14 weeks down, 26 to go :)

Well, I'm 14 weeks and 2 days along this journey and feel AWESOME!!! I haven't been nauseous in over a week (unless I don't eat, nice, huh). I can't wait to feel Baby D move, but that's a few weeks off. My sister-in-law says that I have a baby bump now, I just think I look fat, but hey, I'll pass it off as the baby :) Started making lists upon lists, lists of furniture to buy, lists of clothes we'll need for the baby, and oh goodness, it was a panic attack waiting to happen.

Anyways, all is well here, my next appointment isn't until June 2, which seems like forever. We probably won't even have an ultrasound until the big anatomy scan at 20 weeks, so I sill have 6 weeks for that. I just want a healthy baby!

Baby Room

Well we decided on a theme for the baby room--beach/island!!! Yay, I'm so excited to get started but bummed that I can't help out more with the painting, etc. If you all have any ideas, please feel free to share them!

As for me, I've been having lots of headaches. It sucks, but I guess I'll take a headache over terrible morning sickness. Not too much else going on. 9 more days of school and 19 days until we leave for Jamaica!

1st trimester. . . .gone

So today I am 12 weeks and 2 days along. Some websites say that's it some say it's at the end of the week. I think that I am now entering into the 2nd trimester, so there :) My energy level has picked up a bit and I did some yard work on Saturday with Brian. I also enjoyed my first "mother's" day, even though I'm a mommy-to-be right now. Brian got me a cute card and a picture frame and my parents and brother got me flowers--how sweet :)

I feel truly blessed to have made it this far through the journey. You hear horror stories from women at work about the dreaded "m" word and it makes you even more nervous to really know how often it occurs. I hope that this is the beginning of a wonderful journey into parenthood. I am so thankful for everything.

Heartbeat!!!!

Well Tuesday, we had another appointment and finally, baby D cooperated and we heard the heartbeat. It was amazing just to know that everything is ok in there. On top of that, somehow I lost 4 pounds since my last appointment (I also hadn't eaten lunch so we could hear better, and went to the bathroom before hand), so I guess I'm not quite packing on the pounds yet--soon though :)

2nd trimester starts Saturday (according to half the websites I visit daily) so that will be a relief as well since chances of miscarriage decrease significantly. I started wearing maternity clothes--they're so comfy!
