14 Weeks

I'm 14 weeks pregnant today and in my 2nd trimester, yay! I'm still feeling nauseous but hopeful it won't last too much longer. A lot of people have been asking me for belly pictures so here's the first one I'll post. Josh and I have actually been taking weekly pics since week 4 (when we found out) for a pregnancy journal I have. I'm not going to post them all because they ALL look pretty much the same. I was just at the doctor last week and I haven't gained any weight yet. I lost weight at first and I'm still not back at my pre-pregnancy weight. So you BETTER NOT tell me I have a belly! Cause I don't!!! Not that I'm not excited to have one, I am way excited to finally start showing. I just don't yet. My doctor said by my next visit, which is in 3 weeks, that I'd be showing by then. I guess we'll see! So anyways, here's the first shot (which Josh just took of me a few minutes ago).

Our Little One

Josh and I are expecting our first baby!!! We are so excited and can't wait to be parents to our little one. I'm currently 12 weeks along, about 2 and half months, and due on August 26. Our baby is the size of a lime right now. This ultrasound picture is from when I was 8 weeks pregnant.




For those of you who want to know all the gory details, continue reading! I have been feeling pretty sick since around the 6th week. I usually don't actually get sick but I just feel nauseous everyday. Although I do throw up about once every week or two. My first time actually getting sick was on an airplane and that was NOT fun. We had to take 2 planes to get back home after Christmas break. Both times as the plane was descending to land I threw up in the handy barf bags. The first flight a lot of it got on me and it was disgusting. Luckily Josh gave me his sweatshirt to wear and I could get rid of the yucky one. When I feel the nausea coming I eat a snack and usually feel better, so that's good. Josh has bee SO wonderful! Since I feel pretty bad after waking up in the morning (because my stomach has been empty for so long) Josh will get up first, go downstairs to get me a bowl of cereal, and then bring it up to me so I can eat it in bed without having to get up. That helps a TON and since he started doing that I don't feel bad most mornings. Also whenever we're home and I don't feel well, he just lets me lie down and rest. He'll make dinner, do the chores, get me a snack, or whatever it is that needs to be done. I'm SOOO very grateful to him and how wonderful he's been to me through all of it. I really hope that I only feel sick my first trimester. I don't if I could do this for 9 months. Jennilyn, you're a star! I'm so impressed with how you handled everything throughout your pregnancy, seemed so on top of things, and managed being sick the whole time. I hope I'm not as "lucky" as you though! ;)

Our Newest Nephew- Drew

Finally, another post! I had to wait until Jenn posted about Drew before I did but here it is. These are a few pictures we took at the hospital when we went to visit Drew and Jenn. We love our newest nephew and are so happy to have him living next door to us. Congratulations Jennilyn and Adam! We love you guys!
