New Apartment :)

We moved into a new apartment this weekend, and boy am I in love with it! It is absolute perfection compared to our other apartment.

I am though, very grateful that the move is over. I underestimated how exhausted I would feel with this move. Pregnancy, even this early on, takes such a toll on the body! So I am very happy that it happened while I was 3 months instead of me being further along. :) I can only imagine how much more tiresome it would have been should it have been later.

My energy is starting to pick back up on the other hand, and it feels amazing to kind of feel physically back to normal :), although I wouldn't trade any of these symptoms for the world. It is still so amazing to know that I am carrying life inside of me.

I will post pics of our new place as soon as possible. There are still a lot of boxes left to unpack.

Thanks for tuning in :).

First Ultrasound Appointment.

We had our first ultrasound appointment Wednesday morning, and I can say that I never imagined how beautiful this experience would be. Hearing the heartbeat and seeing our little one and how far our baby has grown brought tears to mine and my husband's eyes. ♥

Our due date is December 30th, 2012 and tomorrow I will be 9  weeks. I am so blessed by our little guy/girl!

So far this is what I have been feeling/going through:

• Breast tenderness
• Super emotional! (poor Husband).
• Fatigue
• Bloating
• Veins beginning to show in my breasts and my tummy.
• Slight darkening of the aureola.
• Food aversions

I'm starting to crave only fresh, healthy foods. Carrots and ranch are becoming my favorite snack. That and fruit :).

Weird changes that I have experienced:

• I hate peanut butter for some weird reason. I used to like it but now the thought of it grosses me out and I don't want to even smell it.
• I love mozzarella sticks and was craving them really badly, so husband went out to buy them for me. I opened the bag and just the smell of the breading made me want to through up. I couldn't even eat them.
• If I eat too much tortillas in a short period of time I get really grossed out and then don't want Mexican food for like a week.

All in all this has been one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had in life. I can't wait to feel our baby and start showing. I already love him or her with all my heart and I just want to do everything in my power to create for it the best home possible over the next 31 weeks. I want to create the best of everything for him/her. And I am so blessed that our baby will be born into a loving home and a loving marriage.

Till next time :)

Love you our little one.

Love,

Mommy and Daddy. ♥
 

Two Little Blue Lines...

You got it right! Husband and are are expecting our first little one! And we are so excited. We are estimating that I am 8 weeks along by now, but our first Dr.'s appoint is finally tomorrow! It has been the longest 3 1/2 week wait of our lives!

So far the symptoms are:

• Morning sickness.
• Fatigue.
• Heightened sense of smell.
• Breast tenderness and growth.
• Bloating.
• Did I mention fatigue??

I am already wanting to stay home and constantly clean and just start a lot of baby DIY projects. The constant fatigue and nausea also does not help in the aid of wanting to stay home. It is a lot harder to get up in the mornings, and all I want to do is sleep. 

I randomly get emotional, which also makes my job just a little bit harder. Rude members do not seem to help! 

We are getting ready to move into a new apartment at the end of the month, and I hope we have enough time and I hope I have enough energy to do it!

I am already thinking off all the great changes that are ahead! Starting with my body. I wonder what baby movement will feel like :) I hope that tomorrow we can hear the heartbeat! 

I am just so ready to have my baby! And so paranoid on wanting to know if it is healthy and how far along I am. 

Well, time to go enjoy the rest of my first of many Mother's Day :).
