We're having a baby!

That is right folks! Guillermo and I are having a baby. I am 8 weeks and 5 days and already so much has happened. I have been poked, prodded, and said words like uterus and vaginal (in front of my husband) more times than I would like to count. This blog is a space for me to capture all of those glorious memories, and hopefully share them.

 I feel so blessed and thankful to be going through this experience. God is so good. Being a Mom is a dream of mine. I can say, in my short experience, pregnancy is hard. My baby may only be the size of a green olive, but I have already started worrying about him/her. Quickly, I have found out there is no way I will get through this experience without God!

FAQS

When did we find out?

This Christmas we went to Vail with my parents. On December 26th we started driving back to Dallas (at 6am!) and made it home around 10pm, but before home there needed to be a Walgreen's stop!

I had taken a pregnancy test on Dec 14th and it was negative. So we thought that was that and better luck next month, but I still hadn't had my visit from mother nature on Dec 26th. So that evening while Guillermo took Bear outside I took another test. After giving myself a mini-lecture to not be disappointed...blah blah...TWO LINES appeared. I had a dance party in the bathroom and then RAN outside to tell Guillermo!

The next morning I took another test with a positive result and called my doctor. I went to the doctor the following day to give blood to verify pregnancy.

Dr. Harris called the next day and said congrats :)

Pregnancy symptoms:

Luckily, I haven't had full blown morning sickness. I do get queasy after eating though. 

Pregnancy cravings:

Rice dishes.
Rice and beans
Sweet & Sour Chicken and rice

I do pride myself on eating healthy and it's a lot easier to cut out the non-friendly pregnancy foods than I thought. I do miss my full blown mocha, but decaf will do just fine for now.

The Husband:

I must say he is doing great, and letting me and baby pick all the restaurants :) He is such a keeper.

Thanks for reading.

Love,
