Our Adventures Together : 15 weeks and counting.....

We are officially 15 weeks pregnant with what has been dubbed "the little peanut"!!

Visually my body is starting to scream this fact to the world even though we have known about this roller coaster ride for about 11 weeks now (which seems like years some days). Roller coaster is the closest ride I have ever experienced to this. I felt amazing for all of 2 weeks after taking 3 separate pregnancy tests (all were positive but I was a little shell shocked and wanted to make sure it wasn't a joke). Then came the nausea, drooling, cramps (the books don't take about this wonderful symptom), state of constant bloat, headaches, inability to function because you are so tired and teenage acne. Sounds fun huh? And to top it off Pippa couldn't stand the sight of me for the first 6 weeks. Wouldn't listen, wouldn't follow me and didn't even want to cuddle with me. My poor husband was told several times a day that this was probably the last time we were ever going to do this. About 3 weeks ago the constant nausea started to wain (don't worry it lets me know every third day know that it's still running the show), my acne cleared to that of a regular young adult and I don't need to nap every 2 hours. This past week my little tummy has started to move away from the bloat to a hard little bump (it's little in the morning and grows throughout the day). Every day starts to get better and better, not to mention more and more real. I'm going to be someones mom!?!?! Still doesn't sound or look right.

Tomorrow is our second prenatal visit and I get to hear my little peanuts heartbeat. Our first visit he/she was a little too tiny to hear anything consistent but it was reassuring to the little one was in there. I will keep everyone updated each week as we experience, read and learn more about this amazing chapter of our lives. Until then... here is the bump and several reasons why I need a baby so I stop dressing poor Pippa up all the day.... unless it's a girl and I can get them matching outfits!
