Okay so we had suspicions I was pregnant probably around 4 weeks, we took a test around 5 weeks, and heard the baby's heartbeat on the ultrasound at 8 weeks and 2 days!! We really didn't want to tell our families until the end of October, that way I would be almost done with my first trimester.. but all of you that know us well probably know that we can't keep our mouths shut for longer then 2 seconds!! So we told our families at 10 weeks! We gave our parents a cute little baby basket filled with some things for them to keep at their homes! Jesse's parents were so excited!! It will be their first grand baby!! The rest of our families were excited for us too! This is going to be one lucky baby because we have the most awesome families around and know that baby will be so so loved!!! Alright so...
What I know Now at 11 Weeks...
- I have a heard a few times that women who are more active before they are pregnant and exercise regularly usually don't get morning sickness... whoever said this was flat out WRONG!! I have been sick since week 6 and exercised for like 2 hours each day before I was pregnant... Don't believe everything you hear this is not always the case!!
- I am really having to teach myself how NOT to get annoyed every time someone tells me how hard this is going to be... Yes.. I realize it is probably going to be a little hard..but it will be SO worth it!
- I don't really crave anything yet.. but certain things taste absolutely AMAZING!! Like french fries from McDonalds, pickles, and diet coke!! Yes I know I'm being so healthy!! lol
- On the eating note- I never want to have another cracker or gatorade again!! That's all I ate for like a month and a half.
-I never really understood the meaning of tired until now.. me and my bed are besties!! :) This picture is literally what I spend every night doing.. seriously.. It's pathetic! hehe
-I used to eat chicken nuggets from Wendys all the time. Chicken and I have a completely different relationship now... barf.. actually now that I think of it.. I'm not really in to any meats right now. hmm.
-"Preggie Pops" are amazing!! Thanks Ry and Am
- I'm not showing yet, I don't think, I just feel really FAT and BLOATED!
- I'm a stomach sleeper and I'm so sad because I can't sleep on my stomach anymore.. my BLOAT gets in the way and is REALLY uncomfortable!!
- I get up to go pee at least twice a night right now.. I used to hardly every have to go!!
- Jesse is an amazing person and has been so patient with me.. I don't really feel like doing too much these days besides sleeping and he has been a trooper!
-We are reading "What to Expect When You're Expecting." It's so fun to read what the heck is going on there!! It is so amazing to think what my body is doing.. I will tell Jesse "I'm so tired" and he tells me "Yep! It's hard work making a baby!" :)
-I'm not able to take my regular pre-natal vitamins because they are huge and nasty and make me want to gag just thinking about them so I have resorted to taking 2 Flintstone Gummy Vitamins for kids every day! They actually are not bad! Much better then the pre-natal!
-One word of advice-- try NOT to fly on a plane when you're in your "sick" (understatement) stage!! It is NO good!
-I was horribly sick from about week 6-10, I have only actually thrown up 6 times. It's week 11 and I am finally starting to feel a little bit better!
-Another pet peeve of mine.. When people tell me my body will "never be the same.." I hate this!! Thank you people for rubbing it in.. as if I already didn't know this.. sorry.. this could be the hormones talking...
-I'm horribly anxious waiting until my second doctor's appoint.. This has been one of the longest months of my life!

Yay!! We are so so excited, I like reading your pregnancy blog-it reminds me what it was like-not so long ago. I LOVED being pregnant, enjoy every second! I think you'll have a girl?!?!
CONGRATS! So dont listen to ppl when they say stuff like your body will never be the same (the list goes on) but if it makes you feel better, my body is the exact same! i feel no different and im actually in better shape now then when i got prego...sooo... im pretty sure your going to be fine. And the only thing i can tell you is to keep belly butter stuff on your belly so you wont get stretch marks that stuff works wonders! enjoy being pregnant its sooooo fun! but its better when your little on is out and you get to hold them :)
