Week eleven is quickly coming to an end. I cant believe that I am almost coming to the end of the first trimester. I have to say my road thru pregnancy has been good to me. Only a little bit of nausea. The fatigue and peeing part are a pain in my butt but I mean I am already starting to feel more energetic and I don't think ill ever stop the constant peeing. Although I have had it quite well and cant really complain all that much. Im still waiting on my baby bump. I think my chest gets bigger everyday and my belly definately isn't flat anymore! I promise to update the bump soon I promise its already bigger than the first photo that I posted. Tyler and I have been talking about a lot of babies and what is to be expected. I am by no means an expert but it is fun to think about what life will be like with a baby in the house. Im still a little bit overwhelmed but slowly feeling more at ease with people starting to find out about our little babe. If you know me then you know I am a pretty private person, so initially finding out how many people knew made me realy uncomfortable. I am slowly excepting that fact that it feels good to share such rewarding news and I still cant help to feel very blessed with this little babe!

Dreams

This week has been another good week. I was at home last weekend and my mom caught me checking out my belly in the mirror as I do every single morning maybe even twice a day. My mom wanted to know what I was going to do when it actually starts to grow? I'm not quite sure how I feel about my belly growing. Don't get me wrong I really cant wait for this baby and all that comes with it. It would just be nice if you could skip the getting fat awkward body stage of pregnancy! Do all women feel like this or is is just me and my freakish fear of getting fat, even baby fat. Lucky my body does not let me skip out on any food or I get nauseated and lucky for my growing baby I know that I have to eat lots of good food for the babe to grow! My belly is definintely not flat anymore but I cant say that I have any huge baby bump yet! Soon to come in the next few weeks I suppose! I have found that one of the funniest things about being pregnant are the dreams. All of my dreams have become very vivid over the past couple of weeks. My latest and greatest dream I was a college student dating my teacher who happened to be Jim Belushi?! I mean really Jim Belushi not Patrick Dempsey. It was one of the funniest dreams I have ever had, I was sneaking him into my dorm room because it was not right to date a college professor! Weird baby dreams! Lucky my husband is the much better looking and so much funnier than Jim Belushi! Love is all around us and we are slowly prepping to become parents! Here is a view of our little babe at 9 weeks and 3 days old!

Oh Baby

Oh Baby Baby, You have no idea how much you are already loved. We got our first peak at our little babe today and its amazing how much love our little one inch wonder already has. This baby's list of admirers continues to grow daily. We have continued to share our special news with out closest friends and family and this bundle of joy! I have always thought that I would find out what the sex of the baby is. My anal side makes it hard not to want to jump right in and be over prepared for the arrival of our babe. This week I got the chance to really think about life and all the wonderful things we have been given and we have decided to wait until this little babe is born to find out the sex. There are no little surprises in life anymore and this is one of life's biggest, best and most beautiful surprises! So only 7 more months until we get to see our little babe! So far this baby is right on track to what we thought. The baby was measuring just right for nine weeks and three days with a good strong heart beat! From now on we will be seeing the doctor every four weeks or so! I bought all my crochet supplies today and plan on starting my first baby blanket tommorow! Im even more excited because of the prospect of such a wonderful surprise!

loaner babies

Happy New Year! Tyler and I had a great weekend away for Em and Jim's wedding! It was an absolutely beautiful wedding! Congrats Again Em and Jim! Tyler and I were lucky enough to get to be around lots of beautiful babies and children this weekend. We met a lot of wonderful people and parents who were able to give us wonderful parenting advice and let us have some "loaner baby" time! Tyler got a lot of Dad advice which was really great for him considering he does not get to be around babies at all. I don't get to be around healthy babies ever so it was a wonderful change of pace to snuggle with healthy little interactive babies. It made being pregnant a much more real experience. I think my favorite piece of information that we got this weekend was that," when your baby comes you no longer really want to go out to the bars and out with friends, when your friends call you to go out you invite them over to watch your baby roll over." Well I dont know about Tyler but I cant wait to spend a lot of my nights just watching my little baby grow! Still really looking forward to getting out of the first trimester. My biggest complaint this week is exhaustion. I feel like I just cant get enough sleep. Only to more weeks of night shift and maybe i will feel a little more energized. One week til we visit Dr. Davies! Ill update late next week after we get some more news from the Doctor!
