Week 12 Update

I plan to update weekly via this blog. It is easier for me to do and then I can keep a good record for myself!

This week was a little bumpy. Thursday I landed in the ER with what was the worst pain I have ever felt. I felt like someone was trying to pull my insides out from the outside. I was in so much pain I couldn't breathe so I called the doctor and they said to go into the ER. In the ER, they gave me pain meds....glorious pain meds. After they kicked in, they had the ultrasound tech come check the baby. Everything checked out ok and we got to see our baby! This time it looked like an actually baby and it was awesome! Our little bean had its fingers in its face and its little legs were crossed. It was fabulous! 

Since everything checked out, aside from excess glucose in my urine, they went ahead and discharged me and I had to follow-up at the doctor's office the next day. So on Friday, we met with the doctor, the heartbeat sounded great and everything checked out again, aside from having too much glucose in my urine again. The doctor seemed worried about this since all of my samples have been like this and it's too early for this to be happening. So I get to do the lovely glucose test at my next appointment...lovely right?

At the end of our appointment we went ahead and scheduled our gender ultrasound... Which will be April 10th. We are so excited and I am anxiously counting down the days! Just less than 7 weeks!

That's it for this week. I hope you all get as much excitement out of reading our posts as I do sharing them!  See you in the next trimester (since today marks the last day of the first)!

10 Weeks 6 Days and 1 FABULOUS Heartbeat!

Yesterday we had our second appointment at the doctor's. We got to hear the heartbeat! It was absolutely wonderful! Everything looked and sounded good and I cannot wait until we can go back and hear our little bean again! I cannot wait to share more as we get further along! Until next time!

So Here Recently...

So here recently we decided to share some big news with the world. Joshua and I are going to finally be parents! We could not be more thrilled and it took, what seems like, an eternity to get here! We are both convinced are little bean is a boy, even though we are more than happy with whatever God blesses us with. I have been very fortunate to have had a mild first trimester. I have had no really morning sickness. My symptoms have included exhaustions hunger (like ALL of the time), peeing every 20 mins (and even more if I drink more water) and some headaches. Overall, I have been very blessed with a healthy first trimester. We are 11 weeks today and are due September 2, 2015!

This is how we decided to break the news on FaceBook! 

This is our little bean at 6 weeks 6 days! We were so fortunate to be able to see a healthy heartbeat!

Now that I have something to actually blog about (and not my boring old self), I plan to try and keep you all up to date! We look forward to sharing this exciting time with our family and friends and we appreciate all of the support and prayers that have been given!
