How are you feeling? 09/11/2009
Our first ultrasound - 5 weeks, The baby is that little dot towards the bottom left of the black circle. I know it doesnt look very exciting but when its your 'dot' and that 'dot' is in the right place - it is VERY exciting!!!
The second ultrasound - 9 weeks. Can you believe how much he grew???
The most popular question I have been getting from everyone is “How are you feeling”? Well let me explain the past couple of months for you.
The first thing I noticed was how emotionally up and down I was. The first “break down” I had was in Branson. I was helping my Dad cook dinner and I was in charge of the fettuccine alfredo. I was filling up a pan with water and he tells me – “Your putting to much water in there”. And I had to go into another room because I was bawling and I just COULDN’T stop!!!! It was so weird. Those still happen every once in a while. Like today. This little old lady came in to Sams and was describing an issue with her membership – and was telling me her husband had just passed away in July. I had to ask her to hold on because I felt the tears coming and there was no stopping em!!! It just made me so sad that she was all alone and she was so precious.
Then I started getting nauseous. But thankfully no throwing up! I just felt nauseous the majority of the day and didn’t hardly ever want to eat. I actually lost a few pounds. This “phase” lasted about 3 – 4 weeks and finally stopped at about 9 weeks.
Lately I have just been very “empty” feeling. Like not soon after I eat my stomach is already growling! It drives me crazy. I feel like I need to be eating all day. And if I don’t keep food and drink in my stomach I feel very faint and get really hot.
ALSO lately my nose has been crazy sensitive. Ill smell something and Justin will be like “What? I don’t smell anything!”. And last night Justin made tacos and I couldn’t hardly stay inside. I almost threw up and while I was in the apartment I had a towel over my nose. It smelled horrible to me. We had to open all the windows to get the smell out.
Oh and I pee ALL the time. I was under the impression that this didn’t happen till 6 months or later – when the baby was big. Apparently not.
And Ive had a little heartburn but nothing a couple of Tums cant handle! (Again – something I expected to happen WAY later).
So thats the latest! Thanks for askin! We have our next checkup (with a doctor that we LOVE) next Tuesday – the 15th. I will be 13 weeks. I am very anxious to see how much the baby has grown and to hear the heartbeat again.
Please pray that we have a healthy baby and that this pregnancy goes smoothly!

We have some exciting news!!! 09/07/2009
We are pregnant!!!!! As of tomorrow I will be 12 weeks! Almost done with my first trimester! We are VERY excited!!!!!
Justin and I found out on Thursday, July 16. We were scheduled to leave for Branson that night. I woke up super early (6:30 am) because I was so excited about our trip. I have always heard the best time to take a pregnancy test is in the morning. Well – we had been trying for two months so I thought – Ill take one just to make sure Im not pregnant so I can have some good wine this weekend. Well the test turned positive instantly. At this point Justin was still half asleep. So I took the test over to him and just said “Look”. I started freaking out and I was like – I really think the test is wrong because it turned positive instantly – so I must have done something wrong. Justin assured me that wasn’t the case.
But somehow I had to pee again so I took another one. But this time I did the sticking the test in the cup thing. Well – instantly positive again!!!! But then I figured it was wrong again because I reread the instructions and I had stuck it in there too long. So lots of emotions that morning! And Justin had to go to class all day and do a presentation!!
So while he was at school I took a THIRD test. Positive again. So I figured it was official. And it was! All three times!
Below are some reactions we got when we gave the news!! We HATED having to tell Lou Ann and David over the phone. But I COULD NOT have been with my parents all weekend long and not told them! And we weren’t going to see everybody again until the end of September. So we decided that we were just going to tell our parents. But then by the end of the weekend – being with my whole family – it was SO HARD not to tell them. Especially for Dad – I think he had the hardest time keeping it quiet!
We had professional pictures done at Branson of the whole family and for the very last one the photographer said “On three say Justin and Liz are pregnant!!!” So she got everyones reaction in a picture!! Havent seen the picture yet but when I get it Ill post it.
Enjy the videos!
