Update..

Just wanted to write another post. I know it's been a little while, and I want to write on this blog fairly often, as I've found pregnancy is always changing for me.

Not that I want to set myself up to get sick by saying anything, but I've actually been feeling pretty good lately. I haven't had the late night sickness in a week or so... I'm still very tired, but I can deal with that. My appetite has been better lately.. I still have to eat smaller, more frequent meals, but that's fine too. I'm pretty adjusted to living like that now, anyway.

I'm starting to really show. It's getting to the point where other people can tell. For the longest time, I felt like I was just making more out of it than it was.. "showing" and all... but now, I'm seriously considering getting some maternity clothes soon because I really hate jeans! I live in PJs at home (and my brother, Matt got me a super cute PJ set for Christmas! Woohoo! ).

We went to meet my midwife on December 16th, by the way. That went well. It was very nice to have Tim come because it was a great time for the two of us to meet who was going to deliver our baby. We thought she was pretty cool. Has a British accent.. good sense of humor. Over all, we think we like her. Since I went to see her, I've been taking two Flinstones complete vitamins daily, instead of my horse pill prenatal vitamins. She said it gives me what I need, without the dread of getting nauseous. I like that. They're a bit grainy, but hey.. I'll do it for the baby..

By the way, side note: If you can, avoid hitting that wonderful first trimester sickness part around Christmas AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I was blessed with not getting terribly sick, but it still threw me off alot this year with getting things done in time for Christmas. I felt sick the worst right between Thanksgiving and Christmas... ha, and I thought it'd be cute to be announcing pregnancy right around there...didn't account for that...

I'll be posting up a new picture soon. I feel like this little guy/girl is growing everyday! Actually, you'd be surprised at just how much growing they do actually grow week to week. It's alot.

Also, we will be going to our first ultrasound on New Years Eve *insert awww* ...hopefully we'll have all kinds of good news to tell you guys about that experience.

I guess this is all I'll write for now. Hope you all had a great Christmas!

8 weeks shot

I don't have much time to talk, but here's a snapshot of what I look like now..

First trimester weirdness

So I just want to let you know, pregnancy is tiring! I feel like I could sleep allll day.. and I would, if I didn't still have a job. That's a good thing, though. Keeps me up, gives me exercise, AND gives me more experience with babies ( it's a day care).
But yeah, all I want to do is sleep. Sleep, and occasionally eat. It's so strange. I feel like I have this HUGE gaping hole in my stomach, yet NOTHING looks/smells appetizing. I usually end up suffering through something that I don't feel like eating until I feel like I'm gonna throw up (which takes usually just a few bites), and then hope that suffices. I have to eat. If I don't eat, I really think I would throw up. My stomach pretty much hates me. It's so exciting though when I will know what I want to eat, because then I can usually stomach a good amount of that food. Today, it was a ginormous veggie italian. mm. That was gooood.
Anyway, I think I'm going to go lay down...

First photos

..here's my first "baby belly" shots... although right now it doesn't look like much... good for keeping track, though. Anyway, this is me at approximately 6 weeks.

The beginning

Well, here it goes! Our blog about pregnancy and how our little baby is doing!
So I'm somewhere between 7 and 9 weeks pregnant...I think. I need an ultrasound to figure that out a bit more. I'm leaning more towards only 7 or so weeks.
I can definitely tell the baby is growing! You wouldn't think that only being this far along would feel all that different, but it sure does! I itch all the time, apparently because I'm stretching. I can't sleep that well at night. I'm always rolling around, trying to feel comfy. I can tell there's definitely a baby in there! Thankfully, I haven't thrown up yet. I hear that's something that usually occurs around 6 weeks. I definitely have a sour tummy sometimes, but I just keep making sure I'm eating and taking my prenatal vitamins.
It still feels pretty crazy. This whole pregnancy thing. I'm super excited, but its just one of those unbelievable things. I always couldn't wait to have a baby, and now that I actually at that point in my life, its hard to believe. I can't wait to hear my baby's heartbeat. I hear that's when it becomes so much more real. I think it probably would.
