We are expecting our little pumpkin right around May 20th, 2014. I'm just about 12 weeks pregnant, and happy as ever.
Seeing those "you're pregnant" lines on the pregnancy tests was one of the most exhilarating experiences I've ever had. Even if it was in a Wal-mart bathroom (ok, I was a little anxious). I almost couldn't believe it. But it's happening, and it's wonderful.
Pregnancy is hard. But I knew it would be. And I've been extremely fortunate to have mild
We feel very fortunate to have gotten pregnant at this time in our lives. We've prayed for the past two years to know when the right time would be, and feel like things have really worked out for the best. Mark has a great, stable job with USAA, I'm graduating from BYU-I in December, and things just feel right.
We already had our first ultrasound and got to hear our baby's heartbeat. It was seriously the coolest thing.
They aren't kidding when they tell you about cravings. When I have the chance to splurge on a craving (which I can't always do, because if I did I would regret it. Like my craving for cheese the past two days. Which is why I currently can't breathe well and am coughing like an idiot. Can't keep eating cheese. Dangit.) it's like an out-of-body experience. Like, food becomes this magical thing that exists only for my happiness. But then the next minute, food (ALL food) just makes me want to throw up. It's a love-hate relationship.
And my belly is already starting to show. And trust me, I've told myself that it was just from a meal, or that it's too soon... But that bump isn't going anywhere. No matter what I do or how much I suck in. I love it.
Yay for babies :)
Don't suck it in! It's adorable. And a lot of people start showing before the first trimester is over. Like me. Who looked like I was about to pop by the time I was 20 weeks. I'm happy for you.
