15&16 weeks!

Sorry I didn't post last week. Nothing new and exciting happened so I didn't feel the need to post, not to mention I've been super busy. Nothing new this week either. My bump is getting a little bigger! Just over 2 weeks until we find out the gender and we can't wait! Hopefully next week there will be a little more to write about!

First official "bumpie"

Alrighty! As promised here is my "bump" picture. There hasn't been much to show and then this week it was just there! Here is my 11 week picture and then today's picture!

14 Weeks Update!

There is really nothing new to report this week. We are getting anxious for the big gender ultrasound, we have just less than a month! I seem to have a lot more energy here lately, although I am not sure if that is the second trimester or the new job... or both!

I had to do my glucose test yesterday and I was super relieved this morning when the doctor's office called me back to tell me it was NEGATIVE! Yay!!!!!!

My belly is starting to pooch a little, I will start posting the bump pictures on facebook soon!

Well that's all folks! See you next week!

13 weeks update!

This week was pretty much easy peasy. Not much happened this week. Yesterday we did go to the perinatologists office. My doctor recommended that I go see one because of a chance of chemical exposure at work. The appointment went great and the doctor said everything looked absolutely perfect. They took about 30 pictures of every part of the baby. It was cool to see every part of the baby. We got to see all the chambers of the heart, the brain, the bones in the arms and legs, and the spine. It was so neat!

Not much else to report this week other than I am starting to not feel as tired as often... which is great! See you next week, and in the mean time, enjoy the pictures!

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!
