8 weeks!

I have meant to update my blog once a week to talk about each individual week and how it's been going. However, I haven't felt much different since the last time I posted! Which is probably why I haven't been so good at posting. As I am sure since I am now 8 weeks I will start feeling a little bit of a difference week by week so I will try my hardest to keep up on my weekly updates! Now, my baby is the size of a raspberry! Still sounds so small but so exciting from when I first heard it being the size of a sesame seed!! :)

I can't even believe how much I love this baby already! It's amazing to know how much that love can grow through the entire 9 months of pregnancy until the moment I get to hold this sweet little baby in my arms! Aside from the excitement, I have definitely felt some of the worries as well! I never knew I would worry so much before my first appointment! Unfortunately my first appointment got postponed up until the 1st of February. Only a few days after my original one I had made. I will be 10 weeks from my estimation by then and hoping and praying for the absolute best outcome and can't even begin to express my excitement for the first time I will get to see that little baby and hear it's heartbeat!

How have I been feeling?

Well, pretty great actually. Alot better than expected. That's for sure. I have felt very slight nausea. But little to none. The only time I felt a little nausea was when i was around 6 weeks and it was very mild and nothing that Ginger Ale couldn't take care of. So either I am the lucky 25% of women that don't experience much Morning Sickness or it has not yet hit me and when it does I am sure it will hit me with a vengeance! I have however experience the pure exhaustion. It seems I have to take a nap daily now and I never used to need that. I am always tired, and hungry usually every 2-3 hours. I also have my lovely mood swings that my poor husband has to deal with. Hopefully those will pass soon!! Other than that I feel great. I will try to post some pics soon, even tho there really is not much to show yet!!

baby:)

It's true. We are having a BABY! It by far was the greatest Christmas gift we received this year! Christmas Eve we found out that we are Pregnant! We weren't exactly expecting it, so we were very surprised but SO excited! It definitely has not yet hit me that we are having a baby, but I am sure in time that it will! Since we spent this Christmas in Georgia with my Dad, he was the next to know! Then we told the rest of our family. Most of my friends don't currently know the news yet. We are putting it on hold for just a few more weeks once we get out of the high-risk zone! We plan to make it officially public at my 12 week mark! We found out when I was just at 5 weeks! So it's still very early, and we are still very hopeful that everything will turn out great at our first OB appointment that is scheduled for January 28th. I will then be 9 weeks. I will continue posting week to week however, and once we are at 12 weeks this blog will become a bit more public!

Again, we couldn't be more excited about adding an additional Brandon to our family. We feel so blessed that it happened this way and could not be more excited and hopeful!

we are looking forward to the next 8 Months we have ahead of us and can't wait for the adventure!
