveal party that night for our family.  We made cupcakes and filled them with pink filling, everyone took a bite at the same time to find out that it as a girl! It was so much fun!! We are still searching for the perfect name for our little princess. I went shopping some this week and baby girl already has about 7 outfits hanging in her closet!! SO fun!! I didn't gain any weight this past month so I felt like that was a good thing, considering I gained 6 pounds the month before! So far I have only gained 9 pounds this entire pregnancy.  We have another appointment on December 28, they are going to do another ultrasound because they didn't get a clear view of her heart.  I am excited to see how much she will have grown by then and also double check that it's a girl! =)

16 Weeks!!

Today I am 16 weeks! 4 months!! Wow! In just one more month I will be 20 weeks, halfway through the pregnancy! That just blows my mind! I am feeling really good lately, my energy level has finally came back up so that is helping a lot!! We have an ultrasound scheduled for November 21 and we are counting down the days! We can't wait to see how big the baby has gotten and also find out if it's a girl or a boy! 

I felt the first tiny baby flutters this past week.  They were very light and quick but it kept happening for a few minutes and I knew what it was! =) It was very cool and a sweet moment!

The baby is now the size of a avocado and measuring about 4 1/2 inches long and 3 ounces.  Baby can also now hear noises and may be startled by loud noises. If that's the care then I am sure my class scares baby on a daily basis! Next time I updated we should know if we are having a son or a daughter!! Can't wait!

12 Weeks!!

Sunday I reached the 12 week mark! 1 more week and my first trimester will be over.  Still feeling good, just tired, but hopefully that will soon be getting better! I don't really have anything new to report on.  We think we have a boy name picked out, but sorry we aren't telling just yet! =) As for girls, I really have no idea, I have a few names I like but none that I completely love...so we'll keep working on that! I know your all really here to see belly pics...so here ya go! I don't care for these pics, Monday afternoon after work and feeling tired! I look blah! But ya get the picture! =)

11 Weeks!

I am 11 weeks today! Two more weeks to go and the first trimester will be over! I have been so blessed and haven't had any morning sickness!! Only a few mornings of feeling a little ick, and then sometimes in the evenings but nothing major at all! Praise God! We had our first Doctor's appointment on Monday.  The doctor was running very behind and we waited 1 1/2 hrs for my appointment time.  I was so happy have Mitchel there to keep me company.  Dr. Sherman checked me out and said everything looks great, my estimated due date is April 23.  She put the doppler on my stomach so we could hear the heartbeat but after several minutes of looking around, she couldn't find it.  She told us not to worry that usually the baby is just still too small to hear.  She then told me to come meet her in the hall and she was going to do an ultrasound so we could see the baby's heartbeat.  It was already 5:00pm at this point and the ultrasound tech had already gone home, so Dr. Sherman did it for us.  It was a very quick ultrasound, she basically just let us see the baby and it's tiny heart beating away!! Wow! What an amazing experience that was! You could even see his/her tiny arms and feet sticking up!! It definitely made our 1 1/2 wait worth it! =) I go back on October 24, I will be 14 weeks then.   It's working out well so far and that every appointment should fall on Mitchel's days off so he will get to go with me! I'm still not really showing yet, my lower stomach is starting to get a little more fullness to it, but nothing anyone else would really notice yet.  Belly pics will be soon though! =) Until next time!!

We're Having A Baby!!!

If your reading this then you probably already knew this news!!! I decided to make this blog to help keep all our family and friends who live away up to date on my pregnancy.  I will try to update regularly and post belly pics!! We are both so excited to begin this journey and become parents!

I am 7 weeks along as of yesterday and feeling pretty good.  I have had a little morning sickness but haven't throw up yet! Which is great! Just a little nauseousness every now and then.  I find that if I let myself go too long without eating, I start feeling yuck. So I am trying not to let that happen. I have been pretty tired in the evening when I get home from work, but that's to be expected.  I was always exhausted the first few week of school without being pregnant! As of right now I am due April 22, 2012.  I see the Doctor for the first time on September 26.  I will be 10 weeks then and will find out more details at that appointment.

I hope you enjoy following us during this exciting time!! We are praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby!
