my shadow is pregnant!

Yes it is! And its kinda freaky :). People are starting to notice my bump... all the girls at work have been saying how I have a bump all of a sudden... and when I took Lena to the vet tonight even the vet noticed! Its so cool! I've been feeling the little squirmer for about a week now, and its simply wonderful. We have our BIG ltrasound in two weeks! I cannot wait!

Finally!

I found our girlbedding online! YAY... So the boys bedding I posted a while ago, and this is what I would love for a girl.

Anyway... pregnancy is going well. But I am CONVINCED that the baby does not like Tuesdays. Why? Cause for the past month, while I have been at work, on a Tuesday, I have gotten ill, if you know what I mean. Not fun! But I love the little bean, so its all good. All in all, I am feeling much better, besides headaches and feeling lightheaded... but I seem to have more energy, so that is nice...

Squirmy Worm

We had our lastest appoing yesterday... it went really good! We got to hear the heartbeat again, and our little squirmy worm was kicking and splashing around! We would hear the heartbeat, and then a strange noise, which was a kick! It was amazing! And I think I am feeling movement! Today at work I kept feeling little drumbeats. I swear it was the baby. I am also post my "Mid 14 week belly shot" Enjoy!

My life - and the lack of buttons and zippers in it.

Well... my life is almost completly void of pre-pregnancy pants. None of them will button anymore. And thanks to my wonderful sister-in-laws advice, of using a hair tie to make them fit a little bit longer, I was able to get a few more weeks out of them. But alas... the one pair of jeans I was relying on, failed me on Saturday. I am now wearing "stretchy pants" but not for fun (inside joke). I honestly can't wear anything else! But to be honest, they are so comfy!

And here is a pic of my "1 day short of being 13 weeks" belly shot. I had a lady at church say that my belly is starting to show, and that its not "is she fat, or is she prego" its def a pregnant belly! My mom said the same thing, and the neighbor lady commented on how cute my belly is! Yay! I am so excited!

Over 12 weeks!

YAY! I am so thankful to be past the 12 week mark! Earlier this week I *thought* my morning sickness had left me. I could have never been so wrong. I got sick this morning, then got sick an hour I after I got to work... and then again after lunch. Needless to say, I went home a few hours early. And now I feel better, very hungry, but better. I will be honest, I was happy to see it return. I know, I am crazy, but I love every single pregnancy symptom. I have had over 6 weeks of morning sickness now, and I have been thankful every day!
We go back to the doc in a two weeks... I can't wait! I love how they listen for the heartbeat everytime after the 10-12 week appointment... I can't wait to hear that wonderful sound again!

Good Thoughts

The other day I had a thought about how big the heartbeat really is. I mean, Lord willing, that little heart in there will beat, non stop, for the next 80 or so years. That is so amazing to me!
Good news as well, I think my morning sickness is about gone... the past few days I have been feeling a little bit better...
But... I have had to sing "Another One Bites the Dust" to about 5 pairs of pants already... kinda sad!

We have a HEARTBEAT!

Oh my goodness! For various reasons I was very worried about this appointment that we had today. I had fears that the heartbeat would not be found and all that, even tho everything has been textbook with this pregnancy (as far as I can tell from what I have read). The doctor thought it might be a bit early to hear the heart on the Doppler, but as soon as she put the thingy to my stomach, there it was! *woosh woosh woosh* It was the sweetest sound ever! Our baby has a strong heartbeat of 155! And everything else looks normal for where I should be at. She did say that I should not worry about what I eat at all, cause I am on the low end of weight, and that I should plan on gaining 25-35 pounds... which would put me around 150 when all is said and done. I just praise the LORD that everything was good today! And that we heard the heart... it was amazing...
