weird.

Tonight I had a whoa moment... I am sure we have all had them before. You know the kind, when all of the sudden something sinks in ? Well tonight Andrew and I were out on our date and I just had this really "full feeling". Like I had eaten a cow, which as much as that would normally be true, was not, I had just had a few bites of ice cream. Anyways, over the last few week I have felt my tummy getting bigger and bigger... But for some reason the normal mentality never set in, you know the fact that I am pregnant and it will do that? Whenever I looked in the mirror or tried on an old pair of pants, I though "Oh my heck I am getting fat! " Well tonight I had an Ah-Hah moment, there is a baby in there and the stomach is not fat, (well not all fat anyways).... I know this may sound so obvious to others, but tonight my tummy didn't just feel like extra pounds. There is a baby in there and the "shrimp" was growing extra fast today.

Ugh

I am frustrated! I am at the awkward stage where nothing fits and maternity clothes are still hideous to me.... I can't find any cute ones! I am so pathetic, I went looking for some clothes and started crying in the dressing room, I blame it on the hormones, I have been crying over "adopt and animal commercials", so there probably isn't much merit to my little fit. Regardless, I have been limited to wearing sweats and feel a little depressed. Anyone have any great ideas or suggestions?
I also,have the sudden urge to go get my hair done, nails and or tan... I know they say women get the whole pregnancy glow... well it must have skipped this generation because my skin is getting horrible and I may sound nuts but my hair has become impossible to work with!
Okay, that is is, just needed to vent.
But I do love this baby and am excited! I just hate being pregnant so far.
Here is the start of the second trimester... A third of the way there...

Little Miracle Sound!

Hey everyone, I had my second appointment and I got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. It was the best sound ever! We were really thrilled and the Dr. is happy with the development, I am not happy with the weight gain, but I will cope. He said not to worry about it, I am back into the working out regiment and feeling a lot better. In one more day, I am officially in the proclaimed "best trimester" of pregnancy. Hooray, and in a "short" six weeks we get to find out if we will have a little Wyatt or Kennedy! (According to Andrew it is a girl and her name is Samantha, we will see who wins out.) So now begins another countdown... Anyone have any guesses ?

Well , there have been some looking for posts of my growing belly.... (MEGAN and RACHE)... Secretly I think all girls like to see others get chubby.... But I know that is not the case... RIGHT ? ! Just kidding you guys love you all, here is 10 weeks and almost 13... The little shrimp is wasting no time adding to my waist line... sigh


13 weeks

10 weeks, so you can see the progress..

Delays....

Okay, so there may be one more reason I haven't posted... I have been busting at the seams trying not to tell my news to the world! But today I had my first ultrasound and everything is on track and I have a healthy 10 week old shrimp in me... I know this video is not as exciting to anyone else as it is to me but, hey have a look inside my uterus!

I know, I know...

Well, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I have just been a little busy and preoccupied. Well updates, Christmas was excellent. Andrew and I were able to both get work off and head back to Ohio to see both sides of our family. It felt like we spent forever traveling but it was well worth it. We spent Christmas day with my family and then we went down to Cinncinati and celebrated with his family. It was so good to see everyone, I even had a chance to have a girls day out with my Mom and Megs and we got to meet up with Rae Mae... Classic.

Andrew and I decided to celebrate Christmas here in Idaho, due to the fact that the airlines now screw you over and we couldn't bring luggage unless we wanted to be charged an arm and a leg, plus Andrew's gift wouldn't fit in my carry-on! We had a get together with our very close friends the Downer's. For Andrew I took our third bedroom and turned it into a proper office for Andrew. I got an amazing deal on a nice desk and I bought an old love seat for 25 bucks which I re-upholstered and the whole thing came together flawlessly... I bought him accessories he would need like chair, paper shredder, etc... It was fun, because he had no idea. The big part of his present was a new laptop to go in his new office! As always Andy spoiled me rotten, he got two diamond bands put onto my wedding ring and I love it, he got me lots of little things but that was my big present and it is so pretty!
The morning after our small Christmas we headed down to Utah with Trevor, Collette and Teagen. We got plenty of shopping in, the boys played a bit and we were all able to got see the lights on Temple Square...
Enjoy!

oops

Ummm, so Andrew and I went out with my girlfriend Collete who caught some awesome shots of us... Andrew is a crazy stunt man. I thought i would get on and show off my mad skills. Only to get down the road and get my pant leg caught on a peg. I laid down a bike for my first time ever... Granted I am okay, but my leg is pretty darn sore and bruised. On the bright side Collette was there to catch the whole embarrassing incident on film!




Yeah, how hot is that ghetto jacket?







Inspecting the damage...
