& it begins. :)

         So, Justin and I want to help keep everyone informed about what will be going on throughout the next 7 1/2 months of our lives. We are thrilled at this point to be expecting a baby, but at first, I think I was a little (okay, a lot) shocked. I guess I always dreamed of finding out I was pregnant and it was NOTHING like what I expected. I saw the pregnancy test say "Pregnant" and I completely freaked out. I had this overwhelming feeling of OH MY GOSH, I HAVE SOMETHING GROWING INSIDE OF ME!!!! I then began to cry and then got excited. :) haha


          We had our first ultrasound last week and it was at 6 weeks and 3 days, so that makes me 7 weeks preggers today! It is going to be a LONG 33 weeks from this point on. During the ultrasound, we got to hear the heartbeat and it completely blew me away. It is nothing shy of a miracle that something so small can actually have a heartbeat. Only God could create something so inctricate and amazing.

         For about 2 1/2 weeks I was getting really nauseated at night, and a few times in the mornings, but the past 2 days I've felt much better. The only time I really feel bad is right around dinner time. I just think about food during that time of day and feel queasy. Hopefully this passes soon because I NEED FOOD. :) I love reading all of my pregnancy books and apps that tell and show me what my baby looks like and what is happening each week. I probably read each one about 5 times a day!
