8 Weeks and counting!

This is the big week! Finally going to the doctor this Thursday!! I am so excited! This last week was a little rough. I got sick on Monday and Wednesday. It hits me around lunch time. Monday I was still at work, luckily Wednesday I had made it home. I also have a bit of a head/sinus cold. I have had a sore throat, sneezing, and stuffy. I had a headache for about 3-4 days. That made it hard to even function. I am feeling a little better tomorrow. Now that I am done with summer school, I can get a little more rest. I am also going to start doing some organization. I need to clean out the closet in baby W's room. Now I just need to find a spot for my wedding dress! Randy has been doing an excellent job taking care of me and being helpful! I guess me getting mad at him once was all it took! :) I will post again on Thursday! I should have baby's 1st picture!!!!

Father's Day

Father's day is a special day to me. Since I was raised with just my dad it has always been special to me. The most important people in my life have always been men...my dad then Randy. Some people think I missed out growing up without a mother, but I would not change it for the world. I feel so blessed to have been raised by him. My dad may have been a little mean and overbearing at times, but he has good intentions. I look at the amazing life I have now, and I have to say that my dad helped make it. I am strong and independent. I graduated from college, moved out, started a career, got married, bought a house, and now am expecting a child! And I am just 26! Not too bad! Now my husband is going to be a dad. I know he is a little afraid right now, but he will be so good at it! I know he will. He is very loving and this baby will be lucky to have him as a daddy! I can not wait to see them together! It is funny...people say women always marry someone who is just like their dad. Well, some people may not think my dad and Randy are alike....but they are a little. They are both stubborn, they do not care what people think, they speak their minds (even when the should not), and they both love me more then anything in the world! So I am very lucky to have a great dad and great husband who will be a great dad soon enough!!

7 Weeks

We have officially know about our little one for 3 weeks now! It has gone by fast, so that is good! We shared the good news with Randy's family last weekend and they were all very excited! Just 2 more weeks and we can go to the doctor and see our little "bean"! I can not wait! So far I have not experienced any morning sickness, but I have been feeling a little sick to my stomach the last couple mornings. Hopefully I can be a lucky one. The fatigue has really kicked in hard. I fall asleep just out of the blue. If I sit down on the couch forget it...I am out! I am just lucky not to be teaching full time right now! Other then that I feel pretty good. Of course I have not gained any weight, but I do feel bloated all the time. I can no longer suck in to make my stomach look flat...oh well! Randy has been very helpful with doing the dishes and cleaning the litter box (which I know he hates). He will do pretty much whatever I ask! He is such a good husband! This weekend is father's day and even though we are technically not parents yet, I still bought him a card!

5 weeks and 6 days

Yesterday was one of the 1st days I have not felt good since finding out I was going to be a mommy. I had cramps on and off all day. Not really bad, but I never get them so it is a pain no less. I did not want to move. But, I was good and went to the gym anyway! Of course having cramps made me a little nervous, but from what I read online it is probably just my uterus stretching and starting to grow....which is a good thing!! I am almost to the 6 week mark! I hear this is when morning sickness could kick in. Hopefully I will be a lucky one! Time will tell! I got a card in the mail from my friend Emily, it was a "Congratulations Parents to Be" card! She is one of my best friends who I told! She just had her little guy 3 months ago, so I had to tell her! That totally made my day!! Just 20 more days until I go to the doctor and get the 1st picture of my little baby! I can't wait!!!

Week 5

Well, I guess I am 5 weeks pregnant now! Just 35 more to go....haha! I am still feeling pretty good. I am tired and hungry all the time and peeing every hour but that is about it!! Our little baby is about the size of a seasme seed! Hard to believe it will have a little heartbeat soon! My emotions are getting a little crazy. I have started crying over songs in the car or things I have read. I got upset at Randy last night too. (I need him to talk more and tell me his feelings. haha....this is Randy we are talking about. Getting him to talk is like getting me to stop talking! Almost impossible!) I have decided it is just not fair...I am already bonding with this baby and he has no idea what to even think. I don't think it will be real to him until he sees it on an ultrasound. Just 25 more days until we get to go to the doctor! Here is my 1st month picture! It is not a baby bump...that is just a mexican food and cookies bump!! :)
