Something new...

We don't really have anything new or exciting going on besides the baby news so that's probably what everyone will be reading about for the next little while until something new and exciting comes along...even though having a baby growing inside of me is pretty dang exciting..let me tell you! :)

So i've started to experience round ligament pain and holy schmoly am i dying when it happens. It freaked me out at first because I felt really tight and crampy in the abdomen area and i had slight bleeding...but our worries were gone as soon as we went to the doctor's and got to hear our baby's really fast heartbeat. We were a little nervous at first because the doctor couldn't seem to find any heartbeat but mine, but then our doctor said that he had found it and that the baby must not like the doppler because he/she kept kicking it away when he would hear the fast thudding heartbeat. He also told us that we have quite an active baby! :)

It was so precious. Made us pretty much smile from ear to ear.

I think that i've started to feel little kicks here and there. It's pretty exciting and new so i'm not quite sure if i know what i'm feeling but the doctor said i may be feeling it already. I'M SO EXCITED!!! At least to be able to feel the kicks but maybe not so much to have a baby who is super active and may be active at night...we'll see. I just want our baby to be healthy.

School is getting really tough right now. The end of the quarter is coming up quickly and with being sick and laying in bed doing only minimal homework, i'm behind. I honestly thought that being pregnant and going to school would be just fine...however, I was wrong! In most of my classes I do just fine but in the ones where I have a lot of memorizing and such...it seems absolutely impossible. I'll make it through though. I have been at the library every night for the past few weeks.

This brings me to say that I have an absolutely amazing husband who is so patient and helpful. He has been working overtime and bringing home extra work to help keep him busy and to help pay down bills before the baby comes. I'm so very grateful for him and all that he does for me. LOVE YOU HONEY!!! :)

The end.

Complaints of Pregnancy

AH!! I feel like I'm going crazy. I never thought that going to school and being pregnant would be so hard. It's so hard to concentrate and I'm not getting good sleep anymore. I didn't think that would start until way later in the pregnancy but it already has. Booo! I really hate complaining so much but I just feel so uncomfortable, tired, nautious, bloated, etc. The list could go on and on.

I feel like I need a vacation where there are palm trees, warmish blue water, and beautiful sunshine! Warm sunshine at that.

On a better note...

I freakin have the best husband in the world. It amazes me how much he can handle with me being prego and all. Last night he had a meeting at church and on his way home guess what he got me... Jamba Juice just because he loves me. He had even gone to 7-Eleven but knew that I would want Jamba more.

I can't thank my Heavenly Father enough for giving me such an awesome husband and a new little baby growing inside of me!

I LOVE IT ALL!! :)

The Baby Story...How our baby came along! :)

So we are pregnant..finally! and this is the story.

We were getting really down because it seemed like every one of our friends was pregnant or already had a baby and we were babyless. When I finished my Fall Quarter in December, I told Ryan that this was going to be the month...he thought I was crazy. Before December, when we had been doing all the infertility treatments, pills, labs, etc, we hadn't felt very optimitic about things so I figured, hey, maybe if we're optimistic and I keep telling myself everyday that it'll happen, it just might! I had started to feel really strange and have "pregnancy symptoms" but didn't believe that we were really pregnant and we waited until I missed my period. On Christmas Day night, I took the first pregnancy test and it was positive. We were excited but didn't want to get too excited because we had had a false positive the month before. So we waited another week and I took another test. It was positive again. I called the Drs office to tell them the news and to ask if we could do a pregnancy blood test just to be positive. And of course it was.

I am now 11 weeks almost 12 weeks and can't wait for the nautiousness to go away..HOPEFULLY.. and to not keep getting these crazy migraines anymore. It's all been worth it and I couldn't ask for anything more in my life. I feel complete and so happy! I have a wonderful husband who supports me and gives me things I want when really he probably shouldn't, and I have a house, a car, and now...a baby on the way. I thought it would never happen and it still seems sort of surreal I guess you could say to think I have a little baby growing inside of me. I'm so ecstatic though too!!

So anyway, that's our baby story thus far. The doctor says everything looks fine and the baby's heartbeat is strong and the length is good. We're off to a good start.

And P.S.
 Hurray to becoming a blogger family!
