>It's been a while

>I have not updated this in a while and boy have I grown. After my last picture, all of the bloat just went away and not much was left. Now, I definitely have a belly.

School is finally over...well, I have to go back one last time to finish cleaning out my room. The end of the year is so hectic and insane. It's worse than I could ever imagine!

DH is being a PITA. He has decided to complain about everything. And I mean everything. I don't think he understands that when I get home from work, I'm tired. He wants me to keep working here. He's crazy. I guess we'll just fight over it. It seems to be the trend...not a good trend, either. I honestly thought that after the first trimester, I would not be as exhausted. That is not the case. The exhaustion has remained. If I could find some extra energy to clean up, that'd be awesome.

June 9th is coming up very quickly and I'm so excited! I can't wait to see our baby on again! This ultrasound is extra special. We will know if it's a boy or girl! One of us is right. I say girl, he says boy. I guess there's a 50% chance one of us is correct.

I have to start my day and go finish cleaning my classroom...so I can come home and clean this house.

Here are the last 2 belly pics.
Enjoy.

It's been a while

I have not updated this in a while and boy have I grown. After my last picture, all of the bloat just went away and not much was left. Now, I definitely have a belly.

>12 week belly

>Yes, you saw the inside of my belly, now here's the outside. It's definitely growing! I'm so thrilled to wake up every day and be pregnant. I sit in awe of this on a daily basis. I am so very thankful and praise God daily for the beautiful little life growing inside of me. It's so surreal.

>Model Child

>Today I had my 12 week scan! It was great! The baby was wiggling all over and so cute. I saw arms and legs, the brain and of course that beautiful heart beat! The technician was getting all of her measurements and the baby is measuring 5 days ahead!!!! She also said that I have the model child! It was so very exciting! I will see the baby again at 17ish weeks. Until then, the doppler will have to just do! I think it has my nose and of course DH thinks it has his nose.

For your viewing pleasure...baby Ross!!

>I just look fat

>For proof that I just look fat...


I've only gained 2 pounds. Nothing fits...if it does it just looks horrible. I'm ready for a baby bump and not just looking fat.

We told our parents last weekend. Of course MIL said that she KNEW it. Whatever. She kept trying to tell me that I was 10 days not 10 weeks. I guess she knows now that it was 10 weeks.

I can't believe that I am 11 weeks pregnant. I know it's not THAT far along, but it sure makes me feel better. As each day goes on, I feel better and better about this pregnancy. I woke up today with no sign of nausea, which is really nice. I'm actually hungry.

My appt is Wednesday. I'll update more after that.

>One pound.

>I'm 9w1d today and it feels great. I've only gained one pound, although the bloat on my tummy would try to argue that. The longer I go, the better I feel about this pregnancy. Of course we still have not told any family members or friends. I tried to tell a very close friend the other day. We were at the nail salon and in walked this very cute pregnant girl. I almost said, "that will be me in a few months". I just couldn't get the words out. I've been trying to tell people for a few weeks; I don't know what my problem is. Hopefully, that will go away and I can comfortably tell people. I refuse to tell anyone until I'm fully comfortable.

My FIL called me on Thursday. We had a very strange conversation. I hate how nosey he and MIL really are. When I'm ready to tell them anything, they will know. Anyway, the coversation was brief. He started it by asking me what MY doctor said. First of all, DH told them HE had an appt. I just played it off like I did not know what he was talking about. I was like, well, I had a chiropractor appt and I got my hair cut (which, by the way is very cute). He said that MIL told him that there was NO way that DH had a dr. appt. He wanted to know if I was giving him a grandchild or getting fertilty. WTF? When did our TTC adventure become any part of thier business? I told him that I was not desperate enough for fertility and that they needed to stop thinking so much before they hurt themselves....Fast forward about an hour....MIL calls. She is out of town. She wants to know what's new. I was like, nothing. I'm just making dinner. Nothing's new. Really, nothing IS new. I've known for over a month that I'm pregnant. I wish they would just back off and let me do this my way.

Now, DH wants to tell. I told him NO! He agreed that when I'm ready we will tell. He just hates lying to people. I told him to get over it. I'm sure my IL's won't be very happy that we waited so long to tell them. Honestly, I don't care. I don't have any desire to tell them, especially after MIL said the most hurtful things to me when I had my miscarriage.

I bought a home doppler to listen to little peanut. Finding the heartbeat is definitly the highlight of my day. There is no better sound than hearing what sounds like a choo-choo train. It always makes me immediately smile. It's so amazing for me to think about what my body is doing right now. There is a real LIVE person in there. Although it's the size of an olive, it has arms and legs and they wiggle. I'm in awe of this whole process. It is such an amazing miracle.

My next ultrasound (NT scan) is on the 30th. I can't wait to see my little peanut again! We will tell after that.
