21 weeks

Alright, here is my first belly picture to share...you can actually see the belly now...which is crazy! I feel her more and more everyday which feels amazing. Eric is still so sad that he can't feel her....he's counting the days until it's his turn to feel the kicks.

I will post more later

Baby Zoey :)

Here is one of the ultrasound pictures of our beautiful baby girl :)

Little Princess!!

We went to our first ultrasound yesterday....and survey says GIRL!! We are SO very excited, especially me because I really wanted a little girl :) The ultrasound was so amazing! She was very helpful right away letting us know that she was indeed a girl, but then after she showed us that area... she was done helping us out hahahaha... she's quite the little stubborn thing. The nurse kept trying and trying to get some pictures of her face and profile, but she was WASN'T going to let that happen, she kept turning her little head and hiding from us. Which I really just found adorable lol. She was moving a lot as well..we watched her fight to get that little thumb in her mouth...she finally got it in there..SOOO sweet.. so we watched her suck her little thumb for awhile. The nurse said that she is tucked way down in the very bottom of my uterus....she showed us all this other room she has to move around, but she was quite content burrowed in the very bottom. Now hopefully she moves out of there before she grows more...because otherwise my bladder is going to be having a hard time lol. I already have to pee every 15 mins ....I just can't imagine if she stays down there, growing..I'll never be able to leave home. Everything else about her growth is perfect and developing as it should be. All organs she has and her little heart are all perfect:) Of course I don't expect anything less...we pray over her everyday that she is "Healthy and Whole...Nothing missing..Nothing broken!" Which we will continue to pray over her until the day we see her beautiful face :)
I went to my regular check up appointment after the ultrasound, and my midwife had such a hard time trying to find her little heartbeat. I told her to try at the very bottom of my uterus and sure enough..there it was. 135 beats :) My midwife cracked up she said thats where you check for a heartbeat at like 12 weeks..not 20. My uterus is measuring at 19 which is right at my belly button. They said my due date could be closer to August 5th, but we are going to keep it at the 1st for now.
I just can't even describe how excited we are that we are going to have a little girl!!!!! I already did some shopping yesterday and bought some new born and 3-6 month clothes for her. It was SO exciting to actually be able to go to a store and know which to buy :)!!!! I will post more later.... and hopefully get the ultrasound picture up for everyone to see!!!!

Stay posted :)

Belly tickles :)

I finally felt little baby Peffley move for the first time early in the morning. I woke up and rolled over on my stomach a little and was just snugglin with my puppers petting her....when all of a sudden I noticed this little feeling inside my belly...it felt like little tingles and tickles inside. It was the sweetest feeling in the world... VERY exciting!! I have been waiting for this moment pretty much since the day I found out I was pregnant.... although I feel bad for Eric because he is very jealous. He wants to feel the baby move :( I told him he probably has awhile before that is going to happen.

1 week from today is THE DAY! We get to see whats inside and find out the big one..GIRL OR BOY!!!!! I will update then to let everyone know :)

Where's the BATHROOM!!!!

Okay, so I always knew that when woman were really pregnant that the baby put all this pressure on your bladder and you have to pee all the time....but DANG...I'm only 18 weeks and that's ALL I do. I get up 3 times a night....every night..which, seriously could be one of the most annoying things on earth. When you are sleeping, all comfy and warm in bed..having to get up and pee could be one of the most annoying things in the world and it truly angers me! lol. On top on which it NEVER fails that as soon as I get in the car...I have to pee yet again!! I just can't imagine how bad it's going to be once I am extremely pregnant! oh lordy lordy!

18 weeks and 3 days :)

Well I am 18 weeks now, and it's really crazy.. I am almost half way done :) The throwing up has slowed WAY down... I still tend to get sick to my stomach quite a bit, but as far as the actual vomiting part it's only about maybe every other day or so. It's so nice to actually be able to go out and enjoy the day without having to worry about making sure we are somewhere near a toilet in case little baby Peffley decides to reject something in mommy's belly. I have also started wearing "Sea Bands" which have really become quite the life saver for me. They are used for people who go on boats and what not.. but they have started recommending them to pregnant woman to wear all the time to help with the sickness feeling and they REALLY work!!! I am actually able to eat out and then get in the car without having to stop within the next 5 minutes to lose my meal. For a long time I wasn't really able to get in the car at all because I would get motion sickness. I have had a runny or stuffy nose the whole time I have been pregnant, apparently that's normal haha. Can get pretty annoying at times, but better then what happens to some woman. I still get the restless legs at night, my Dr. said that's something I will probably have up until I have the baby...so YAH for me :) In 2 weeks we get to FINALLY find out if baby Peffley is a girl or boy!! That day is going to turn into extreme baby shopping..something I have been wanting to do since the moment I found out there was a little one growing inside of me. And in 2 weeks I will FINALLY be able to SHOP!!!! :) SOOO excited!! Eric has been SO amazing tending to my every need or desire :) Rubs me every night, gets me anything I may need at the moment. He has been such a great husband and inspiration to me. Encouraging me everyday .... especially those days when I truly feel like it's not gonna be the best day for me. I just love him so much!!! Well..stay tuned for more updates :)

cravings????....not so much

So I keep hearing all my other pregnant friends talking about all these cravings they are having. They want a certain thing to eat or drink all the time.... I do not share this pregnancy gift. I honestly have not had any specific cravings at all yet. Could possibly be because I was so insanely sick for the first trimester, food has become more of an obligation then a want. It takes me FOREVER to decide on something that sounds good...and even when I do finally decide on something I want to eat... most of the time after I take 3 or 4 bites I am done. I nibble more throughout the day then actually eat meals. Some fruits, veggies, crackers... I do have one or two days out of the week where I actually do eat something for a meal that tastes amazing to me...but those are few and far between. Although I guess this really could all be a good thing.. it's probably best I don't want to eat everything in site...will make losing the pregnant weight that much easier... that is if this sticks throughout the whole time I'm pregnant haha. We shall see...
