Weekly Update

I've seen this questionnaire on a lot of blogs and I have decided to include it on mine.

How far along are you? 15 weeks

Total weight gain? 8 lbs. (I’m not sure how the heck that happened so fast!)

Maternity Clothes? Most of my clothes don’t fit anymore. I do still wear my dresses, but pants are completely out of the question.

Sleep? I really sleep pretty good, but I do have to go to the bathroom several times a night.

Best Moment of the Week? Hearing the baby’s heartbeat at my appointment this week.

Food Cravings? Nothing really, but I do love grape soda now (it’s caffeine free too!)

Gender? We find out on April 21st, but I think we are having a boy.

Labor Signs? None…way too early.

Belly Button? It’s deep in the morning, but it gets shallow by the end of the day.

Stretch Marks? None that I didn’t have before getting pregnant =)

What I miss the most? Honestly…..margaritas. I didn’t even drink them often, but it’s just that I CAN’T have one that makes me miss them. I’m not a lush or anything I promise.

What I'm looking forward to the most? Finding out the gender of the baby next month!

We're Expanding!

It has been a LONG time since I've blogged. I haven't been blogging for couple of reasons, but the main reason is that I couldn't talk about what I really wanted to. WE ARE HAVING A BABY!

Anthony and I are so excited, but we decided to wait a while before telling anybody. I am 14 weeks and my due date September 18th (one week before my 31st birthday). We started "trying" to have a baby in October and got pregnant in December. I was so shocked when the pregnancy test was positive. On a whim, I decided to take a pregnancy test...I had no real reason to test...I wasn't even late. I took the digital test and it was POSITIVE. Well I didn't trust it so I drove to the drug store and bought two more tests. Both tests had two lines. Anthony was at work so as soon as he walked in the door, I called him in the bathroom and asked him how many lines he saw. I just wanted someone else to confirm that I wasn't losing my mind.

My mother was the only person I told for several weeks. We finally went public last week. Yesterday we had an appointment and we were able to hear the heartbeat for the second time. It was just the sweetest sound. We find out the gender at our next appointment! I can't wait. Neither of us really cares if it's a boy or girl, but I think we are having a boy.

I think I will be a lot better at blogging...now that I have something to blog about.


With my siblings after they found out!
