14 weeks!

Here is me and my belly at 14 weeks...





Everything is going great!

Cake!

I was craving yellow cake with chocolate frosting. So Adam went to the store and got me the box of mix and a can of frosting.....CAKE TIME!!!

The cake hit the spot.

But who is the pregnant one...this is how Adam eats the cake....

Let's go back....

Late??

May 18, 2010

Late? Hmmm...maybe I calculated wrong. Maybe it's stress. It's surely coming...right!?


May 20, 2010

Still late...still waiting. Nothing. So I asked Adam when we should take a pregnancy test. He said we should wait until Sunday, a week late. I thought, ok sure...even though I was a little anxious.


May 21, 2010

I had the day off and nothing planned for the day. As soon as Adam left for work, I moved out to the couch with the pups. I laid down and was exhausted. I thought it was just because I had just woken up, it was about 8am and I just needed more sleep. So I stayed on the couch and fell asleep. I woke up at about 11, ate some cereal and laid right back down and went back to sleep. I slept until about 2! Then I just laid around feeling like I hadn't slept in days. I thought this was odd because how extremely tired I felt, even though I had done all this sleeping. I told Adam that I was overly tired and didn't think something was right. I suggested that when we were out grocery shopping that night we should just go ahead and pick up a test. So we did...


The results are in....

We picked up a test at the store, a 3 pack. I guess they want to make sure you are sure! We got home, Adam unloaded the groceries and started putting them away, and I went to pee on a stick. Moments later....the words "PREGNANT" appeared on the little screen. I sat there in awe. Looked up, looked back down, still "PREGNANT." I immediately got this huge smile on my face as my heart starting beating so fast. I went out to the kitchen, Adam turned around and all I could do was hold up the stick. He came closer, looked, looked again, took the stick out of my hands, and said, "Are you ready to pee again? You're peeing on another stick right now. Get ready to pee." I laughed, as I was not ready quite yet. So he filled up a full glass of water and said, "Drink." I think he was a little in shock, don't you? So about 15 minutes of me drinking water passed and I was ready. So in the bathroom we went and he had to supervise to make sure I did it right. Again, "PREGNANT." And Adam's response..."We're taking the third!" This time we let a little time pass as we watched the finale of Grey's Anatomy, which oddly enough had Meredith taking a pregnancy test and it being positive. About an hour passes and it's time for round three. Adam again had to supervise. And once again..."PREGNANT." Adam's response this time..."So I guess we are pregnant!" You think??







We couldn't believe it happened so fast! We were so excited and so blessed. You can tell from Adam's look on his face....haha

Let's confirm...as if there is a question!

May 23, 2010

It was Monday morning and I called my family doctor right when they opened to get an appointment. We needed official confirmation! They were able to get me in later that afternoon. So I went to the doctor and they confirmed it...PREGNANT! As if I was unsure...after 3 tests!! They didn't do much except for a few blood tests, figured out that I was 5 weeks and estimated my due date...

JANUARY 23, 2011!!

Throughout the week we made our phone calls and told everyone. It was early, but we couldn't wait! And who can keep a secret like this!? It's such a blessing!!

5 weeks belly...of course you couldn't tell anything. Oh the changes to come... :)

8 Week Appointment

June 14, 2010

Our first appointment at Womack, the hospital on post. I wanted to go off post for my pregnancy but was first approved for Womack, so that is where we will go for now. We were excited about my appointment but nothing happened but paperwork. Boo. Just lots of paperwork and health questions. So that was pretty boring. But they were questioning how far along I was...thinking I was farther along than 8 weeks. So the nurse put in a request for me to get an ultrasound "asap" so that we could know for sure. I needed to call the next day to get my appointment. In the mean time, she set up my next appointment (12 week, second trimester) for July 13th.

I called the next day to get my "asap" appointment scheduled. July 9th!?!? That's ASAP to you!??!? That's 4 days before my 2nd trimester appointment! Annoyed and irritated, I made the appointment. Good thing it's not important!!! Ugh...

Uhhhhh...

June 18, 2010

I started to have a little bleeding the night before and it was still there in the morning when I woke up. Scared, I called the vice nurse at the hospital. She told me to come in right away. So in Adam and I went.

I had some more blood tests done and then I saw the doctor. He did an ultrasound. And there it was....our little peanut!! Then the doctor turned on the sound....THE HEARTBEAT!! What an amazing sound!!! And such a relief!! I cried a little and Adam smiled and gave me a high five! It was real...there was our baby!!! Simply amazing...

He did say something interesting...I have an extra sac in there...he said it might have been prepared for another baby but nothing ever formed. You can see it in the ultrasound, to the right of the baby. Twins...could you have imagined?!

Let's take a dip on vacation in AZ!

June 27, 2010

10 weeks....

Whew...welcome 2nd trimester!!

July 13, 2010

Off to our 12 week, 2nd trimester appointment. We were hoping to get to see our baby again and hear the heartbeat. No ultrasound, but we did get to hear that amazing sound of the heartbeat again! As the nurse was trying to find the heartbeat, she was moving it around my stomach quite a lot. Finally she was able to get the sound long enough to tell it was 160 bpm. Then she told us that our little baby was quite a squirmer! She said as she was trying to find the heartbeat, the baby was moving away from the device on my stomach. As soon as she's find it, it would move! It was moving all around! She said at least we know the baby can hear...it was trying to get away from the sound! Unbelievable!

Our next appointment is for July 27th for an ultrasound. YIPPEE!!
