First trimester was ____ (you fill in the blank)


Here is the latest picture of our little bug. This was taken at 12 weeks and the baby was moving all over the place. Such a relief when you can see how they are doing in there.
So here is the scoop...
At 5 1/2 weeks I finally got brave and took "The Test". After 3 minutes, my heart was racing and I didn't know if I could look. (Keep in mind, my body totally let me know that I was pregnant I swear the moment it happened, everything just felt different.) So in my heart I knew, but couldn't bare it if that test said "no." With one eye closed, I peeked..... 2 lines equals POSITIVE. I started crying and thanking my Heavenly Father immediately!
Then I was in planning mode. How was I going to tell Lee?!?!?! I went to the party store and bought pink and blue balloons and covered our bed with them with a simple note.
I closed our bedroom door so that Lee wouldn't see until he went in. So, he gets home from work and he sits in the living room with me for 45 minutes while I make antsy small talk. "Go in the bedroom like you always do when you get home!!!" is what I was screaming in my head. Finally he did..... my heart again began to pound. He came out with a big smile and asked, "Are you pregnant?!?!" Ha ha ha.....

This was taken later that night.
Over the next month we had a lot of stress, but we are pretty sure we have a little fighter coming to our family. I am also glad to report that I am finally a happy mommy to be!
Now here I am 14 weeks along and doing great. I know other woman that have been really sick and I can't really complain. Don't get me wrong, I've had my shares of visits to the inside of the toilet, but I had other things to worry about. I am now on a once a month visit to my Doctor and I am very happy about that. We hope to find out the gender in February and are busy coming up with fun ideas for the nursery. Bring on the new adventure!

Wow! That's cute. I just ended up showing Alber the stick. Oh and I didn't believe the first one so I took 4 more (and still had my doubts until I went to the doctor)
