Christmas will never be the same...

We just got done celebrating Christmas and I just couldn't stop thinking about how next year and for every year after our holidays will be a whole new experience after having you. Aaron and I actually think it will be fun not worrying so much about gifts for ourselves but for you next year. There is so much to look forward to. We were in target the other day and Daddy sort of left me and I ended up finding him down the stroller aisle checking out different strollers. It made me smile. I just can't wait!!!

Your First Doctor Appointment has been made....

We made an appointment for Tuesday January 13th to go in and see how far along I am. I am so excited to find out but nervous for my check up. I don't know what they are going to do but I just want to make sure that all is well so far. Wish the appointment was earlier but I guess I'll have to wait until then.

Getting Anxious....

I am getting a little anxious lately to go see a Doctor. Just b/c I'm not sure how far along I am. I mean we're pretty sure I'll be due in July but not 100% positive. I just would like to hear from a Doctor how far along they think that I am. It would really make reading all my pregnancy books a lot more fun knowing what week I should be reading about. I already can't wait to find out if you're a little boy or a little girl. Being that it's Christmas time I have already be drawn toward the baby sections in all of the stores and I wish I could start buying now. (Although I know Daddy is glad we're not there yet).

Some Early Symptoms....

I think I'm pretty lucky so far. I haven't had any morning sickness YET!!! I'm not really sure when that usually happens since I've never had a baby before but I'm praying that if I was going to get morning sickness I would of already experienced it. So that's what I like to think. I am experiencing a part of my body getting larger and more tender (but Daddy likes that hahaha), having to go pee more than usual, being so tired 24-7 it's crazy, feeling a little nauseous at times, burping a lot (weird I know), and last but not least always feeling hungry but then when I have food in front of me losing my appetite. Why couldn't this happen when I was trying to lose weight? Anyway it's crazy. Something is definitely happening with my body that is for sure.

MIGRAINES!!!

Well one thing I really hope I don't pass onto you when you grow up is Migraines. I hate Migraines!!! I had two last week and because I am pregnant with you I'm not able to take my medicine. It's pretty awful to be numb and throwing up all day b/c of your migraine and not being able to take anything to make it go away. I just tried to sleep as much as I could. I actually had two in two days. I had to take off of work two days as well. I'm really glad they're gone now. I hope I don't get anymore. I lost 5lbs. in those two days. Didn't want to eat anything and just layed helpless in bed.

Your first trip in my belly....

Your first trip was in my belly to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving. While we were there we got to tell all of your relatives that we were pregnant with you. It was really fun.
Also while we were there Daddy tried on a pair of pants I got (Preparing for when my belly gets really big) it was funny to see him push his belly out and look like he was pregnant!

I am Pregnant with YOU!!!!!

That is right yesterday November 20th 2008 I found out I was pregnant with you! After 4 years of being married it's about time we start a little family. I'm still in shock over the whole thing. I never thought this day would actually happen but it is here and I am so excited (and a little nervous)

Mommy was a little confused with the first two tests she took. The second line which meant you were pregnant wasn't very dark so I wasn't sure what that meant!

Because I still felt a little unsure of the original tests on my way into work today I stopped at Walgreens to pick up a digital test. One that would either say Pregnant or Not Pregnant. After a few moments of waiting the test was positive!!! That's the moment when it started to feel real. When I really felt like you were actually in my belly beginning to develop into a little baby boy or girl.

Why the Budge Baby Blog?

So after I discovered the blogging world I had always thought that it would be fun to keep track of my pregnancy. That's right I am planning on blogging all the ups and downs of the next 9 months of my life and in the end printing out a book that one day my child can look back on and see everything that happened while he or she was growing in my belly.
