Ultrasound

Today was another BIG day! Steve and I got to see the baby for the first time. It's a cute little circle in my belly. According my the baby bump app, my baby is the size of a small pea. Even though you can't see much this early, I'm already in love. The other cool thing we got to see in the ultrasound was the heartbeat. It was a little to early to hear it but you could see the baby pulsating. That was awesome! So...I was correct, I'm 6 weeks and the due date is July 13th. My doctor was very happy with the results from the ultrasound. Also, Kellie and Ali told me about this Chinese calendar. You enter in your age and the month of conception and it tells you if your having a boy or girl. The people that I talked to that have used this website site all say it's been correct for them. So....if it's correct for me....it will be a little boy. I have about 12 more weeks before I will know for sure. I hope it goes by quick. I'm ready to start shopping!!!!!!

Megan & Ethan's Wedding

November 9-14 we spent in AZ for Megan and Ethan's wedding. It was so nice seeing the whole Bawol family and just relaxing. We did a little shopping, went out to lunch, lounged around and of course the big wedding. The rehearsal dinner was at this AMAZING mansion at Superstition Mountain. They had it catered by a local Mexican restaurant. The food was good and it was nice getting to know Ethan's family and friends. Ethan truly is a wonderful man and I can see exactly why Megan fell in love with him. They are absolutely perfect for each other and I was honored to be apart of their special day. The wedding was also at Superstition Mountain. Both the ceremony and the reception were outside. Thank God the rain held off and it turned out to be a great day. There was a lot of dancing at the wedding and everyone looked like they were having a good time. The day after the wedding, we went to Uncle Jeff & Aunt Erin's house for lunch. Megan and Ethan also came before the left for their honeymoon. Overall it was a great trip and I just love being with the Bawol family.

BEST WEEK EVER!!!!!

Last week was a very exciting week. On Tuesday November 8th I found out I was pregnant!!!! I've been waiting 15 LONG months to get a positive result. I was shocked and still am a little. I was telling myself that taking Clomid probably wasn't going to work the first month and that was ok. So when I got up Tuesday morning and took a test after I was a day late I was so excited to see 2 pink lines. :-) I woke up Steve from a dead sleep at 5:50am to let him know I was pregnant. I think I just kind of yelled it. He had no clue what was going on at first so I had to tell him again. He gave me a big hug and kiss. Of course I still had to get ready for work and I think I had a permanent smile on my face all morning/day. I kept saying to Steve....we're having a baby. I think I had to say it out loud a few times to make sure it was real. I'm such a dork so I also brought a pregnancy test to work and took another one just to make sure. Hahaha...that one was positive too! Called the doctor and got blood work that day to confirm and see what my hcg level was. So...all that happened Tuesday and then we were leaving for Arizona on Wednesday. I had to tell my parents and sister of course because they would wonder why I wasn't drinking. I emailed them also on Tuesday to let them know I got them a b-prize to get our vacation started. It was a TOTAL lie but they would wonder why I got them a present. I made them each a onesie and they opened it up before the plane ride. Kellie started screaming and crying instantly and the rest of us had tears in our eyes. Steve and Jace looked very confused because it was 5:30am again. We called Steve's mom Colleen and Brad on November 15th. It was actually her birthday and we thought it would be an awesome birthday present. Plus it was hard not telling her until Friday when they came over for dinner. They were also super excited because they know how bad we want to be parents.

P.S. I'm keeping this a secret until closer to Christmas. I want to make sure the baby is healthy before I share the wonderful news. The ultrasound will confirm how many babies I have in my belly. I think there is only one but there is a possibility for 3.

Appointments so far:
November 21st - 1st ultrasound and meet with the doctor
December 1st - consult with the NP
December 15th - meet with the doctor again

Slacker

So...I've totally been slacking on posting stuff. Dang....but I've been kind of busy lately.  Here's what I've been up to lately.

• Working a lot
• Addicted to Pinterest so I'm doing a bunch of crafts. I will post pictures later.
• Jace was Spiderman for Halloween. My parent's had a International Halloween party for people in town from work. We took Jace trick or treating and then hung out. Great party!
• Buba turned 30 so we went to Lansing for his birthday party. Met more Ali and Andrew's family. They are awesome!
• Steve has been on a cleaning binge. He has already cleaned, organized and got rid of a bunch of stuff. So far the office, guest room, our bedroom and basement are clean. Thanks Steve, you're the best. I was just left to go through my pile of stuff and clean the bathroom. Ok, that sounds fair to me. :-)
• Ali and Katie both had doctor appointments and their babies are healthy. Katie finds out the gender on the 22nd and Ali on the 28th. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Heather and Andy welcomed Kinsley Grace into the world. She was 5lbs 7oz 18inches long. OMG....she is so precious. I will definitely be posting a picture of her. Maybe I should check with her parents first though. I got to see her once in the hospital but I want to see her again very soon.
• We are headed AZ Wednesday for Megan & Ethan's wedding. I can't wait to see the Bawol family. It been a couple of years and I miss them.
• Went to the pumpkin patch with Heather, Ali and Brittany. Had a lot of fun shopping and going on the hay ride.
• Got my ear pierced twice like a picture I liked on Pinterest.

I think that's all that's happened in the last couple of weeks. If I forgot something I will add it later. Promise to not slack anymore or at least for a while.
