SURPRISE!

Our little peanut is expected to arrive May 20th 2014 and we couldn't be more excited! I had a feeling I was pregnant after going out on a Saturday night with Kev for dinner and drinks, but then feeling like I had the flu (times 20!!) the next day. I couldn't stand up for more than 2 minutes without feeling dizzy or nausea. The next couple days I didn't feel as bad but it still lingered. We waited a few weeks and I took 3 tests before calling the doctors, which they asked me to come in that day and I couldn't have been happier to hear them confirm that I was already 4 weeks along! Tomorrow I'll be 11 weeks and the past couple weeks have flown! I can't believe I'll already be in my second trimester next week :) 

The ultrasound pic below was from our 8 week appointment earlier this month. It was amazing to see the heart flutter and finally get to see our little baby. Everything checked out great then and I can't wait till my next appointment next Thursday.

 

We thought starting this blog would be a great way to share our journey with our friends and family. Expect weekly pics and us sharing the rest of our experience!

Hope you enjoy! xoxo
