15 weeks & 2 days

I am truly the worst blogger in the world! I sometimes forget I even have a blog. From now I am going to post weekly, even if I feel lazy. :)

This week I have noticed that I am showing more!! WOO HOO, its only the thing I have wanted most since I found out I was pregnant. Its funny because my belly button is almost out too. I've never had a deep belly button so in these last few days I have noticed that it wont be long until its completely popped out!
OH big exciting NEWS! A few days before Memorial Day Weekend, we are going to be in Texas visiting my family and attending my cousins wedding and our cousin Dr. Darrell Bowyer is going to do an ultrasound for us! Ill almost be 17 weeks so we are hoping we can find out the gender of our baby! That is going to be one of the most exciting things for us. We will then be able to pick baby names and start with the baby room decoration! Ill keep everyone posted on what the results are once we know!

Here is a snapshot of this weeks progress so far, Jade also wanted to be in the picture :)

Hello 12 weeks!

I remember when I first found out I was pregnant and all I wanted was a cute baby belly so people could actually see I was pregnant. Every week I would google different weeks of pregnancy to see when I would start to show, I realized after a few weeks when my belly didn't look like the other womens at that week that everyone is different and I'll show eventually and to just be happy I can see my toes for now.

I am so thrilled to know I am ALMOST done with my first trimester, not because of early pregnancy symptoms but just because that means less time until we get to see our little one! In two weeks I get to hear the baby's heart beat again and then just a month from that appt. we might just find out if its a little boy or girl!! That day couldn't come fast enough, Andrew and I are dying to know so we can start buying cute little things for our little (already spoiled) baby. 

Here are two pictures I just took of myself for belly progress.... :)

(Excuse the messy office, Andrew never cleans his office)

Baby Turners room in progress..

Sorry for the lack of attention to my blog lately, its been busy these last few weeks. 

Well since we wont know the gender of our baby until the first week of June, I figured I could start with some gender neutral items to the baby room, such as books :) Andrew and I are huge lovers of children's books. We have a nice collection so far between the two of us, and we are so excited to be able to start reading to our little one! My favorite genre of books are poetry books. So of course our little collection consists mainly of Dr. Seuss books. We also have a lot of Shel Silverstein books but not all are child friendly, some are more for adults in my opinion. The Giving Tree is also among the collection and then some bible books Andrew loved as a child. We will continue to add more books over time, but for now this  is our little collection :)

APRIL!

Sorry no belly picture update, I have been slacking a bit! Just wanted to write a bit on whats been going on lately.
One more month until I'm done with school forever, that is until I start teaching and then I'll be in school again forever.
Today has been the worst day for me so far during this pregnancy, I can't really keep any food down, lets just say I've been spending a lot of time in the bathroom. :( Hopefully this isn't a daily occurrence.
Wednesday I have a doctors apt again, to meet with a nurse over nutrition and such things, that will be nice just incase there is something I have not being doing that I should of been.
Other than that, all is well.
I'm looking forward to the next few weeks to come, hopefully I'll be showing a bit more. Right now it looks like I've just eating a few to many donuts.

Ultrasound!

:) I just can't stop smiling. 

We have just returned from our doctors visit, we got an ultrasound! Such a perfect little thing already! Heart beat was 169, and we thought we were only 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant but the baby measured 8 weeks and 2 days! So we are excited to hear all is perfectly healthy! 

The best moment besides seeing our precious little one is seeing Andrew get teary eyed. Such a proud daddy already! 

We feel so blessed that God has given this little baby to us!

Here are two pictures from today!

Spring is near!

This week its going to be in the 70's and thats awesome for Mass in March. Today we went on a hike at Blue Hill. It was so nice to get out with the dogs and exercise. I must admit, I was a bit out of shape :( Can't wait for warmer weather so we can go every weekend now!

6 weeks 2 days

Its still a very small bump but a bump indeed. 

This last few days I have been starting to feel a bit queasy at night.

I wake up about 3 times a night to go to the bathroom.

I get extremely sleepy around 1:30 p.m. 

No real food cravings yet, but the smell of coffee makes me feel sick.

A bit moody I must admit.

I looked at a few of those silly Chinese gender prediction charts (thanks to Stacie. G) and it says I am having a boy. Which is funny because I have this gut feeling that its a boy too! I want to believe its a boy because I will love it either way but also because if I start thinking I am having a girl and then turns out its a boy I will be sad that I can't buy all those ADORABLE girlie clothes!

Our first ultra sound is March 27th! I am counting down the days until we get to see our precious little baby!
