Baby at 10 weeks.. ;-)

First blog since we’ve announced our BIG news. I’m gonna try to keep this up each week to share what’s going on, feelings, pictures and whatnot.. I was trying to figure out how to change my background to a baby one, but couldn't figure out how to do it, so we got this new background for now.. ;-) As of a few days ago I am now 10 weeks, we had our First Dr. Appointment met with our Dr. and she asked us a bunch of questions and did checked me out and said everything looks good.. The best part was we got to FINALLY hear the Baby’s Heartbeat it was neat to hear it and so reassuring. I said to the Dr. “Yay!! Baby is alive and well!” and she kinda laughed at me and said with a smile yes baby is alive and well.. ;-) Baby’s heartbeat was 150 or 155. Makes it more real now that we’ve heard the heartbeat and so much more exciting.. We only heard one, but you never know, maybe there is another one hiding.. Haha.. I can’t wait until I get to the point where I can actually feel the baby kicking/moving.. Still don’t have really an cravings, if I do it’s unhealthy stuff that I shouldn’t be eating, but I still do once in a while. Gil and I were trying to figure out what to eat for lunch yesterday and I kept naming all this bad food and he was trying to figure out something healthy for us to eat. Then he remembered that we had some subway coupons, so we were like lets go to subway.. So we get there and we stand in line to order and I was trying to decide what I wanted to told him that maybe I’ll get this sub because it was what I had last time, and he’s like you can’t eat that because it’s deli meat you will have to have them heat it up.. I said I don’t like my meat heated up he’s like well have them cool it off then.. I was like really then why are we even here.. apparently we both didn’t think about it.. So I ended up ordering a pizza sub and got it toasted because I didn’t know what I wanted.. so we’ve decided that we can’t go to subway anymore.. Guess it’s one of those moments you had to be there.. Haha.. ;-) Hum.. yeah so not to many cravings yet, still in the moods where I’m not sure what to eat… Not sure baby liked the sloppy joes we made the other day, didn’t sit well , but not as bad as the pizza that one night. I’ve actually be able to handle pizza since then, I think maybe it was the sauce on the other pizza that didn’t agree with me, who knows.. Gil joked and said we are going to have to make a list of food that I can’t eat and put it on the fridge.. He thinks I’m going to start liking Chinese food and Asian food and all that stuff I don’t like.. Ha. Still having little cramps here and there, but nothing to major and not so often.. Still not sick or throwing up which is nice.. I told Gil the other day if cramping is really the only thing I have to complain about then I’ve pretty much got it made.. I’m so glad that I’m not sick.. ;-) People keep telling me it's gonna be a girl, but with Gil growing up with brothers and out of the 14 neices and nephews he has 4 neices and the Tervort side doesn't have many girls either, so chances are slim, but hopeful for a girl.. ;-) Gil's had a dream or two about us having a girl.. One of my Cowokers actually siad it will be a girl with red hair.. Guess we'll see when the time comes if it's a boy or girl.. People at work are slowly finding out.. I've only told a few people, but now i'm getting people coming up to me and say congrats yesterday I had a manager come to me and said so I heard a rumor about you, and I sat waiting for her to say something else and then I looked at her and smiled and said YES, i'm pregnant.. and she starting talking to me about it for a little while, it was kinda funny... One of the ladies at work told me yesterday she thinks i'm bigger then I should be at how far along i'm supposed to be, so she think's it's twins.. I have some pictures that we’ve taken, but I didn’t want to post them until we got to see our Dr. and knew everything was ok, and see if I am as far along as I think I am.. We didn’t do an ultra sound to figure it out because I’m pretty sure I’m close to the time of my last period and she said even if I’m a few days off, it wouldn’t matter.. But with people coming up to me and telling me that I’m “BIG” for how far along I am makes me wonder if I really am further along or maybe there is another baby hiding in there or who knows.. I think if I was further along I’d be able to feel the baby move by now, and I’m not feeling anything yet, so I really just think I’m just “FAT” or as Gil says “you’re pregnant”. He doesn’t like it when I call myself “FAT”.. I haven't gained any weight yet, I weigh myself every once in a while and I lose a couple pounds but end up finding it back agian.. so I’m going to post pictures below that we’ve taken of me and my growing tummy.. ;-) Thank You for taking the time to read about our new adventure and the process of it.. Hope I don’t bore you to much.. :-) this was at 8 weeks..
This was at 9 weeks..
This would be me now at 10 weeks.. The day we went to see the Dr. and I didn't figure it out until after I put this shirt one, but it has hearts on it and we were going to hear the Baby's heart beat that day so in honor of that I guess I wore the right shirt.. ;-)
Me Trying to make a Heart.. <3

Newest Update

So I know I haven’t blogged in a while, but guess we haven’t really had too much going on just the basics going to work and Gil is taking some online classes and life is GREAT!! This blog is especially special to us, because we have an announcement to make we wanted to wait a little longer, but we decided we can’t hold it in and keep it a secret any longer.. So here it is.. Drum Roll Please………..
We are EXPECTING a Baby!!! ;-) We are so excited and yet so nervous (well I’m nervous Gil is so calm which is good).. Gil and I took a Vacation to Wisconsin September 19-24 and we came back and we both got colds. I knew it had to be something more, so I had taken a at home test Sunday September 30th and it came out positive, so we went to the Dr. Tuesday Oct. 2nd and without a doubt it was positive again.. After talking with the nurse we came to the conclusion that we will be due in May 2013 we are 6 weeks maybe closer to 7 by now.. We took a guess at the due date and came up with May 22nd. I’m sure we’ll figure out for sure once we have ultra sounds and whatnot.. We have our First appointment Thursday Oct. 11th in the morning, basically just our Medical History, family history, and just basic information and whatnot.. Then we aren’t sure what happens from there.. I’ve been feeling pretty good actually.. Don’t want to jinx anything, but No morning or night sickness, just some pain in the lower stomach which I was told is normal used a corn bag on it and it helped.. I have a headache once in a while, and tired but that’s not new stuff.. Ha.. I think it was all in my head, but I was sleeping on my back for a while and and couldn’t sleep on my side or stomach, but doing better now.. ;-) I can’t wait until we get ultra sounds done at least our first one just so I know everything is ok and baby is fine. It’s just nerve racking not knowing, but I know it’s ok.. Thank You for taking the time to hear about our news.. We will keep everyone updated as much as possible... Sorry if we didn’t get a chance to call everyone. Last week with finding out the news and having a busy work schedule wore us both out.. We wanted to make sure everyone knew and this was the easiest way to tell everyone.. Here are just a few pictures that we took.. ;-)
