15 weeks

Today I am 15 weeks pregnant. I have been having a rough couple of days. I have been having a really hard time with the idea that people only see me as a pregnant lady. I just want to scream "I am still human and I do have thoughts every once in a while that don't revolve around this thing that is invading my tummy space!!" I am very grateful that I have so many people in my life that care about the baby and I but for the love of god stop asking me how I have been feeling when I have told you that I have felt great every time you have asked me for the last 8 weeks.

I am so happy that this baby is on it's way into our lives but I really need to have a few minutes, days or maybe even weeks when I don't have to talk about or hear about this baby. When it's my choice to talk about the baby it's easier but I just need a minute right now.

I think I might be a bad mom already.... how sad.

Exciting baby news!

My god child was born today and I am so excited for my dear friends!! I just wanted to say congrats to you both and welcome to baby Kaiya!! Love her name by the way. I can't wait to met her. 

Baby Teare is already super stubborn!

Yesterday we had our NT scan. We got to see baby again and this time it actually looks like a baby! The tech had the hardest time getting the photos she needed and my abdomen sure paid the price for that one. She had to keep jabbing at my abdomen in an effort to try and get the baby to move the right way. After about 45 minutes baby finally moved and she was able to get the photos she needed. YEAH!!! I love to see baby as often as I can so it was great.

To tell or not to tell, that is the question!

Here we are 10 weeks and 6 days along. I am so excited that we have made it this far! Most of the fears I was having at the beginning are gone, most. I really want to shout to the world that we are going to be having our first child but when is the right time to tell and how do you tell people? Who do you tell personally and who do you let others tell? There are a couple of people that don't know that I really want to tell myself but other then that I am just not sure. I don't want to offend anyone by not telling them personally but at the same time this news is about us not them so why do we have to make sure we tell certain people ourselves. 

When it comes to family I think we are going to leave it in the hands of our parents, both mothers have been very impatiently waiting to tell the world (one more understanding then the other) so I am sure they will be delighted to spread the news. 

One of M's cousins is getting married next weekend so that again is something we have to take into consideration. We most definitely do not want to take anything away from such a special time in there lives but at the same time I am ready to tell now and I am a bit, maybe it's these raging hormones, irritated that my news has to take a back seat to hers. I did not time it so that we would be ready to tell just when she is about to get married. I am done hiding it from people! I want to tell now!

I guess deep down inside I know that waiting a little while longer is the right thing to do for us and for M's cousin I am just ready now and I am so excited!

First Baby Gift

Last week we got our first baby gift. Some amazing friends gave us some cute onesies with kitties on them. They also gave us a beautiful hand made blanket. It means so much to know that they care about us enough to make the baby something. It is so beautiful and I am sure baby T will love it! Thank you!!!

First Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound on Thursday. They moved me up two days so our official EDD is April 12, 2010. Baby looked good, really it just looked like a blob but a good blob. Heart beat was really strong at 167 so that was great to hear. We go back for our NT scan on September 29th so I am looking forward to that. 

My morning sickness is pretty much gone. As long as I eat every few hours I feel good. YEAH!
