Week 19

Yay! The bump has arrived people! I woke up last Wednesday and there was a little something more than usual. I went to Daniel's parents house later that day and had his mom confirm that it wasn't just my imagination! 

And of course - all of this happened on the day I left on a trip, so Daniel had to wait until I got back to see my bump. He was so surprised when he picked me up from the airport!

This Thursday is our 20 week check up, and we have our 20 week ultrasound on Halloween. I can't wait to see how much our nugget has grown! It's going to kill me that we won't be finding out the sex of the baby at the ultrasound. I'm dying to know!!

Here is a picture of the bump at the pumpkin patch:

Week 17

I can't believe I'm already 4 months along! We had an appointment on September 27th for a check up and to hear the heartbeat. Such a cool experience to hear another heartbeat inside of your body! 

I'm still not "showing" very much but Daniel and I can tell my belly has grown a tiny bit. 

Praise God I'm finally done with the constant nausea! It took 4 months, but hey - as long as that part is over, I'm happy! I have still gotten sick a few times, but mostly because something I ate didn't agree with my stomach. And I finally have energy to work out! I've been trying to walk at least 2 miles a day, and the weather has finally cooled down so I'm not miserably hot when I'm out walking.

Here is my 17 week picture. I promise I will get better at updating my blog, and taking weekly pictures!
