6 Weeks

Finally, this week I feel pregnant.  I have general state of nauseousness and minor food aversions.  I sort of wished for this because it would be reassurance that I am indeed pregnant.  Now, that I have it, I don't want it!
I had breakfast with Leslie, Lindsey, and Kate today and it was sooo hard not to tell them, especially when Leslie is pregnant and we mostly talked about babies!!  I hate secrets!

We have our first appointment with the nurse this week.  It's just history and blood work.  Two more weeks until we can get our babies first picture!!! 

Pregnancy Symptoms: All day nausea, food preferences change hourly, sooo tired!

Weight: 157

Cravings: Eggs, cheese, cheeseburger

Baby Size: The size of a sweet pea

5 Weeks

This week we decided to tell a few people, but it is still really too soon.  I started to get a cold this week.  I never get sick, so leave it to me to get one now when I can't take a lot of meds!

I think I look "fuller" but I think I just have my tank top pulled down more.  I actually lost weight this week, but I think it is because I cut the crap!  I guess I figure there is going to be a time when I'm going to want certain foods, so there is no need to give in so fast!

Pregnancy Symptoms: getting tired, but it could be the cold
Weight: 154

4 Weeks!

So we just found out we are pregnant and here are my very first belly pictures.  Obviously, it's too early for anything, but I figured I might as well start them now!

Pregnancy Symptoms: None
Weight: 157  (still up from Christmas)

Starting A New Adventure!!

Well, we're pregnant!!  Crazy!  I've always wanted to start a blog but nothing really pushed me to do it until now!  I want to be able to document this journey to parenthood and be able to look back on the memories of this time!  Hopefully I can post often, at least more then just weekly updates!  We'll see how it goes.  I would love to make this a habit that extends past pregnancy, so wish me luck!


Where to start?
How about when we found out we were expecting?  Let me paint this picture.  It was Sunday, January 20, 2013.  It was a Sunday and I woke up around 9-9:30am.  I went down to start the coffee and making a nice breakfast for myself and the hubby.  As I'm rinsing out the coffee pot, I look out the window to spot our HUGE pine tree in the backyard had fallen over night during a crazy wind storm!  Good morning to me!!!  I rushed up stairs to wake Tony to check it out!  I just love us, before we know it we are cracking jokes about it and laughing.

Once we took care of all the grownup stuff like take pictures and call the insurance, I finished making breakfast.  After breakfast and after Tony finished watching a soccer game, we decided to get on with our day.  We both went upstairs to get cleaned up to run errands.  Tony asked if I had started my cycle and I said no but I felt like I was going to.  He encouraged me to just take a test.  So, I did and I was shocked!  Instantly the two lines showed up and for the second time that morning, Tony and I found ourselves cracking up laughing!!!  It was crazy!

Going about the rest of our day was a blur! My brain was fluttered with thoughts.  That's when I realized the next 9 months was going to be a huge waiting game!  You wait for the first doctor's appointment, wait to actually feel pregnant, wait to tell people your BIG secret, wait to see a picture of your little one, wait to know everything is okay, wait to actually look pregnant and just not fat, wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl.....wait wait wait!   Did I mention I don't have patience?

I started taking pictures this very first day so I had something to compare to and use as a pre-prego picture.  I'll post them in the next post, so all the weeks have their own post.


Here's a picture of the happy parents-to-be!
