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.
