Baby.. Baby... Baby...

Oh Hello there blogger world.

If you haven't heard already, Collin and I will be parents June 2014 (our due date is 1 day before my dads birthday!)... whether or not we are ready for it! But lets be honest, who is actually READY. I'm sure this baby is going to knock us sideways and I couldn't be looking more forward too it.

We found out about a month ago, and its already been quite crazy since. I felt pretty good when we found out.. although I could tell my body was going through some weird changes. Then came the wonderful Monday when the nausea started. Its all fun and games until you're throwing up your breakfast and calling your mom and asking what I need to do to make the feeling stop! I'm not quite sure what I would of done without them (parents)... they brought over about 5 bags of groceries with anything I needed and stocked me up on ginger ale and saltines.  Needless to say the next day I was prepared and didn't go 5 min without eating one of those crackers.

My mom has been a huge blessing... buying my clothes all the time, because I don't fit into mine anymore (we will just blame it on the baby weight)... bringing me over dinner multiple times! In the last month either my mom or Collin has made at least 95% of the meals I've eaten. I KNOW... I'm THAT tired. SERIOUSLY.. I didn't know tired until I was pregnant tired. Pregnant tired is probably right above the tired I will feel when I actually have the baby here.

But luckily they say this all stops at that 12 week mark. Which is literally days away... I can only cross all my fingers and toes I wake up with all that energy I've been promised by all those that have experienced this before I.

I watched what to expect when your expecting recently. FAR more funny when you are actually pregnant. I am that hot mess of a pregnant person who cant be bothered with a shower, makeup or taking any care of herself. Poor Collin, if he hears me say I'm tired one more time his ears will probably start bleeding.

Speaking of Collin, I could probably start crying (only because I'm overly emotional) at how amazing he is. You know you have a good one when you are a complaining Pregnant person and all they do is whatever you ask of them. He lets me watch my TV shows... he laughs at me when I'm constantly laughing and crying at the same time.. crying because I'm overly emotional and laughing because its ridiculous being overly emotional. He makes me dinner ALL THE TIME... he buys me snacks... cleans... sleeps on the sofa if he knows he's snoring too loud and I wont sleep well. I don't know what I would do without him. I seriously don't.. and I'm not even saying that.

But I will say this.. I can't get over the fact that I am literally growing a human inside me. Today, watching the little baby move around, seeing the arms and legs and hearing that wonderful little heartbeat was an absolute MIRACLE. I mean seriously... I am always sick, tired, I've become the pickiest eater.. I hate all sweets now.. but golly gee it couldn't be for the more AWESOME reason.

We are just so blessed to be able to have this time. So blessed by our families and friends. I'm already wanting this little person to get here and I have lots of time to go!

So here is to our next journey as Husband and Wife... soon to be mommy and daddy...

PS. we find out next appt.. December 13th if its a boy or a girl... any guesses?!
