Babies are coming from everywhere!

Sooo not only am I pregnant, but my friends Rachelle and Robin are both due a month and half before I am, Christina is due on the exact same day as me, and I just found out my friend Brenda is also pregnant and due August 9th! We've known eachother since Middle School and it's so exciting that there are so many of us that can share this experience! I seem to be texting Rachelle everyday asking her questions.. she is pregnant with her second child so she has been giving me lots of advice. :)

I also was talking to my friend Ashly on the way to work this morning and her birthday is July 30th! The same day as my little baby! My noni's (that would be my grandma) birthday is July 23rd and Macy Jo's is July 13th! So Many July birthdays in my life! ahaha

So I LOVE surveys..

How far along? 12 weeks 5 days. I mark my new weeks every Friday!

Weight gain/loss: gained 1.4 pounds... and so it begins.

Maternity clothes? None yet! But I am excited to get some cute flowy maternity tops for Spring and Summer!

Stretch marks? None of those yet either! Bella B Tummy Honey Stretchmark
Prevention Butter already on the way!

Sleep? LOTS OF IT. In the early evenings and not enough in the late night. 1-2:30 is when I am the LEAST tired.

Morning sickness? Will it ever end?! Morning sickness, Afternoon sickness, Evening sickness.. and yes Late Night sickness... aaarrrrggghhh.

Best moment this week? Waking up on the couch with the love of my life rubbing my little belly... excitedly telling me how he can feel the baby. :)

Movement: I have seen it move a lot in the ultrasounds, but not felt anything just yet.. they say about 20 weeks..

Food cravings: Nothing really yet, I do like salty things... But basically I eat what I can, when I can.. and hope that I don't have to see it again.

Gender: I really really really feel that it is a boy! I just know it!

Labor signs? uumm.. NO

Belly button in or out? Still in! I will push it in as long as I can...

What I miss? Sushi and Shrimp. The absolute most. I dream about shrimp fajitas.

What I am looking forward to? Finding out the gender on March 10th!!

Weekly wisdom: Invest in a massage... they're priceless.

Milestones: Made it into the second trimester with a healthy growing baby!

The Life of Blogging.. and Baby Cribs!

So last night I showed A.C. this blog that I have created for the both of us. He actually really liked it and was laughing at how ridiculous my post was. Hahaha. He is excited about writing something on here.. he is pretty witty and very funny so just wait for his posts. I'm sure they will keep you entertained.

I found the crib I want! I really like this one and it just happens to be on sale at Pottery Barn Kids! Although the price is still somewhat high, it is by far my favorite of all the cribs I have seen. :) And the crib needs to be good quality... we don't want it to fall apart or anything.

I ♥ white. I have a feeling all of the furniture will be white. And I am almost positive the bedding will have a monkey on it somewhere (A.C. swears that our baby at 8 weeks 4 days very much resembles a little monkey...) Haha! And probably anything that he can find with a Tiger on it will most definitely end up in the baby's room.

Oh I can't wait to start shopping for all of the baby stuff! I can't wait for March 10th so we can see our baby again! :)

Blog Ya Later! BAHahaha

First time for everything... :)

Hello Friends! This is the first time I have ever attempted to blog! :) A.C. and I wanted.. ok so I actually wanted to create a place for me to update and post pictures for our family and close friends since soooo much is happening and changing in our lives! A.C. is very much a part of this blog even though he has not seen it yet. :) I have kept our blog private so A.C. and I have to actually invite you to see it! As always with the Internet, the more privacy the better.

Okay so now for the good stuff! I am having a baaaaaabbbbyyyy! I thought I had the flu, but it was actually our baby just letting me know he was making himself comfortable inside my uterus.

I had my first appointment at 8 weeks 4 days where A.C. and I both got to see our baby for the first time! It was absolutely amazing and we're ecstatic!

My next appointment was a group appointment where I learned about all of the screening they do for the baby, the prenatal appointment schedule, prenatal classes information, and filled out tons... and TONS of paperwork.

This last Friday, January 22nd, I had another appointment where I was able to see the baby yet again! Not only was I able to see this, but A.C. and my sister did too! Yes we all crammed into the little room at Kaisar. :) Auntie Missy did NOT want to miss it! We saw his head, his feet and toes, his fingers! He was VERY active. Flipping all over the place! We also saw his heartbeat beating so fast! It was amazing. At 12 weeks you can already his little face! Can you believe it!?

I say "he" because we really think it's a boy. Well, my mom and Missy insist it is a girl.. A.C., my dad, Macy Jo and myself are absolutely SURE it is a boy! :)

Oh I have so much to tell you all!

My next appointment is February 26th and the official ultrasound is scheduled for March 10th. That is when we will find out if we are having a boy or a girl! So exciting!! I will keep you all posted...

My friend Christina is due the exact same day as me, which is July 30, 2010 by the way! And if we both have girls/boys they will be best friends and if Christina's really is a boy and mine really is a girl (visa-versa) then they will date and get married! Bahahah :)

Okay I will post again soon! Yay for Little Baby Branco!!
