First Dr. Appointment

We had our first Dr. Appointment this week!!! We found out that I am/was 6 weeks along as of Thursday Feb. 16, 2012. Due date is October 11, 2012!! The Dr. did an ultrasound it was pretty amazing!! The heartbeat was my favorite part it was so fast! I got to ask all of my questions which was reassuring and we set our next appointment for March 29th. The Dr said that we probably wouldn't be able to tell the sex then but that baby Janoush would look more like a baby in the ultrasound. After the appointment, Will and I completed a little project that I found on Pinterest. We made a chalk board out of ply wood, chalk board paint, and molding. I am going to take picutes by the chalk board every week or few weeks as a way to document the pregnancy! Then the board will live in the babies room for decoration!! Here is my first pic.....

 

Here is our first picture of Baby Janoush!!! 

Valentines Day!!!

Will was super sweet on Valentines day!! We decided not to do "big" presents (this is our norm)  neither of us are huge fans of the holiday....But Will was sweet and creative with his limited budget and I wanted to share!!!

 He gave me a card that says Mommy several times on the outside then on the inside says "Get used to it....Comgradulations" So cute!!! Also, as you can see he gave me a yellow rose which as Will pointed out symbolizes  "Yellow roses offer a congratulatory tone to celebrate success, new beginnings as well as joyous occasions. This happy vibe that these yellow roses give our makes them a perfect gift for new mothers, newlyweds, graduates" Very thoughtful of him. Last but definitely not least he gave me gummies my number one weakness!!! 


Hope everyone had a great Valentines day!!!

BABY Janoush

I decided to start this blog and write all of the pregnancy events and emotions even though no one will read this for a few months. I was afraid I would forget and or never write about these first few months of pregnancy if I didn't start soon. 

Super Bowl weekend I was not feeling very well and thought I must be about to have my "time of the month".  I looked at the calendar and realized I was several days late...... I took a test and sure enough I was PREGNANT!! So many emotions pored out of me WOW this is a life changing moment I kept thinking. My heart has never beat so fast as I walked into Will's office test in hand to give him the news.  A very very shocked and scared look was all Will could muster at first, but after a few minutes and one trip to Walgreens for more tests we got excited and of course more emotional. Needless to say I watched more of the Super Bowl this year than I have since I started drinking (about 8 or 9 years ago).  I have my first appointment this Thursday (that was February 16th). I cannot wait to have an ultrasound and find out exactly how far along I am and of course see the little little little one!! Plus I have so many questions for the Dr. Im sure she is going to be slightly annoyed with me by the end of the appointment (I have at least 20 questions written down at this point and its only Monday).

This is something I saw on another blog and thought I was a good way to document my pregnancy!!
