We are 12 weeks, People!

I have not had another ultrasound, yet, but do have some updates!

We are 12 weeks! Actually, tomorrow will be 13 weeks! It is so crazy! I feel like yesterday I was at my first appointment!

I am finally feeling better! I hope the nausea stays away. I would never wish the amount of nausea I had upon my worst enemy! But, now I am feeling better and EATING EVERYTHING! I mean, I am still the same picky-eater Breanne, but if I see something I want it. For example, Chrissy Teigen posted a picture of a salad on her instagram and two minutes later I was texting the hubs asking him to bring me one home - perks of him working in the restaurant industry! I saw some spaghetti on a commerical, and guess what I wanted for dinner? It is crazy. I am typically not a milk person, but this baby is changing my mind, I guess.

Dreams! - that is all about that for this post... more to come on that later! INSANE!

My mom announced at work that she is going to be a Grandma, this week.. and  NOT A SOUL assumed it was me!

And we made it Facebook official - because nothing is official until it is on Facebook!

Here is my 12 week baby bump picture... I can see a little difference.

And a comparison of the three

10 Week Update

I had another appointment at around 10 weeks, on April 4, 2016. The hubs was able to go with me to this appointment and was able to see/hear the babes! When we got to the appointment I laid back so she could do the ultrasound and then all I hear was "Woooooow" and I looked at my husband and his smile melted my heart (I have had a lot of heart melts already through this journey)! Then we heard the heartbeat and my heart was, officially, mush! I love this man, and this baby! I teared up, again!

Here are the ultrasound pictures from then:

Look at that hand by it's head!

Ah! Our little nugget!

Here is my bump picture for week 10 - not much difference!

Spreading the News!

Working with my mom has made it hard to keep this morning  all day sickness under wraps! The only thing saving me was her traveling! But, once she got back from her China trip, I knew I was going to have to tell her.

I wanted a creative way to tell my family and with Easter right around the corner, I wasted no time and got on Pinterest. I found a SUPER cute way to announce it, and here is the link to the blog I found it on: LinenLaceAndLove

The end result:

And.. the video!

                                    

Now, to just keep it a secret a little while longer!

Love At First Sight

Today (March 17, 2016) I finally got to get an ultrasound! It is so crazy how many emotions you already have when you are pregnant - and it get's worse. You think you are handling them, and then you walk in to this appointment, lay down and BAM you get slapped in the face! Seeing the baby on the screen, and then hearing the heartbeat, I melted! And by melted, I mean, I lost it. I was laughing, crying, talking to the doctor, everything. I was so excited, nervous, anxious and most important - SO HAPPY to hear that little heartbeat!

Here is my first ultrasound picture at 8 weeks:

And I think this is how I am going to do my "bump" progression pictures:

SURPRISE!

In the beginning of March 2016, I began to not feel well. Dizzy, light-headed, EXHAUSTED, nauseous. I know, I know - all signs of pregnancy! That was my first thought, as well. Not having a OB in the town I live in, and not wanting to drive to mine, I was forced to go find one here that I liked! I asked around the office and got some recommendations. I made appointments at two, just in case... a girl needs options, right!?

Well, in the mean time, I had to go to work. I was miserable. I was throwing up multiple times a day and working for a company that has quite a few employees made it hard to be discrete in the office! I would feel like I was going to get sick and go into a bathroom stall.. someone walks in. So, I flush the toilet (even though I didn't even use it), wash my hands and head to the next bathroom - praying the WHOLE way there that there was no one in there! I quickly found out which bathroom has less traffic and that became my go-to-bathroom. That is, until, lunch time. That quiet bathroom became busy with lunch worker-outers. I mean, it had the lockers in it! So, I prayed to not get sick during lunch time!

The smells at work were SO disgusting. I would walk in the front door and smell the coffee that was being brewed in the back of the building. I would walk by the "smokers door" to go to the back and would get nauseous from the smell of the smoke (that I never was able to smell before). My husbands work clothes grossed me out as soon as he got in the car! I was miserable.

Both of my appointments were scheduled for March 16th. I had taken a home pregnancy test on March 3rd, with positive results and again on March 5th - I had to be sure - with positive results! I felt like the 16th was a long time to wait to just confirm my pregnancy. I called one back and they could get me in on the 9th, so to them I went. I walked in, filled out some paperwork, waited (literally) two minutes, was called back, peed in a cup and sat in her office with my husband. About a minute later she came in and said "Congratulations! You are definitely pregnant!". The look on my husbands face = priceless! I pleaded my case begged and begged and begged and she gave me some nausea medicine and got my prescription for prenatals and it was a done deal.

I did not plan on it being that quick, so I had taken the afternoon off from work. It was so nice to have the time with just my husband, to let it sink in. I mean, I had already known, as did he, but it was still crazy to hear from a doctor. All day we kept talking about it. 

As we had a miscarriage previously (March 10, 2015), we tried to not get too excited, but I knew I was already further along with this one than the last and it was a pretty good feeling. While still no where near the clear - we are anxious and excited, but also cautious and trying to not get too excited quite yet.

Oh, Baby Donald, you have NO idea how loved and prayed for you already are.
