10 Weeks

Today Josh and I went in for my 10 week visit. It was a very special appointment because we got to hear the baby's heart beat. First, I do have to say that while waiting in the waiting room Josh had to say "It smells like pregnant people in here!" What do pregnant people smell like?!?! I just stared at him with confusion. He's slightly clueless. Then, while in the Dr's room waiting for the doctor he was very mesmorized my the posters on the wall. You would think he was a 13 year old boy in health class. It was very hilarious!! Now back to the ral appointment. The heart beat was very cool. Everything I expect it to be, a lub-dub-swishy-sloshy sound. It was beating 180 beats, which is considered fast. Which to some people mean girl, but the Chinese calendar say I'm having a boy... so I guess we'll have to wait another 10 weeks to be sure. It was so weird knowing that there is something really alive in my belly. I can't wait for my future appointments and to watch our baby grow... along with my tummy ha!!

Up to this point my pregnancy has been ok. I started getting very nauseas and sick at 6 weeks. All day long and not knowing what I could and couldn't eat. It was awful! I thought for sure it was getting better but today Josh and I went to Pzza Factory and yep that all came back up!! I have to add that my list with tuna, lasagna, garlic bread and the occasional tooth brushing in the morning. I keep telling myself that so many women have it worse than I do so I try to keep positive about it. I have lived off Tums for the past 10 weeks I have surely kept them in business!! I do have to say that I am really greatful that my pants still fit!! I feel like I am getting bigger but my clothes still fit and I have lost weight not much and not by the choice I'd like to. But I am always looking for things that I can wear and am very greatful for the styles being so flowy and big.

I am also very greatful for my hubby Josh. I have been an emotional roller coaster for the past 10 weeks. He has put up with my moodiness and sickness so well. I keep telling him that the bad trimester is almost over and we can get back to cuddling and going out and enjoying each other. I feel so bad and know I am being a beast but sometimes I just can't help it. I love him so much and as much as I say I have his demon baby in me I don't mean it. I truely love him and this baby with all my heart. He is going to make a great dad!!

PREGNANT

If you haven't already heard... yes I am pregnant!! And when you read my next post you'll understand that Josh and I had a very good time in Mexico!! We are joking that our baby will come out brown and with a shot of Tequilla!!
Josh and I have been wanting to start a family for some time but wanted to have one last amazing trip with no responsibilities. I went off my IUD January 9 and found out I was pregnant February 1- yes Super Bowl Sunday!! I was very anxious to take a test but knew that it was early but took one anyways. The first test I took was a very faint blue positive line. I wasn't sure if it was really there or if I was imagining it there because I wanted it there. So I went back to the store and bought a dummy proof kind that said "pregnant" or "not pregnant" and sure enough... "pregnant"! My sister was the first one I called and I kinda freaked out when I said it out loud. I was so excited and freaked out at the same time. Was I really ready for this? Of course that day I had to go to a Super Bowl party at my in laws (all without Josh, he was at work). I'm not good at holding secrets and I for sure thought I was going to spill the beans but I held it! Josh wasn't going to be home for another 10 days and it killed me every time I talked to him on the phone but I just couldn't tell him that way, I had to see his face. So I came up with telling him on Valentine's Day. I know! I know! I had to hold it for 4 more days while he was home!! It was so tough. For Valentine's day we went to my favorite restuarant The Melting Pot. I wrapped up my postive test in a box and gave it to him. He was so excited!! He said he knew (yeah right that dang ego of his!) but I knew he was surprised.
After dinner we went to Build-a-Bear and each picked out and built a bear for our parents. We bought t-shirts and I ironed on letters that said "Dress Me For A Grandbaby". Our parents were so shocked but in a good way. They are very excited. All my dad cares is that we don't neglect our first children... our puppies!!

Long Awaited Update

I know! I know! I am terrible at this blog thing! I have just been so busy lately and before I knew it Christmas was here and gone, Cancun was here and gone and now we are already well into March!! I am so sorry. I was going to post a few different blogs about Christmas, sledding, New Years and our Cancun trip but I decided that it would be so much easier to start fresh. But I have to mention our Cancun trip... that's how it all happened!!

In January Josh and I went to Cancun with 8 of our bestest friends. We had the time of our lifes!! Sleeping on the beach all day, playing beach volleyball, eating as mcuh as our tummy's would allow!! It was such a blast going with such great friends. Here are some pics of our trip. Sorry that I am not going to expand on our trip or I'd be here all night!! And thanks to the tequilla I will be off of the Mexican poison for 9 months plus!!!! WINK! WINK!
