6 Weeks

On September 7, 2012, I hit my 6 weeks mark.  I have been feeling really good and knew that with Jacob and Trace, I started feeling not so good at 6 weeks.  Like clock work, I started feeling queasy on my 6 weeks mark.  Not too bad, but that nagging sick feeling is hanging around.  As long as I eat 24/7, then I don't feel too bad.  Guess I will be gaining some weight real soon!

I am already starting to show.  I remembered that it took me forever to show with Jacob.  We kept our secret until I was 14 weeks with him.  However, with Trace, my quickly growing belly kept us from keeping that secret very long.  We couldn't even make it until the second trimester like we had hoped.  At 10 weeks, we spilled the beans with Trace, and a few had already guessed it!  I believe that this pregnancy will even have a faster announcement. It is already showing!  I am hoping to be able to keep our secret until my first OB appointment which is on September 18th. 

I hope my little one is healthy and is growing like he or she should be.  Right now, the baby is the size of a blueberry. 

4 Weeks

We found out the big news on August 24, 2012.  After seeing the positive test that morning and knowing that this would be my last time to have a moment like this, I decided to make it special for Jeremy.  I waited to tell him the big news and went off to work! 

That afternoon, I put a few goodies into a gift bag along with the pregnancy test and a note.

When he opened the bag, I could see the excitement and surprise in his face.  I am glad that I will always have that moment!

We both decided to wait until we knew that the pregnancy was going okay before we shared our news with anyone else.   We will tell the boys after our first doctor's visit and after we hear the heartbeat!

On to our new journey in our precious and exciting life - and then there were five!
