Time to let the cat out of the bag. Dan and I are expecting our first baby!
I'm 14 weeks along and the baby is due July 19th. We are so excited! But I am also thankful that Heavenly Father made it so that we have 9 months to prepare for the new little life joining our family. :) Here's a little info on the pregnancy so far.
We had our first ultrasound at 10 weeks and it was so amazing to see this little alien/gummy bear-looking baby wriggling around like crazy. I can't wait until we do the next ultrasound to find out if it is a little boy or little girl. Then the names, baby room decor, etc. can all be put into motion! Woo! I don't like surprises so there's no way I could wait until we have the baby to find out the sex. I need to know ahead of time!
The first trimester was actually pretty easy. I made it through without throwing up once. I was nauseous for a few weeks right around Thanksgiving (good timing, huh?) but other than that I was mainly just really tired. So let's hope the second and third trimester will be just as friendly to me. Keep your fingers crossed. I did buy my first few maternity items: a pair of jeans and two shirts for me to wear in the summer when it's hotter than heck and I have a huge tummy. The jeans are still a bit big for me to wear just yet but my "normal" clothes are starting to get a little tight in the belly region. I also made my first trip to Babies R Us and wanted to buy everything in the store. I ended up coming out with a diaper bag and baby clothes hangers. My mom yelled at me because I'm supposed to wait until after my shower to buy stuff because "other people might want to buy those things" for me. I couldn't help it! I'm excited. But I'll be a good girl and wait now.
Dan is a very excited father-to-be. He talks to my tummy and tries to listen to see if he can hear the baby moving around in there. He's going to be such a good dad!
That's our big exciting news for now but there will be many more updates to come.
