Um, what just happened?

So I took my most recent photo (with my new maternity pants and shirt, might I add) and I feel like I suddenly got HUGE....Shall we compare?

3 1/2 weeks....pretty fairly flat...besides the fat...

8 Weeks and a couple days....definitely bigger.

9 1/2 weeks....WHAT?!

Yeah, so, that happened.

It's a baby!!!!!!

I realized today that I hadn't taken any bump pics in the past couple weeks. While I was at work, I was in the bathroom and decided to look at my belly.....I was surprised as to how much of a bump was there! I've definitely gotten bigger!

8 weeks 3 days

So I went in today to have a check up because I was having a little bit of pain so I wanted to make sure everything was ok. The doctor did an exam and said that everything looks good. But she decided to do an ultrasound just to make sure. Here is our little bean!!!!

8 weeks 3 days

Wow, it definitely feels real now......I love this little bean....

6 Weeks 6 Days.

Tomorrow I will start into my 7th week and all I want to do is sleep. I mean it. I want to sleep ALL day. Which is hard when I am a housekeeper at a hospital and all I do is move constantly ALL day. I get home and as soon as I sit down, I want to sleep. I cook and eat dinner and then immediately fall asleep on the couch. I'm just exhausted.

Today was my day off and I drove to my Dad's house to visit him before he left for Florida for the winter. He leaves next Wednesday. Next time he will see me I will be just about 5 1/2 months along. It will probably be quite a difference. He hadn't said much about the baby since I told him, but today I mentioned it and he said "It's still so weird to hear you say that." Tell me about it! LOL!

Two weeks from today we go for our second appointment at the doctor for the baby. I can't wait. The appointment after that we will be able to hear the heartbeat.

So here's the latest pic....not much different from the last. Still pretty bloated.

6 Weeks 6 Days

Not much else going on. Besides the fact I need a nap.

Mind Your P's and Q's.

Sometimes I wish people would just shut their mouths. Yes, this is another rant.

I love that everyone and their mother is trying to give me advice on pregnancy. That's not the bad part really. It's the part when people start comparing my pregnancy to theirs, or telling me how I should feel or look at this point in my pregnancy. Every pregnancy is different and just because I don't have the same symptoms as you did or don't look how you did, doesn't mean diddly squat. Just shut your mouth and leave well enough alone.

Now that that's said, I've decided to start putting my weekly (or semi-weekly photos) here. Here's week 5 1/2. Yes, I know it's mostly bloat, but as I've told other people, I'm bloated because of the baby so therefore, it's my baby bump.

5 1/2 Weeks.

I went to my first doctor appointment on Tuesday and it went well. They just told me my due date (August 25th) and then took about 6 vials of blood. My next appointment is on January 19th and then the one after that we get to hear the heartbeat. :)

We bought some stuff for the baby this week. A bunch of onesies and a couple toys and books as well. It's so fun shopping for the baby. :)

Anyway, I should probably go get dinner ready...Will update you soon!

246 Days to Go.....

....At least that's what my "ticker" tells me. Also that my baby is the size of an apple seed. That's actually pretty freakin' exciting. It's amazing how quickly they grow in the first trimester.

Tomorrow begins my 5th week. So, I thought I would include some pics...

3 1/2 weeks.

5 weeks tomorrow! (And feeling a bit bloated...)

Mrs. C.

Excuse Me While I Ralph.

Ah, yes. The nausea has begun. Luckily, this week hasn't been so bad, but this past weekend sucked as far as how I felt. Drank a bunch of ginger ale and had some ginger chews and I felt much better. Have had a few cramps the past few days but nothing big.

My hubby, Mike, and I are going to our first appointment next Tuesday. I can't wait. :) I just want to know everything is going ok. It's still weird to think there's a baby growing inside me. I don't feel much different.

I haven't taken anymore tests where as the last one was fairly dark. I just wanted that dark definite line.

A lot of people have told us they think we are going to have a girl. Although, I've had a few tell me they think it's going to be a boy. We decided that we are going to find out though when we can.

Not much else on the baby front right now, but I will definitely update you on Tuesday! :)
