Sorry been so long!

Since the last post I have been very sickly. Lots of getting sick and the trying to eat and all that jazz did not help. Even being woken up to get sick! It has been so very fun lol! I was waiting until some things actually happened before I wrote again. Other than getting sick all the time, nothing has really been happening. Well.. except for the growing belly. I can't wear any fitted button ups and so many of my very fitted cami's roll up over my belly while at work, yesterday i had to watch it cause i had on a tight cami and a tight fitted tee and neither wanted to stay down! It is so crazy how fast this seems to be going! My first doctor visit wasn't anything baby really, they did a physical and got lots of info from me and told me what to expect. Many of you know I have/had endometriosis so it was supposed to be very difficult for us to get pregnant, well it didn't take us long at all, so the dr was very pleased about that. He said getting pregnant should get rid of this issue. After talking about what all we have tried before and what all went on, he thinks I may have von willebrands disease. It is some kind of blood clotting disease. So that could be interesting lol. Everything came back good from the tests they ran. The visit today was kinda crazy, I went to the insurance office and got stuff from them, then went to the lab and they drew 4 viles of blood to run more tests, then I finally saw the nurse and nurse practitioner. Luckily I know the nurse so she first checked to make sure everything was right in the computer. Next, she told me since I was 10 weeks and 5 days we may not be able to hear the heartbeat with the doppler. She looked and it only took a sec and THERE IS WAS!!! The heartbeat was good and strong! It definitely made it all seem more real. Even though my clothes don't fit quite right I have not really felt pregnant, just flu like and gaining weight. Today it really hit me! I got a bag with samples, magazines, pamphlets, and a very cool calendar. After I get this done I am working on the calendar! You fill in the days according to how far along you are and it shows you picks for each week and little details of whats going on. I can track things there! But the app on my phone updates me everyday on how big my little peanut is. Today it says it weighs .22 ounces and 1.5 inches long! Before I got pregnant my smallest on my waist was 25 inches. Now around my growing bump I am at 31 inches. I should have started at the very beginning but mom gave me the idea to start tracking! Here's the pic!

This Week

Hey guys,

 This week the symptoms have definitely shown up. There has been lots and lots of fatigue, some icky sick feelings, and stretching feelings in the belly with some lower back pain. Some of my pants already are a little bit snug, just my higher rise ones though. My first doctors visit is next Monday!! I can't wait to find out all sorts of info and get this going!! For those of you that do not already know, Matt got a promotion a week before we found out and part of his training is at another store in Memphis!! So I am not real excited he is in and out for the next few weeks, but it is perfect timing with a baby now on the way! We are trying to move a little closer to our jobs since we are now working across the street from each other but live like 25 or 30 minutes away from them. This will also get us a little closer to his family (I think this gets him excited in case there are any issues he wont have to worry as much about someone getting to me). Still not exactly sure but the picture below is like 7.5 or 8 weeks. Sorry the pic is so blurry! I took the second one first so I just left them both on there.

So Far

Hey guys,

Since so many of you live far away or do not have time to see me regularly I thought I would do this to let you know what was going on. We think I am about 6-7 weeks and according to an app on my phone baby should be due June 6th. I go to my first doctors visit on Oct 31st! I am super excited! They should be able to let me know more.. hopefully! I am still in a bit of shock about it cause I was not actually thinking I was pregnant. I still have moments of denial. For those of you that don't know, I was 18 days late and convinced I had a kidney stone and was not going to take a test. Too many people told me they all thought I should so I did just to say I took one. Needless to say there was definite shock when it was instant positive! We are super excited and just trying to take it all in. We have not really been looking at baby stuff, every time I try to look, I just kind of stare at the main baby screen. It's still just weird to think we are going to have a little mini Matt or Katie soon! Hopefully I will remember to keep up with this so everyone can be filled in!

This is a pic showing my baby at 6.5 weeks (this is the day we found out)

As I said before I did not quite believe the test and so I was comparing. We found out on Sunday Oct 16th and since I still didn't believe I took another test Monday and sent pics to my mom to make sure it was really positive and of course I made Matt double check it Sunday.
