10 weeks along!

I am currently 10 weeks into the pregnancy and things are going well. Everyone has been asking all the typical questions, how are you feeling, are you craving anything yet, when are you going to start showing, do you want a boy or girl and so on, so I thought I would fill you in on all of that! So, first- thankfully I have not had much sickness at all. There has only been a handful of times where I have physically gotten sick! Feeling nauseated on the other hand is a different story! But I really can't complain because I have heard some stories of people getting sick three and four times a day! Just the thought of some things can make me gag! My worst pregnancy symptom  has been the tiredness, I am just wiped out all the time! By the time I get home from work all I can think about it eating dinner and then laying on the couch! Nick has been more than gracious to me these past few weeks by doing basically all of the house work, laundry and cooking. I feel bad not doing much but am so thankful that he has stepped in to let me rest! I am definitely ready to regain some of my energy!

Second- I am not craving anything yet! I'm sure I will though! The food that I am missing the most is my daily turkey sandwich! Since you can't eat lunch meat while being pregnant I am having to get creative with packing my lunches for work! My go to and love is a turkey sandwich, so I am really missing that! But its okay because I know the day will return when I can have it again! I am also trying really hard not to drink soda and I have to admit there are times when I would really love to have one! The other day I went to Chickfilla for lunch and discovered they had a caffeine free diet Coke. I ordered it and goodness something has never tasted so good! Normally it would be gross but with not having soda in so long it was purely wonderful!

Third- at ten weeks our little nugget as Nick has called it is only the size of a prune! So it will probably be a while until there is any baby bump! I feel a little bigger but to you I will still look the same!

Fourth- Boy or Girl? Well we have no preference really! A healthy little baby is all I need! For some reason though I am thinking boy! But we will find out around the 20 week mark!

Nick and I went to the doctor at 8 weeks and got to see the baby and listen to the heart beat! What an incredible experience! Seeing the baby makes it so much more real since there is no baby bump yet. It was an emotional experience and one that I will never forget! We even saw the baby move while debuting itself on the screen!!

Here are some of the ultrasound photos and please forgive the bad quality but since we don't have a scanner I took a photo of it with my camera! Any way below is also a photo of my growing belly at 10 weeks along!

Oh Baby!

Oh baby oh baby! Nick and I are having a baby! We couldn't be more excited about our starting a family! If you know me at all you know how intrigued I am by pregnancy! I think it is the most incredible thing and I always love seeing baby bumps! I always knew this day would come and I have always looked forward to being pregnant and being a mom, however this news came with a lot of surprise, tears and laughter for us on a casual afternoon! We were definitely surprised to learn our family was expanding but are beyond excited! We found out when I was about 6 weeks along! Our due date is April 24! We are so excited to share this journey with you and hope you will be too! Here are some photos from the day we found out we were expecting!

We wanted to capture the moment, this is right after we saw the test said "pregnant". I had just gotten home from work and hadn't even changed out of my scrubs yet! I told Nick I wanted to change before we took any photos but he insisted I not, so that we could remember just what it was like that afternoon! 

I still can't believe it sometimes! Seeing that pop up was such a crazy feeling! 

This is to compare what I will look like at the end! Here I am 6 weeks along!

I look forward to updating a lot more often!
