Merry Chistmas!!!

Enoch and I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas filled with family, love, friends and lots of delicious food :) We'll post some pictures as soon as I can figure out my new camera. MERRY CHIRSTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!

and it begins...

Well nothing new at all yet...except I think I'm getting a bump!!! ALREADY!!! Time for bump pictures....yikes. I was hoping I wouldn't show until 16 weeks but oh well. Everything is moving right along I guess. I had a little bout with morning sickness yesterday morning....oh sooo not fun. I about started crying. I hate puking like no other. I'm going to try a trick I've heard about...eating a small piece of jerky right before bed. But so far it's just been in the morning. My energy levels are all over the place just like my mood swings. One minute I am bouncing through the roof and all giggles and happy, the next I'm about to fall asleep where I'm standing and even the wind makes me cry. They aren't kidding when they say you're an emotional rollercoaster. I think it's about nap time for the next 5 hours.

Still feeling "normal"

So I took my first prenatals yesterday. Before that is was just your average daily vitamin...I'm nervous I'm going to get really sick but I want a healthy baby so if that means puking my guts out, bring it on! What supplements did everyone take? Is there something better or has anyone found anything that doesn't make them so sick? My mom took kelated prenatals and she said that her yucky feelings almost stopped when she started taking those. I'm just so scared of doing something wrong. But I'm almost at 6 weeks and still feel somewhat normal. Except I have to go shopping for...some certain somethings...girls you know what I mean!

Enoch and I looked at baby names for hours last night. We found some...strange ones haha . I love Brayden, Traygen, Bryson, and Jayden. Enoch hates the first 2...his fave right now I think is Brock. For girls, I'm thinking Ashlynn Michelle Bowler or Madison or Chloe. We're trying to pick names that won't set our baby up for being picked on later.

First Dr. Visit

I had my first pre-natal visit with one of my Dr's midwives a couple days ago to have some of my questions answered and stuff. I kept her busy for more than an hour! I had so many questions about food, nutrition, working out, lotions, chemicals and cleaning the house, morning sickness and tons more. I'm officially 5 weeks along :) When I asked her about morning sickness and when most girls get it she said between 4-6 weeks. Since I don't feel any sort of nausea at all, she said I might luck out and not have all those problems. I just have to last another week and I think I'm in the clear. That would be so great! No puking at all hours of the night and day...I got a pregnancy book and a little booklet showing pictures of the developing baby. Our first ultrasound to hear the heartbeat is Jan 7. We're so excited!! I suppose Dr. Meredith is going to check growth and try to determine when we will be able to find out if it's a boy or girl. I got a flu shot too. Don't want to be getting the flu! It looks like things are good as far as birth defects are concerend. We don't have any history of any sort on either side and there haven't been many miscarriages. I'm still nervous about a miscarriage but I'm just going to do my best to stay healthy and keep my stress levels to a minimum. My mother in law had a couple so I was told it's possible that it could happen but since my mother's side of the family has hardly any, I should be in the clear but I should still be very careful about stressful situations and keeping my body as calm and close to normal as possible. HA! Normal? While pregnant??? REALLY???

We're Pregnant!!

So after feeling a bit off for a week and then some and complaining to Enoch about a few things, we decided I should take a pregnancy test. 1st one was positive...so a few tests later and all saying positive, Enoch and I proudly announce WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!! After a year I finally have a little poppy seed growing in my belly. We are so ecstatic!! Looks like the due date will be late Aug/ early Sept. My first doctors visit is to a prenatal specialist on Wednesday. And then after that, the quintessential 8 week visit. I'm so nervous! Enoch is totally chill but I'm freaking out! I don't want to do anything wrong!! But we are really excited and just want to share this with everyone! Will we keep plenty of updates don't worry.
