relief.

so yesterday i was like having anxiety attacks about announcing my pregnancy.. but today all i feel is relief. i feel like there's a huge weight off my shoulders. i wonder why it feels so different to announce pregnancies than it is to announce engagements or marriages?? it just feels so much more sacred. that's probably it. announcing over the internet just felt so informal. i think that's why i was so nervous. but anyway.. its out. i'm expecting. and i'm more excited than ever!

i had a doctors appointment this morning. and andrew and i heard the heart beat of our little baby. (emphasis on the little) i guess this week the baby is about the size of a lemon. and i've only gained 4 pounds in the last month and i feel like i've gained FIFTY. my waist line is basically gone.. but i'm not really showing yet. it is just so strange. but we get to find out the sex at our next appointment so we are really excited!!! i've been feeling the last few weeks that it's a boy, but the last few days i've been referring to the baby as a girl. so i really just don't know at this point! i would love either one.. i'm just really excited to find out!!! :)

  2. Just read your news!! SOO exciting!!! In your last post when you said it doesnt really feel like your belly=a baby... i still feel like i just got a big ol belly and then there was a baby... haha. Its all a little surreal. AND AWESOME. But when you feel that baby move- i started to at just 18 weeks so prob soon!- its like heaven on earth. I threw up every day for all but 5 weeks of my pregnancy so I feel for ya. Nothing sucks more than acid in your throat at night when you want to sleep. I ate a box of saltines like weekly. Sorry for the long post but I am just soooo excited for you!!! I worked in an OBGYN office for 4 years before I had lolli and I am still amazed every time I hear someone is having a baby- its the most thrilling/crazy experience ever. Good luck and I am hear if you wanna talk!
