13 weeks and 5 days

Hey all! Last year I was so bombarded with people asking me where my wedding blog was. All I kept thinking was, why would people want to know all the little details that go into the wedding, to me the fun part for everyone else is the big party at the end a.k.a. the wedding not that we spent several hours making C.D.’s, fan’s, and filling little bags with M&M’s. However, now I feel like this new journey should be shared. In this case the little details are so precious (and sometimes not so precious…lol).



Well, as most of you guys know Chris and I are expecting our 1st baby sometime in December (EDD December 15th). Chris and I found out that I was pregnant the Friday before Easter. I didn’t believe it! I made Chris go out and buy some test that were digital and spelled it out for me. And low and behold all 6 of them said Pregnant, YES, or some variation of the two. We decided not to tell anyone until I was further along around 12 weeks but we couldn’t take it anymore. We shared our great news on Mothers Day weekend with all of our friends and family.


So far this pregnancy has been great! I have not had any Morning Sickness at all. I have however been very, very hungry….all the time! In the first trimester I was also exhausted. I mean, I have been very tired before but this was something I have never in my life felt. During this time Chris was the best. I would come home from work exhausted and sit down (having been on my feet all day) and within minutes I was asleep. When I would wake up dinner would be cooking, clothes washing, etc… He really is the best! He and Tina were also supper excited because I actually sat and watched (well slept through) movies at home with them.




I have had three pre-natal visits. The first one they did an ultrasound but that was at 6 weeks and it didn’t look like anything but a squishy blob, hence the name squishy. We also heard the heart beat which was totally amazing. That is when I realized that it was real. There really was life growing inside of me and I was going to be a mom!


I am not showing yet however I have been taking pictures every week since I was 10 weeks pregnant and the only thing(s) that seem to be growing are my boobs….Ahhhh! So I’m hoping they stop growing and my belly starts. I can’t wait to have a baby bump.


I promise my blog will not be this long all the time but I had to fit 3 and a half months of my journey into this first one! I will try to post every week and update as things arise. I’ll also be posting pictures as we get them. Hope you enjoy our journey, we certainly are having the time of our lives.
