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!
