15 weeks

Today I am 15 weeks pregnant with you. I am so lucky to be this far along and not getting any morning sickness. THANK GOODNESS. (Mommy hates throwing up) I am still extremely tired which I have been throughout my entire pregnancy. I wish that would stop. And lately I have been pretty irritable. (Must be those prenatal pills or something) I just can't stop thinking about you all day long. Everyday is one day closer to my next doctors appointment where I can see you again. Ultrasounds are soooo.... cool! On February 24th we find out if you're a little boy or girl and not knowing is killing me. I'm ready to go out and shop. We haven't really thought too much about names. Once we know if you're a boy or girl I'm sure we'll get brainstorming more on name ideas. There's a few names I like but nothing for sure. Can't wait to see you again.

Your 1st Doctor Appointment inside my Tummy turned out to be AMAZING...

Here I am at the entrance to the Doctors office. I was really excited but trying to control myself. After walking into the doctors office and seeing all the pregnant ladies who were very pregnant (totally showing) I began to fear that the Doctor would come into the my room and tell me I wasn't pregnant. How awful would that be?

After examining me and discussing that I didn't know if I had a period in October or not and that I had actually lost weight since being pregnant he said, "Well from everything you're saying I think you're probably not that far along. Maybe 8 weeks" So I was a little sad b/c I thought I was at least 10. Then we went to get the internal ultrasound so we could see you which was so not that bad, I thought it was going to hurt. He instantly said, "Well you're further along than I thought." After doing the measurements of your little head and body he said that I was 13 weeks and 6 days pregnant. I am so excited...

I forgot to tell you that as soon as I saw you for the first time tears came to my eyes. You're still so little but I could see you. Your little hands and head and body. I didn't realize that you were actually in me until I saw you. I mean I knew I was pregnant but now I have a photo of you that I can look at and say, "THIS IS MY BABY." I brought your photo into work after my doctor visit and made everyone who walked through the door look at it. I said, "Look, it's my baby." I am so proud to call you MY BABY. (That just brought tears to my eyes saying that) I saw your heart beating inside of you and could hear it as well. SO AMAZING!!! So I will be 14 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I found out you will be due July 15th, 2009. I can't wait!!! We will find out next month whether you are a little girl or boy. Daddy and I are looking forward to finding out. I love you soooo.... much!



Here I am leaving my 1st visit being 1 day short of 14 weeks. My belly is getting thicker I feel but people couldn't tell that I was pregnant at this point if they didn't know I was.


Here is the photo we got of you again. Your head is on the right and your belly on the left. If you look close enough you can see your little hand and even like your knuckles. Like you're making a fist. I think they could have printed out a different photo I mean when we were watching you on the screen we could see some great shots. This one there's like something sitting on your head. Is that my placenta??? Odd. Anyway I'll get more photos next time we go in. But I am so excited to see you.

A little nervous/scared for your Dr. Visit

Well my Dr. visit that I set up a month ago is only two days away. I figure tomorrow I will be very busy from work (mondays are awful days at work) so I decided to post my thoughts about it tonight. I'm still just so nervous b/c I'm not sure what they're going to do to me. I wrote down my periods from August and September in my phone but for some reason didn't write down anything for October and I can't remember for the life of me if I had a period or not. I'm sure that will be the first question they ask in order to figure out how far along I am. I'm sure I'm one of a few crazy moms that can't remember her last period. Anyway I'm not sure how they'll come up with an accurate due date without knowing about my cycle. I guess we'll see. But I am really concerned about the appointment. And excited about it as well. I just hope I like the Doctor. Afterall he might be delivering you.

Other pregnant family and friends....

We went out with Uncle David, Aunt Susan, Aunt Rachel, and our best friends Travis and Elissa last night. Both Aunt Rachel and Elissa are pregnant. They are having two little boys. Aunt Rachel is due the end of January and Elissa the end of February. If you're a little boy then you could be best friends with little Teagan and Xander when you grow up. If you're a little girl I'm already bringing up the idea of you marrying Xander when you grow up! LOL..... There are so many babies being born. Here are a few others.

Your Step-Aunt Leslie is pregnant with a little girl
My High School friend Ashley is pregnant with a little girl
Aunt Rachel a little boy Teagan
Elissa a little boy Xander
Aunt Amber is pregnant with a surprise.

And then there is you. OUR LITTLE SURPRISE!!!
