I know it has been a while but I wasn't sure I could get through a post without spilling our news too early!
{WE ARE HAVING A BABY!}
And frankly I have be holding off because who really wants to hear about pregnancy details from an annoying pregnant lady?!
With much thought, I have decided to be the annoying pregnant lady that documents this new life because I want Baby B to be able to laugh at the stories and I want to be able to compare future pregnancies.
And I just want to, okay?!
With that being said, if you get annoyed with silly little pregnancy/baby posts you must stop here!
Otherwise, let's just see how the next 6 months go together! No I do not plan to be a perfect pregnant lady or the perfect mom, so please leave judgement and snarky comments at the sign in page.. Off we go!
I will start by saying we have been waiting a long time for this sweet one, but God has taught us so much during the wait that we are so thankful for. Isn't He good, and He is so dang smart with His timing! It's a wonder why we try to help Him so much! ;)
The day we found out was truly a day for the books. Blake nearly turned the chair over when I showed him the test and of course we were both in tears. Working together all day, with employees flying in and out, was interesting. We smiled at each other all day and caught ourselves laughing at how giddy we both were.
And wouldn't you know it, that very week the pregnancy symptoms started full force.
I have struggled every day of the last month and a half eating. Just plain eating. If you know me well, you know that this has never been an issue for me! Luckily at our first appointment our doc had some great tips for me! Speaking of our first appointment, it was pretty awesome. Baby B looked like a grain of rice (6 weeks) and the heartbeat was about as big as the whole baby! We didn't have many questions because frankly we didn't know what to expect. We hadn't told a sole yet so we had no advise going in! I think we did okay ;)
Appointment #2 (10 weeks) was also exciting. Baby B had grown so much and the heart was so much stronger. This was the first time we cried looking at our little peanut. Our doctor is so awesome and gets just as excited to show us our baby! I really wasn't expecting another ultrasound this time, but I sure was relieved to see the baby again!
Currently we are 12 weeks! I am hoping the yucky pregnancy symptoms will fade soon and I will get some energy back! Being able to eat normally again would also be nice but hey, I won't complain! I really can't tell if my belly is growing because of the baby, or if it's just bloat and fat.. Whatever it is, it's starting to get a little pudgy! Can I just say that it is a very weird feeling after you have tried to stay semi-fit your whole life?!
Well I guess that's it for now, I will be back after the New Year and our next appointment. (possibly finding out gender then!!) I hope you all have a wonderful, safe, and Christ centered holiday season!
Peace!
