15 Weeks and Counting

We are pregnant! If you keep up with my Facebook though you already know that. We are 15 weeks tomorrow. 

We found out at about 4 weeks, and had our first appointment at 8 weeks. It was so exciting to see the very rapid heart beat, and the little baby inside my tummy. 

1st ultrasound. 

We decided we wanted to wait to tell our parents or anyone about the baby till we had our ultrasound and knew that everything was going smoothly. After that appt. we went to Wal Mart to find a cool way of having telling our parents. We decided on a puzzle. 

I quickly wrote on the puzzle at Wal Mart and we ordered it. The puzzle read "Hi grandparents, I'm coming soon to hospital near you. Premiering Oct. 20th, 2014." I was in a hurry and trying to fit it all in without going over the baby so its kinda crammed on the puzzle. My parents ended up coming to Mesa a week later so we had them over for FHE and told them that for the activity we were going to have a puzzle putting together contest between my siblings and my parents. My siblings though did not have a puzzle that actually fit together, and it drove them crazy as you can see in the video. 

We decided to tell Aaron's family the next night, so as they were not left out of the loop for too long. We told Aaron's family that my family challenged them to puzzle making contest. Aaron's parents were trying so hard to beat my family they didn't even notice that it was for a baby.

We decided to tell the rest of the world on April Fools because many would not believe us, but it was going to be so fun to see how people would react. We went and bought a pregnancy test but it was so tiny Aaron just drew one on a paper to show we were pregnant. Some people believed us, others didn't believe us.

Pregnancy so far for me hasn't been bad. I haven't had any morning sickness. I did have some worries of course though, because this is our first and I don't know what to expect. I've been trying to not worry too much though. Since I hit the 2nd trimester, I have had so bad headaches, aches, and pains.
Sleeping has become a lot harder lately.
 

We find out what we are having  May 20th. I am pretty set on it being a boy. Not because that is what I want first but something just tells me its a boy. I've also heard a lot of people say that when your pregnant with a boy you don't have as much morning sickness. Who knows though, we may have a little girl. I guess we will see May 20th.

 

I am so excited to bring a little one into this world, and become a mother. Its the one thing I've probably wanted my whole life. Now in just a few short (long really) months we are going bring a baby into this world and I get to experience that. I'm definitely terrified that I'll fail in some way, or I will not be the most patient mother, but I hope I can be.

Aaron is excited as well, but I don't think its hit him as much as its hit me. Although I'm still waiting for it to REALLY hit me. He's been so wonderful through the whole thing. I hate needles and at the first Dr. appt. when I had to give blood I was freaked out, he calmed be down. He's missed work to be with me when I haven't been feeling well. He's been patient when I've been emotional. And doesn't mind that I'm starting to look like a watermelon. I couldn't have chosen a better man to have a family with.

I don't have any good pregnancy bump pictures, but you can kinda see it in the picture below! :)
