Travis leaving for Cali

He is out of here, and on his way to California. Of course, I wish he didn't have to go, but I am trying to stay positive. So I keep reminding myself that the soon we get started the sooner he comes home! One day down, a bunch left to go! Please be praying for him and the rest of the guys!

Putting baby furniture together!

Travis' going away party

What a day,

It was a big day here. The most exciting part is the that I am 14 weeks today. I don't feel like much has changed since last week. I might be slightly bigger, but considering I don't measure there really no way to know if I am! I am still sick occasionly. But I know it could be a lot worse, so I count my blessings. I am so excited that next week I go back to the doctor. It won't be a big appointment just a normal check up, but I hear I get to hear the baby's heartbeat which is going to be great!!

The second and not so good part is that Travis left today. This isn't the big, going to Afghanistan leave yet, but he will be gone for 2 months and then will hopefully get to return home for a few days before he goes to the giant sand box. But it is still sad none the less. Like I told him, I know I will probably get to see him 1 more time, it still sucks! My dear friend Whitney drove all the way done here, and took lots and lots of pictures. Which I will post them later.

Please be praying for Travis and all the Marines as they are traveling and training in the next couple of months. And don't forget their families who are left at home!

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!
