Bloggin' It Up!

Many of my friends have documented their pregnancies and baby-life via blogs and I have always appreciated it.  I love being in the loop on all of the little details.  I’ve decided to start a blog as well-- I hope you enjoy it!  I think it will be nice to look back one day and remember everything that I was thinking and feeling.

On October 6th James and I found out our exciting news.  I remember the exact date since that is the day that Carolina dominated UGA.    

James was a good sport and went to RiteAid to buy more tests (because one is never enough, right?) and then we floated through the rest of the weekend on cloud nine. Sidenote: Ask James to tell you that story from his perspective;)

At first we planned to wait until after our first doctor’s appointment to share the news with our families.  After we discovered we had to wait two weeks, we quickly changed or minds.  

I’ve really enjoyed being able to share the news with all of our family, friends and coworkers.  It was one of the hardest secrets to keep!  I’m really looking forward to the weeks and months ahead and I hope that if anyone reads this, they will share in our excitement!

Here's a little pic that makes me happy:

I found these questions on a pregnancy site, so I think I’ll stick to them for a lot of updates.  I think it will be fun to look back at all of this one day.  I’m definitely not a scrapbook girl, so this blog may be all that I have!

How far along? 19 Weeks 

How big is baby? Apparently, the size of a mango

Maternity clothes?  Some of my regular dresses still fit, but I am all maternity pants now.  

Sleep: I’m normally a BACK sleeper, but the books discourage that.  I sometimes struggle to get comfortable on my side.

Best moment this week:  Feeling little flutters for the first time!

Movement: I have felt a little tiny flutter once or twice.  I hope to fill more soon!

Food cravings: I wouldn’t call it a craving, but I have been on a clementine kick. 

Food Aversions: Not at this point
