oops

I forgot to post something last week! I will defend myself by saying that I was so excited about Travis coming home that it slipped my mind. Travis had been gone for almost 2 weeks doing pre-deployment work up stuff. And he came home this past Saturday. But this week has been the most exciting and it's only Wednesday morning! Since the deployment is coming up soon they gave him the week off! And my job was wonderful enough to give me the week of to, so we have been having so much fun. What is crazy is that in typing this I realize that we really haven't done a whole lot, but it has been fun.

Well since I didn't posted last week either, you missed the 12 week update! I went to the doctor last week and it went really well. Baby is growing right on schedule and has a fast little heart at 168 bpm. Although, I will say this little one is a stubborn very hard sleeper just like its daddy. I have always joked that Travis is the worldest hardest sleeper, the world would have to be crashing in on his head in order for him to wake up before he wanted to. Apparently so is my child, and I am crossing my fingers that it continues after it is born. But any way, we had an ultrasound done and they needed to see the baby's profile, but instead of being in the right postion it was laying towards my back so that all we could see is it's back. Well, she had me try everything!! Rolling from side to side, sitting up and laying back down repeatedly, getting up and pacing the room, even coughing and laughing on command! NOTHING!! This child did not want to move. He would squirm a little and then settle back in. But after 20 mins of trying peanut moved so we could see.

But now I am 13 weeks! It really does surprise me how fast time is going. I found out I was pregnant 2 months ago!! It's hard to believe, but super exciting to. I hoping, and believing, that since this is going so fast that it will keep it up and help this deployment to fly by! But back to baby. Week 11-12 (plus a few days) were very bad for morning sickness. Which surprised me because I was sure it was getting better and then BAM it was not so much fun. But it has been better the last few days, alot better! Maybe this really is the end?

So although I am not very sure when it begins and when it ends, but I think that I am officially in the 2nd trimester. Maybe? Who knows for sure, I don't want to get over excited because my luck I am wrong! And this week we are going to try and find out what the baby is! We are going to have a 3d/4d ultrasound done before Travis leaves so that he can try and see it as well! Although it will be very early and may not work very well, we are super excited to try and to see our little one again!

Well I am off to go have some fun, actually it is early so I will probably go see if I can bring the world crashing in on my husband and wake him up! Haha, wish me luck!

Week 11

Well as of today I am 11 weeks along. In the past week I have noticed a new change in me. What is that you ask? It would be my waist line. While no one else would notice, trust me its bigger. I have a couple of pairs of pants that fit perfectly before I got pregnant, and now they are just to snug and very uncomfortable. And the others that were slightly to big, especially when you were them all day and they stretch out fit pretty well now! All my shirts still fit, but I have dresses that don't! It is slightly sad, but very exciting. I look at it like I am fixing to get an entire new wardrobe!

Morning sickness is another story. It has been here for several weeks now, but it has gotten better. At some point during the day (almost everyday) I get queasy and then throw up. But that is it, it comes and goes quickly. I know some people who were sick all day everyday, I thank God that that isn't me. This is has been a pretty easy pregnancy so far, and I really hope it continues that way.

We go back to the doctor next week so I should have more to say then!

They are out of order, but enjoy!

Our weekend

WOW! What a weekend. Last week Travis had to be at the reserve center everyday, and he was there for at least 12 hours a day. And on top of me working, we really only got to see each other for a couple of hours a day. So when we found out he had the weekend off we knew that we were going to have to spend lots of time doing some fun stuff. So he got off of work on Friday and Travis took me out to dinner. Now the experience was not very good, our server wasn't very good, but we had so much fun we laughed so much I was surprised I wasn't sore the next day. We rented a movie and came home.

Saturday when we woke up we had no plans! But figured we should do something to celebrate the no government shut down! I was getting kind of worried about what was going to happen if Travis got deployed and wasn't getting paid. But God took care of us all and now we don't have to worry about it! So we decided we wanted to go up to the mountains since it was such a nice day. We had fun driving with the windows down and looking at the beautiful flowers and trees that were blooming. It didn't take as long as we thought it would so we got home about 5. And decided that we were going to go register for the baby! It was so over whelming all the stuff that there is. So many choices, and when you don't have kids you don't know what you need and what you don't. Travis of course had fun, maybe to much, getting to use the scanner gun thing. So if you look at the registry and think why is this on there, or why do they need more than 1 of these just know that more than likely it was Travis getting a little happy with the gun. Of course it is really just the basic things that we need, because we don't know what we are having. So when we find out I will be adding alot more stuff!

On Sunday we, of course, went to church. It was another beautiful day, but we didn't really do much. I also had to work that night, but it wasn't for long, so I came home and helped Travis pack. Boo! He has left, just this morning, to do some training for his upcoming deployment. Which is coming alot sooner than I would like, but I am going with the thought that the sooner we get started the sooner he comes home, and that means the less he misses of our baby!

Well that is is for our weekend, I have some pictures that I want to get on the computer so I will post them here when I get that done!

10 weeks!

Well another week down, and 30 more to go! Wow, that sounds like a lot, but I guess I found out over a month ago and that time has flown by. Well anyway, I am so excited to be 10 weeks. In my mind it doesn't seem to be a big milestone, but it's still exciting. Since my last post at 8 weeks not a lot has changed. I am however excited, but timid, to say that I think the morning sickness is subsiding. With the exception of this morning I have been feeling much better! Morning sickness has been replaced by sleepiness, but as I told some one the other day: I like to sleep so that's ok with me!

My sister has begun to spoil me! I have received another present. Apparently she decided to send something once a month. And this month, was super cute soother and an absolutely adorable pacifier holder and tummy butter stuff that helps with stretch marks! Last month was 2 pregnancy/child books. I don't know what I would do with out her! She is the best!

Me and mom spend pretty much every weekend at consignment sales. We love shopping in the girl sections now that miss Abbie is here. They are just so cute. Travis and I are hoping to find out what the baby is next month, a little earlier than the doctor usually does it, but we are going to go have a 4d ultrasound done in hopes of seeing earlier! Keep your fingers crossed.
