9 Weeks

How far along?  9 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: None so far. I've actually lost weight from being sick all of the time. :-(

Maternity clothes? Nope
Stretch marks? Lets hope those just don't happen. lol
Best moment this week: Being able to go an entire day without throwing my guts up! lol

Miss Anything? My get-up-and-go. All I want to do is sleep.
Movement: Not quite there yet!

 Food cravings: Salty stuff... olives and pickles primarily. I also get burning desires for frozen yogurt. lol
Anything making you queasy or sick: Coffee is by far the worst (which makes me incredibly sad because it's my absolute favorite). For the most part, it's not just one thing (aside from coffee)...it's EVERYTHING.
Have you started to show yet: Nope, not yet. I think I'm more bloated than anything else.

Gender: Don't know yet!
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? In
Happy or Moody most of the time: Well, I'm definitely a moody one right now. Poor Joshua keeps saying, "You have cried every single day! This pregnancy thing has made you such a girl!" haha!
Looking forward to: Getting everything in order for the big move and getting finals out of the way. The less stress, the better! Starting a new job and moving out of my hometown is definitely not helping my whole "moodiness" issues!

Ok guys, sorry for the poor quality of the picture. I definitely had to stack things and stick my iphone on top of them to get this one. I'll be getting a chalkboard soon so I can better document Babykins' growth, and I promise the quality will be better next time too!

We're Prego!!!

That is right folks, we are going to have our first baby and I am SO excited! After getting over the initial "this wasn't planned" shock and "what the heck are we going to do?" feelings, we are feeling excited, anxious, and seriously unprepared. Joshua was in Illinois when I found out. I realized I hadn't had a period in a really long time at around 12:30am one night while I was on the phone with him and started freaking out -- just a little (understatement of the year). I drove to the store at almost one in the morning and bought two pregnancy tests...both of which were positive.

I had my first doctor's appointment today (2 weeks after taking those tests) and found out that I am 8 weeks! My due date is officially July 3, 2013! They did an ultrasound and I got to see the baby's heart beating on the screen which is one of the craziest, most amazing things I have ever experienced! Joshua couldn't come with me to this appointment because of work, but I sent him a text picture of our little bean and he was shocked! He had no clue the baby would be anything more than a little speck, but here it was almost looking like an itty bitty human! I told him I got to hear its heartbeat and he couldn't believe that either! It's so crazy to think that we are going to be parents!

My best friend, Janna, has dubbed our little miracle "Babykins" so that is what he/she shall be called until Joshua and I pick a name! I will start posting pictures as soon as possible and let you know my weekly progress. I've found a lot of fantastic ideas on Pinterest and you can bet I will be using them! I decided this blog would be the best way to keep everyone updated about my progress and to let you all experience this with me!
