Don't tell anyone, but...

my pants are not buttoned today :-/ I think my belly grew yesterday! It seems to be poking out a lot more than it has been, and today I could barely get my pants buttoned...and when I did it was very uncomfortable, so I'm at work with a hair-tie holding my pants up...

I know I'm not technically supposed to be showing yet, but this bloating is crazy! I think I'm going to go get a belly band this weekend to better hide my unbuttonedness!

Vacation!

We finally were able to get together with our two best friends this week and tell them our news. They were both so excited and happy for us! These friends are also who we travel with every year, so going on one more trip before the baby is born came up during dinner. I really thought DH would insist on saving every penny, but he got excited and...

We booked a babymoon!! I'm so excited that we get to go on one more trip before the baby comes! I know that's kinda silly, but we love to travel. Just love it. We booked a 4 night cruise to the bahamas and key west! It's going to be so much fun! Our friends are going with us, I can't wait! I'll be 17 weeks by then, so hopefully I will have a little belly and be past the looking chubby phase :)

YAY!

Ultrasound!

Yesterday was my first appointment with my doctor and our first ultrasound. It was amazing! As soon as the picture popped up we saw the baby, clearly looking like a baby! I never thought it would be so clear this early. The baby is measuring perfectly (7weeks, 5days yesterday) and that confirms my due date as March 28th. We got to see it's little hearbeat too, which the doctor said looked perfect...but couldnt give me the exact number since he doesn't know how to work that feature of the ultrasound machine, lol. I didn't even care at that point, we saw that the baby is healthy and that is all that matters. DH is very excited too, it all seems a lot more real now.

My MIL is already buying clothes and things for this little one. It's going to be spoiled rotten. :)

Tomorrow!!!

Yay!! I can't believe it's almost ultrasound day! My appointment is at 10:00 tomorrow...I'm so glad I don't have to wait all day. This has been the longest wait EVER, but finally, I get to see my bean! DH seems really excited too, which is so cute. I just love him. :)

If you pray, please say a prayer that everything will look perfect tomorrow.

My First Appointment

I had my first real pregnancy appointment today! It was just with the nurse, but it was still exciting to have an appointment because I'm pregnant. She started right away with questions like will I breast or bottle feed...it's crazy that they just jump right in like that! I guess it just feels a little weird since I don't really feel very pregnant yet.

I got a bunch of information from her and she answered all my questions. They checked my weight, blood pressure, urine, and they took 4 vials of blood! My next appointment is in 4 days :) and I will have my first ultrasound then!

I feel like I'm already getting a belly. My clothes are still fitting, but it's like I don't have any extra room in them anymore. It's kinda scary, since I know I'm not really supposed to be gaining weight yet, but I'm hungry all the time! Some books even say it's not uncommon to lose weight in the first trimester...not me. I've been trying to eat healthy snacks, but it's harder than I thought it would be!

That's all for now...Oh, and my sister is having her c-section tomorrow! So I will have a new nephew in less than 24 hours!!
