Thirteen Weeks!



On Saturday I was thirteen weeks, but we were at the beach so I'm updating late.  This week I'm saying so long to my first trimester.   Last week strange noises started emerging from my stomach.  I was at Target one evening and it was so loud and slightly embarrassing since I don't have a bump for people to be like, "Oh, she's pregnant!" Instead they were probably thinking that lady needs to find a restroom.  At one point it sounded just like it was saying "Beijing beef", funny because that is my favorite fast food from Panda Express.  So I got myself some Beijing beef and wah-la, strange noises stopped.  Oh the magic of Panda!

Twelve Weeks






Exciting news of the week, I am starting to have a permanent bump!  It is small, and hardly noticeable, but I can see it and I LOVE it!  I started shopping for some maternity clothes which has been fun.  I am resisting the urge to buy baby stuff until we find out the gender in September.  In my spare time, which I have lots of until I begin teaching summer school on Tuesday, I have taken every gender prediction quiz out there and for the most part, it is a toss up!  I'm still feeling great, and other than a few nauseas moments, I haven't been sick at all!  Wahoo!  I don't crave anything, but I have a bigger appetite.  Since about week 6, I haven't slept as well, the frequent trips to the bathroom have interrupted the Zs, which is kind of a bummer (but so worth it!) since I've never had trouble sleeping in my life.

Eleven Weeks!


Eleven weeks and I'm still feeling great!  So far, I haven't had any morning sickness (knock on wood) and I'm almost in the clear for trimester one.  I've had less energy which hasn't been a problem since I've been on summer break.  Although, I go back in a week to teach summer school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings.  My favorite part of pregnancy so far has been sharing our exciting news with everyone.  Right now, I'm most excited for a baby bump!  Sometimes in the evening, after I've had dinner, Travis and I get excited because it looks like I have little bump, but by morning it has disappeared.

Our family is getting bigger!

We have big news!!






We've been keeping a wonderful secret... we've decided to expand our family.  Our little babe is due on February 1, 2014.  Travis and I cannot wait for this adventure and have started this blog to keep everyone updated.  I'll try to post once a week, no promises though, especially when September comes around and school is back in session.

Here are some pictures to get you up to date so far.

Our 10 week ultra sound was the best part so far!  We got to see our little babe move around.  It was performing some pretty cute dance moves, must take after mom! :)
