8 weeks and counting




I'm PREGNANT! We found out we are going to have a baby the week before thanksgiving and we decided we weren't going to tell our families until Thanksgiving! It was so hard to not tell my mom, and everytime I talked to her on the phone I had to quickly hang up so I wouldn't let the secret out. My mom, dad and Lacie came down to mesa for thanksgiving so we decided to tell them when they got here the night before. I made a big dinner for them and invited my siblings over for dessert to tell them too. We made shirts that had both our baby pictures on them with the words "is it a boy?" on Scotts and "is it a girl?" on mine. The anticipation was killing me and I couldn't wait until they arrived. Lacie walked in first and just kind of looked at me like why are you wearing that, but when my mom saw it she got it right away and couldn't believe it! We weren't planning on having a little one for about 2 years but SUPRISE! I have been extremely sick and whoever called it morning sickness was lucky thats all they had. I haven't been able to keep anything down for about 3 weeks now and Scott has been so good and supportive when I just cry because thats all I can do! I am now 8 1/2 weeks and I am hoping that by week 12 or 14 I will begin to feel better. I have had a few scares with bleeding but luckily the little baby is still there and it has a healthy heart beat! I have had 3 ultrasounds already just to make sure everything is okay and my doctor has been so awesome! At my last appointment which was last Friday I was so nervous as she got ready to do the ultra sound because I just knew that I no longer had a baby because of all my bleeding. I had cried and cried the whole night before and I didn't know what I would do if my baby was gone. When she found the baby and the heart beat I was so excited and felt so blessed! I gave the ultra sound lady a huge hug just from reaction and she was so nice and hugged me back instead of calling me crazy or weird or something! I was just so happy to see the little gummy bear and its heart beat! Anyways, Scott and I are both so excited to be parents and start our family together! Here is a picture of our gummy bear, me at 8 weeks and the shirts we made! Enjoy!!
