The Pregnancy Story: 1st Trimester

So its been forever since I posted. I don't want to be one of those moms who use pregnancy as an excuse for everything but I WAS PREGNANT so for this I will! Running the daycare, being a full time wife and Mommy and then being pregnant had been a bit more work than I had hoped. Everything went great health wise, but by blogging time I was exhausted! First few months I was in bed everyday by 8. Then by the last few months sleep was a distant memory. I slacked. So I want to try to catch up a bit a get what I can down now about my pregnancy to share and to help me remember one day!

We were TTC..well we were Cing lol.

THE BACK STORY
Jason & I had some stuff planned and coming up but we had decided when that was done we would start trying for baby #2. Our last obligation was in August and we tried in September and well that was all the T we needed. I knew pretty much right away I was PG, and basically counted the days til a test could confirm. And well....

there you have it. Based on my LMP I was due 5/28/12. But I was barely 4 weeks pregnant so I had to wait a month for the doctor to tell me for sure.

THE FIRST DOCTOR VISIT
My doctors appointment originally was to see a midwife. A midwife delivered Jax and I had a very good experience. I saw her once the first visit which means an ultrasound! Those are the best kind of visit. & nothing compares to the very first visit when you see the baby for the first time and hear that heartbeat. What an amazing moment.

our little gummie bear :)

From that appointment we learned the due date was 5/29/12. It was a great visit and everything looked good!

SO IT BEGINS 

I immediately saw changes to my body. I decided to try to take pics in same position to document what was happening. I also thought it wouldn't hurt to have some inspiration pics to know the body Ill be working hard to get back!!
Even now looking at this while 7 weeks PP I am devastated to the fact that I would do anything to even have that 10 week body back. :/ I just had surgery {story for another day|} so as soon as I heal its back
to working out!!

8 Weeks in :)

It wasn't just my belly growing. But my hair and nails took on a life of thier own! I was super excited because I never had my own nails before. If I had a manicured french I definitely was wearing tip nails. Now these were MINE all MINE!!
