Here Come The Baby Posts

And there it is. We're having a baby in September and we are SO excited!!! 

It was kind of on a whim that I decided to take a pregnancy test, and such a surprise when I saw the result! I decided to take it because I was feeling really sick that morning and threw up for no apparent reason.  I couldn't even keep down ginger ale and saltines. Ty said that he just had a feeling that day that I was pregnant which now I feel like is the coolest thing that he had that kind of instinct. So i took it while Ty was at work because I couldn't wait and...

ta-da! So many tears of joy! We have both been feeling really baby hungry lately and I was just so excited that it was finally happening! I wish I would've thought of a more creative way to tell Ty, but it is what it is. Maybe next time i'll do something awesome ;)

The first trimester was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I mostly just had heartburn and was super tired all the time. I spent most of the time second guessing if I was really pregnant or not because I just didn't feel very different. It was so fun to go to the doctor for the first time and actually see our little baby! A little bit later in the trimester I started to feel super emotional all the time which was so strange. One time we were at the grocery store and I just started crying while we were walking around. Ty stopped and hugged me and I'm sure was freaked out, because the next minute I was laughing because I thought it was funny that I was crying for no reason. So weird. Every movie we saw made me cry, even episodes of The Office that I've seen a million times made me cry.

I felt the baby kick for the first time around 18 weeks. It was weird and I wasn't even sure that what I was feeling was the baby, but when we went to the doctor again I saw the baby move on the ultrasound and felt it at the same time so I knew for sure I was feeling the baby! So fun. On may 5th I was 19 weeks and we got to go find out the gender of our little mexicarter.

It's a BOY! 

We are so excited!

and this is the first of probably many embarrassing pictures that I will post of him. I can't wait!

I'm currently 23 weeks. Little man kicks me all day long, sometimes so much it makes me nauseous. He's most active at night around 9. I love feeling him move around, and recently Ty has been able to feel him move too which is so fun! 

I feel so blessed that I've felt so well during the pregnancy, and hope that things stay this way. We can't wait to meet our little guy!
