So I am 27 weeks pregnant now and I am getting so excited~ We are working hard getting the nursery ready and slowing gathering a few things we may need.. ;) I am really hoping these next 12 and a half weeks go fast. We still have lots to do to be totally ready for our little one but I can't wait to meet him or her. I am very excited to say that we have finally decided on names! After much debate ( mostly on my part) we ( I) settled on a boy and a girls name! However...we are keeping these names secret. You will all find out what we are having and what their name is after the big arrival in October! Yeah! I love surprises, I hope you all do too! :)
Overall I don't know if I can say I have loved pregnancy, I have never been so tired in all my life and I could have seriously done without the sickness but right now I love feeling the movement. It is so crazy to look down and see my stomach move! It is so crazy!! In fact the computer is bumping as we speak LOL! I am happy to be on this journey and I can't wait until I get to enter the world of motherhood full throttle~!
Just keep swimming my friends!

22 weeks!
So wow, it has been like forever since my last post! I am now 22 weeks pregnant and getting bigger everyday. I have batttled morning sickness, virtigo, the headaches, swollen feet and hands and now the backaches but it is all so worth it everytime I feel that little wiggle in my tummy. It is so exciting to now feel the baby move!
Unfortunalty there is not much to update right now, I had my middle ultrasound when I was 19 weeks and we managed to not find out what it is we are having. So we will all have to hold on and wait around 18 more weeks till the big debut~ There is a lot of talk, so far thoughts of boys have won out amongst friends and family but there are a few girl wishers left in there too. I like hearing from people what they think I am having. Bryan says boy for sure and I have gone back and forth. I do think I picture the baby as a boy more than a do a girl but I like to try and think about the possibility of both :)
So I will try and keep everyone posted on my progress for the duration of my pregnancy and we will see if I can keep up on this blog after the arrival! So excited it's coming closer!

10 +
So I am 10 and a half weeks and every check up has gone absolutly perfect. My little girl/ guy is growing like a weed and that is actually becoming the scource of my pain. Aparently the baby is at the point where he/she doesn't really fit in my pelvis anymore but hasn't quite moved up to my abdomen, which is why I have been having so much cramping. At my ultrasound today they said that it really looked great, he/she is moving around like crazy doing kicks and rubbing his/her eyes. It was amazing to see, and it was a huge relief. Unfortuanlty it wasn't all good news, the baby itself is fine and that is good but the placenta is in a really bad position. It's called Praevia. It takes place when the placenta is directly over the birth canal, right now this really doesn't mean anything but later on in the pregnancy if it doesn't move it means that It could cause a lot of bleeding and a lot of problems if I tried to deliver vaginally. So we are going to keep a close eye on it throughout the pregnancy and if necessary we will schedule a c-section ahead of time as to not risk any un needed complications at delivery time.
I am relieved to know that my precious little baby is growing and developing so perfectly! He/she is only about two inches long but has the most precious little arms and legs and you could see ears and hips and....oh it was amazing! God is protecting us! I am so happy about it!

2 months
Well here I am 8 weeks along and things are going great. My doctor has me coming in every two weeks for an ultrasound to continue to watch my progress. He is continually using the word " perfect". I couldn't ask for a better word to hear! At my last US I was 7 weeks and we got the wonderful chance to see the perfect little flutter of a heart beat. At first I felt like Rachael on Friends not having any clue what I was looking at but then I saw it. It was so great. It was just a little flutter but it was perfect! It is my baby! I go in again on the 11th which will put me just shy of 9 weeks. I am so excited to see the heartbeat again. It should be even clearer this time too!
I am trying to read about my baby as much as I can. Last week I refered to my baby as our little blueberry and now we have a cute little rasberry! He/She is so tiny and so fragile. I am so in love!
I am so tired all the time and Bryan has been nothing short of amazing! I am anxious to get some of my energy back and getting a little more productive. We are keeping ourselves busy deciding what to do with the nursery and thinking about the ever so important job of naming this little one! What pressure! LOL
I am already anxious to meet our precious bundle of joy, I just know it's going to be a very long 7 months! But I want to enjoy every minute!

Almost 6 weeks
So it has been brought to my attention that I haven't posted since I have f0und out that we were expecting. So here it goes....
I am almost 6 weeks along and things are going great! I was expirencing some pains so I went into the doctor and he wanted to do an ultrasound. At just over 4 weeks I had my first ultrasound.They were slightly concerned of an eptopic pregnancy but so far everything was pointing to a no. They had me come back in 4 days later because they were unable to see everything they wanted. So that monday I went back and they did another ultrasound. This time they were able to see the gestational sac in my uterus. This was terrific news! They were also able to see what they called the fetal pole, which is basically the begining signs of our baby! So far he/she is about a milimeter long. So tiny and so perfect! We couldn't be happier! The Doctor also mentioned that he was pretty sure he saw a flicker of a heartbeat but not enough to prove it to us. So we get to go back on the 26th to try and see the heartbeat for ourselves! We are so blessed to have this chance! It has been such a long road and I just couldn't be any happier! Thank you for your prayers, keep it up we have a long 7 1/2 months to go!

WOW!!!
Holy Cow! It worked, it actually worked! I am Pregnant! I am actually pregnant! I am 5 weeks along ( and though I have not actually been to the doctor yet I know when the conception took place so I do know pretty much my due date) :) So mark your calendars my friends on or around October 15th 2010 Bryan and I will become parents! This has been an if for so long and a struggle for 3 years that I can't believe it's here! I am just so happy! God is so good!
I really want to thank everyone for praying for me and thinking of me and lifting me up through this time. It's been so hard but I have said all along it would be worth it and just knowing there is this perfect little life inside of me ( the size of an orange seed to be exact) It really is worth it!
I don't know if I could be any happier right now but I have to tell you I am missing my mom something awful. No matter who I tell I feel like I am missing out on getting to share this with her. I love my family and they have been unbelievable but no one can do what she can for me
I know she knows though and she has already kissed this precious little baby and sent him/her down to me on earth but It's harder thought it would be. Still I know she would want me to enjoy every second of this so I will!
Katie and I get to be pregnant together! This could get interesting but she is such great support to me. It's what I have always wanted. And our kids will be really close together! Like within two months of each other.
Thanks again my friends! I am so happy!

Tomorrow is the big day!
So today is day 31 of my cycle. This means that according to my good doctor my aunt flow should have shown up around day 28! Still no signs of her very unwanted visit so tomorrow I go in for my blood test! My hope is to get it done early enough in the day where I can find out the results tomorrow as well. From what Dr. Bachus said there is no reason for my period not to show other than me being preggo! I had to question him on this because well my period is never on time and is never normal but aparently if you ovulate it always shows up the next month! Who knew? LOL
So I am feeling good today, nervous, anxious, excited ( trying to not be too excited) So many emotions going through me right now it's crazy! This really could be the month!
Our plan however is that if we get the call tomorrow giving us good news we are not going to tell anyone else until we get the change to formally tell our famlies! So if you call one of us monday night or ask on facebook we won't answer! Sorry, but I will post on Tuesday as early as I can to let everyone who has been praying for us know how it goes!
Keep praying!
