BABY ON BOARD

There has been so much excitement going on around here lately.

1. Finished Directorship in Qualification and am officially a Mary Kay Sales Director.

2. Earned my first Mary Kay career car, and was able to use the money (instead of taking the car) and buy a 2016 Mazda CX-5.

3. Found out in June we were expecting in February 2016. 

When we were in Prague, we saw these large babies that are by an artist named David Black. It is said that if you touch the babies butt you will become pregnant within the year. Of course I touched the babies butt, and what do you know, a few weeks later we were pregnant.  :-D

We began by telling all the family around 8 weeks, and then decided to tell "Social media world" at 11 weeks. By this time we had been to the dr, seen the baby and heard the heartbeat and all looked great. 

We have been so excited yet I have been so sick :-(

Im really hoping that in the next few weeks I began to feel better because as of now we are going to be 14 weeks in a few days and I am still getting sick, taking Nausea meds and feeling super sleepy. :-(

At our first Appointment when we got to see the baby it was pretty neat because they actually did a 3D scan which was really neat because you can see so much more. Although I was only 7 weeks at the 1st appointment you could still see the main parts of the baby, like the head and spine, and then small nubs for the arms and legs. 

At 12 weeks I was really hoping to feel better but unfortunately, that just did not happen. :-( The belly has begun to grow, part is obviously bloat, and some is constipation, then the rest is uterus. 

Today was my 12 week appointment, at 13 weeks and 6 days. When we got into the Dr.s office I was a little nervous. My blood pressure was good, but my heart rate was over 100 so they had a hard time finding the heart rate. They decided to go ahead and do an ultrasound. It was very exciting because we were able to see the baby. It was neat because it was moving around a ton and it had the hiccups so I felt kinda bad. I have had hiccups the whole pregnancy and they have been painful, so I thought it was cute that the baby did too. Brian was excited to see the baby, and for it to look like a real baby and not a blob.
