Well it's about time...

I have been keeping a secret for a few months now. It has been really hard, because it affects just about every aspect of my life. But today I found out that I really can't keep it a secret much longer.
So...

I'm PREGNANT!

I thought I was about eight weeks along or so, then I went to the doctor today. I expected to see a little mass that looked something like a peanut. But when I looked at the screen during the ultra sound I saw a head a body, hands with fingers and little legs and feet kicking! It turns out I am just over 12 weeks along! I was so excited about being a month further than I thought, I can't complain about skipping an entire month of pregnancy. ( For the most part, I really don't enjoy being pregnant).

My due date is December 17th, I am so glad it is before Christmas. It really does not matter when the baby comes as long as everything goes well and the baby is healthy, but I REALLY don't mind that it will be before Christmas.

I am very blessed, I don't get TOO sick when I am pregnant. Although this time around has been a little worse than it was with Clara. I am a little more sick and have actually thrown up this time. I am super sensitive to smells and certain foods. I am also very tired. And I get lightheaded often and have blacked out quite a few times. But I am just being careful and then I am really just fine. Emotionally, I can definitely tell I am pregnant. I usually never cry, but I watch movies or hear something sad or touching and I am holding back the tears! And I am also super forgetful. So if I have forgotten something in the past three months please forgive me.

Ever since I found out it has not seemed real. I just don't have much time to think about it, whereas my first pregnancy it was the only thing I could think about! So finally being able to see my little baby today in the ultrasound made it real! He/she was kicking and waving at us and moving all around, it was so special to see. I already love my little baby growing inside me, and I can't wait to meet him/her!





Here is the baby waving at us!

I am so glad that you are telling people now. I give you props for keeping it a secret for as long as you did. I am so glad that we can have babies around the same time again. Have to admit that I was hoping that I got pregnant before you again like the last time. I guess it was just a little more difficult this time around. I am not due until March 4th, but it is close enough. Tell Chris congratulations from his coolest cousin. Haha...joking of course. See you soon, I am sure. Take care.
