Sonogram

Last Friday was our first sonogram...we were going to see it for the first time! So excited! We get in there, the guys tells me to jump up on the table, he slaps on some hot gel, and goes to town! BAM!! There it is...a little piece of me and zach swimming around in my uterus hangin out upside down throwin out 'Peace'. It already has my personality! It was probably the best moment in our lives to date!! Seeing it move was the COOLEST thing ever!!! I picture never does it justice!
The tech was the sweetest guy... he was telling Zach how good of a dad he was going to be and supported our decision to not learn the sex. He also said I looked like a 12 year old, which as good to hear when I feel so chuncky!! Everyday I walk around feeling like a just wolfed down a plate of enchiladas with a side of lard! I have some tummy shots I need to get up, but I always forget..that will be my next blog...titled 'The Expansion"
;) Love you all! Bye for now!

Christmas time in Wisconsin

I couldn't have asked for a more PERFECT Christmas this year! I got to tell everyone face to face we were pregnant and it felt sooo good to finally share it! The weather up there was the ideal Christmas weather....snowed Christmas Eve and Day!!! I had been praying for snow all December and the weekend before I arrived my hometown got 22 inches! So needless to say it was a beautiful white Christmas!!
Ok now a little bit about how the pregnancy is going....
Tomorrow is my first doctor's appt and I'm sooooooo excited to see the baby. I've only heard the heart beat a couple times, I'm not gaining any weight, and I have what looks like a food baby belly (like i ate too much), so I can't wait to see that it's really in there!!
I'm 94 pounds, yet all my clothes are starting to fit a bit tight....what I think is happening is the baby is taking all my protein stores and then I go and replenish with fat!! My appetite is random and I only crave food from restaurants....I should know better!! Yesterday we got a gym membership so junior can come out sculpted! I tried to do twenty minutes on the elliptical and my legs turned to rubber. I ran a half marathon at 5 weeks, so you'd think twenty minutes of cardio would be easy, but a trip to Wisconsin later and I'm the most out of shape person ever... it's the CHEESE!!! Well that's it for now. XOXOXOX
