I think that I should start documenting my pregnancy so I can have these memories and moments written down. I am pregnant! It is so crazy to think. We are still keeping things a secret, but our families and close friends know. Our families were so excited to find out we were pregnant. My family was a little shocked, seeing it will be the first niece/nephew, making my parent grandparents! haha.
We got to go to the doctor for our first appointment today, and it was so exciting, and now being pregnant feels real. We got to see Baby P for the first time. You couldn't see much, but a cute little gray blob. The doctor called it a "little gummy bear". The coolest thing was we got to hear the heartbeat. That little heart is sure working! It was beating so fast! You could see on the ultrasound where the heart was because it flutters on the screen. Baby P is healthy, and doing well! It was so fun to see Scott so excited about this little baby, he's going to be a great dad.

I got my blood drawn for the first time too today... it didn't go as smoothly as I would have hoped. I don't like needles so I chose to hold Scott's hand, and look the other direction. It didn't hurt that badly, but man I felt so light headed. Then I started feeling sick, so I asked where the nearest bathroom was, and the nurse moved the garbage can in front of me. I was breaking out in a sweat, and breathing hard. Scott thought it was a little dramatic haha! She gave me an ice pack for my neck and a lemonade to get my sugars up. I sat in the room for about five minutes then started feeling better.
So far I have been really nauseous, and have gotten sick quite a bit. I am guessing this is morning sickness! Yay. Most days it's like all day sickness haha. So I make myself comfy in the bathroom. Scott is an angel for holding my hair, or getting me water in the middle of the night. Thanks babe.
I haven't had too many cravings, other than rootbeer. Everything else I crave I throw up and never want to eat, smell, or look at again haha.
I have gained a couple pounds. Mu tummy just looks like I need to do some sit ups, not like I am pregnant yet. I can tell, but I can easily hide my little pouch. I feel like the baby is a girl, and so does Scott, but my brother is praying for a boy!
I am so grateful for this opportunity to become a mom, and add to my little family. I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for trusting Scott and me with one of his sweet spirits.
