Our Pregnancy Progression

So we probably should have been posting this whole time, but work and life obviously get in the way.  I'll sum up the first 20 weeks briefly!  The first weeks were incredibly exciting.  Hoping for two pink lines on a pregnancy test and getting them was very emotional for both of us.  We couldn't wait to tell our parents but decided to wait until our 12 week ultrasound to share the news with the rest of the friends we were able to keep the secret from until then!  Everyone is overjoyed for a new little baby in the family. 

As far as morning sickness goes, I was very surprised at the symptoms I experienced.  I had guaranteed myself I was going to be one of those women who was sicker than a dog every single day at every waking moment.  To my surprise, I really was only sick first thing in the morning when I woke up or if I let myself get too hungry at any point in the day.  At this point I am feeling great, though if I let myself get too hungry still, the nausea kicks in sometimes!

Here are some photos of my progression from 4 weeks when we found out we were pregnant to now:

Catching Up in 2012

Where to even begin on our first blog entry! The beginning of the year was full of finalizing wedding plans, bridal shower, bachelor and bachelorette parties and impending nerves for the big day! March 17th came and went full of joy and a lot of fun as we celebrated our marriage with our wonderful family and friends! Our honeymoon to Catalina and Disneyland was so relaxing and fun! Nothing like a week away from it all to make you never want to go back! 

So while most newly married couples are enjoying their honeymoon phase as newlyweds...we are expecting our first child in December!! Yes, if you do the math it equates to a honeymoon baby give or take a few days but that is just how we planned it! We are over the moon excited to become parents and are thoroughly enjoying pregnancy and learning about our how our little one is developing! Within the next two weeks we hope to find out what the sex of the baby is so stay tuned!
