We're ready for the beach!

Well, Sunday evening we leave for the beach. I am SO excited. Tim and I both need a break. Plus, we'll celebrate his birthday when we're down there. YAY!

As far as my pregnancy goes, this little booger has kept me very sick the past few days! I have just felt horrible at night and in the mornings. It's ok though, I know it'll all be worth it soon :) Here are some belly pictures I took earlier. I am 11 weeks and 5 days. We're getting closer every day! Soon we're going to start buying furniture.. eeek, I am so excited!! I also bought my first outfit from motherhood yesterday, it was expensive, but it's super cute so I didn't mind so much. The capris, I have on below, but the shirt is a coral colored tank top, it's cute!

Anyways, I guess I'll get off here and find something to do, possibly pack?!

Our weekend in the mountains!

Well, this weekend Tim and I stayed in a small chalet in Gatlinburg just to get away for a little bit. Of course, we are close to Gatlinburg and go there often, so it was not like a vacation or anything lol! We did have a good time though. On the way up Friday evening we stopped at Logan's Roadhouse and ate. It was good, and I was pleased to see the woman beside us breastfeeding her sweet baby! :) Saturday was a little more fun. We layed by the pool for half the day, cooked out, and then went out for the evening. We just walked around Gatlinburg and came back to the chalet. Tim enjoyed the hot tub, I enjoyed my feet in it :) Today we got up, cleaned up and packed, had breakfast at Flapjacks, and came home. We're having a cook out right now with some close friends, but I'm just resting on the couch. I am so wore out! Anywho, here are some pictures from a weekend! Not many to see, because we had nobody to take them for us!

Almost 10 weeks!

I'm sitting home waiting for Tim to get here, he's on call :( so I am going to post about my pregnancy thus far!

My last period was on March 22nd, 2009. We were not expecting a bab
y, as I was on birth control and not planning. According to how far along I am now though, I conceived April 12th, 2009. Which if I remember correctly, was Easter. Haha :) Whoops! Anywho, I missed my period on April 24th. I immediately went and bought a pregnancy test, although I had not had any symptoms. I just know my cycle, and by 3pm if I hadn't started, something was not right! I got a very very faint second line, so then I bought this.
I called Tim right away, and I went straight to the health department to confirm. I was just stunned. She had me pee on an HCG test, and sure enough, another positive! From there, I left, called a few friends and got OB recommendations, and made my appointment for the following Friday.

My first OB appt was on Friday, May 1st. It went well. Of course, there was no heartbeat, as I was only 4w5d at the time. I got one picture of my baby, because there was only a little sesame seed there.
That night we told my parents and his. Both were excited!! We thought we could wait, but we couldn't! They just had to know :) Sooo, fast forward a few weeks. Morning sickness set in, I've been back to the doctor, my abdomen is swelling, and I got better ultrasound pictures and heard the heartbeat last week! We're so excited that it's almost unreal. Now, we're praying for a healthy, full term pregnancy!

My First Blog!

Well, thanks to the JM group, I've been inspired to get a blog! I guess this actually is a neat way to document things about my pregnancy daily, but I hadn't even thought of it.

Speaking of pregnancy, today has been an alright day with the M/S. Last night at supper I actually had an appetite. Tim was so surprised that I ate. I think I surprised myself too. Tonight chicken and dumplins sounds amazing! I need to get started on that!

Anywho, I'll try to update this thing frequently and not be a slacker! My next post will be all about my pregnancy from the beginning, but I must get supper started now! :)
