Our little peanut

We had our first prenatal appointment today! It was very exciting to see the ultra sound for the first time! The baby was a little smaller than I thought it would be. All my websites said that the legs and arms would be developed by now but ours were just little nubs. We still got to see and hear the heart beat. It made it a little more real but I am looking forward to the times where it looks more like a baby than a blob of white and grey. I went maternity shopping yesterday for the first time. Since I am no longer fitting in most of my clothes. (well comfortably anyway) I knew my boobs were huge right now but I had no idea I bought a bra that was a 40F holy moly! I am normally a 36D. I still have a little room to grow into it but it's still crazy to think it's only just begun! I asked the midwife if any part of the major pooch I have is baby. Everyone keeps telling me it's impossible that i am showing. She said that it is from the baby growing inside and pushing my intestine out a little bit. This made me feel a little better. Jeremy got to come with me for the first appointment. I'm glad he did. I was pleasantly surprised that he had some question of his own. He probably won't be able to come to all the appointment but it was nice to have him at the first. We'll see which others he can make it to. So all and all things are going well. I have still been really sick all the time but I am hoping that will pass with the first trimester!

Go! Go! Go!

Can I have a weekend to recover from my weekend...Please? Oh my, I feel like I have been on the go this whole weekend... Oh yeah, because I have! All good things but I am pooped! Dinner with my sister on Friday night. Then Saturday I was lucky enough to call it a day early and was able to move up my plans. So I had a late lunch at Postino's with the girls and then off to see Sex and the City 2. Sunday was spent with the Tan family to get together before everybody goes out of town for the summer and celebrate all the summer birthdays. Then today was spent with my family because my Uncle Tom and Aunt Sue were in town for the first time in 30+ years! Phew am I tired! It was all worth it though! All the most important people in my life all in one weekend can't beat that!

9 weeks pregnant

I am 9 weeks pregnant today. After telling close friends and family in person, finally posting the big news on facebook, now it's no longer a secret. Which is good because I don't know how much longer it would have been a secret physically. I feel huge even though other than some weight gain, bloating, and my boobs being a full cup size bigger there are not many outward changes. The baby is the size of a grape and has reached fetus status. This is nice that the pictures I show Jeremy of what our baby would look like are not nearly as freaky to him. Although he is a little disappointed that the "embryonic tail" has disappeared! He thought our baby having a tail was cool!! I am so looking forward to our first appointment next week. I think that seeing our baby on the screen will really make it real! I have been pretty sick and exhausted recently. Unfortunately it keeps getting worse. I am hoping that I will be one of the lucky ones whose sickness ends with the first trimester. No matter what I take all of the negative symptoms as good sign that everything that is supposed to be happening is happening!

Second times the charm?

This is my second attempt at a blog. My first attempt was chronicling my dating life. When I found myself in a serious relationship and getting married that didn't seem to apply. Now that we are married and expecting our first child I thought would start a new blog that I could chronicle our life together. I am sure this year will be crazy! Newlyweds, being pregnant,and then being parents together for the first time surely will have it's ups and downs! This will be a way to remember as well as update others what's going on in our little family!
