A Baby in my Belly!

It's true! We're having our first baby! I have been DYING to tell you but wanted to wait till my first doctor's appointment to share the good news! I am 9 and a 1/2 weeks pregnant and feeling great. No morning sickness, no cravings (aversions to meat sometimes), and one pound gained. :) Baby B (for Bushman) is a little over an inch long and growing quickly!

 

This is the most recent shot I have. We need to get on the 9 week photo.

Matt and I were SO excited when we first found out. The first time we tried we were successful which is probably for Matt's sake since I would have been a nightmare to be around if we weren't. I can be impatient. :) The week I was supposed to start my cycle I thought I wasn't pregnant because the symptoms are the same! I was crampy, tender chested, etc. The beginning of the week I took some pregnancy tests with no luck but as the week progressed there was a faint line next to the other one and I started to get excited. Finally I bought a digital test that read YES! I picture texted Matt at work asking him if he thought it might be for real and he wasn't sure. In hindsight I would have done something more creative but when you're home alone you just can't hold it in! Next time. :) 

 yes!

I told my family by making them cinibuns with little pendants in them that said "Guess who has a bun in the oven?" Along with that I tried to video everyone's reaction on our flip camera. Matt is still editing it for your enjoyment. Seeing everyone's reaction was so much fun and I can't wait to share the video. 

love the iphone pic

Seeing our baby for the first time was so emotional. I totally cried tears of joy when I saw our one inch wonder! Watching the heart beat and hearing it was absolutely incredible. My mom and Matt were in awe and I think they were misty eyed too! The doctor showed us the arms, legs, spine, and brain (it had two parts already! like a real brain!). She also pointed out the "yolk sack" (kinda gross) that the baby was eating from and the umbilical cord along with its home (the placenta). I just can't get over what a miracle this little baby is. God is so cool! 

With all that said I think "Maternity Mondays" will be in full swing now. I can't help myself...I'm in love! 

PS I kinda lied when I told you we were "trying to have a baby" because we already were. Forgive me?
