Itty Biddy Week 7

Now starts week 7 of itty biddy's existance and she (i'm using she because it's better than writing he/she or especially "it" every time I want to talk about baby) is about the size of a blueberry! Of course, I've gotten a little bit of a bump considering she's that tiny still, but apparently she's about 10,000 times bigger than when she was first conceived.

So below is the bump at week 7, and my goal is to take pictures every week so I can see how big itty biddy gets. In about 3 weeks we should be set for the first ultrasound and to be able to see and hear itty biddy's heartbeat for the first time! I really can't wait for that, I think it'll make it all seem so much more real. Right now I keep looking at my tummy in sort of disbelief, it's hard to believe that there's a human life in there!

Moving Forward More and More!

It's been a week and a half since I found out about itty biddy. I'm feeling the symptoms of her/him a little more now, but no morning sickness yet! *knocks on wood*

So, while planning the future and nathan and i were figuring everything out, we decided to get married! So now i'm diving into wedding planning, and completely adoring it! Not that I have to justify myself, but I will anyway, Nathan and I aren't getting married BECAUSE of itty biddy, we're just getting married SOONER because of itty biddy! I have already decided my colors and started figuring out details! It looks like the wedding will be December 3, and it is going to be amazing. I went wedding dress shopping for the first time yesterday!

Readjusting to an Itty Biddy!

Yep, I'm expecting an itty biddy one now!
I found out on Monday morning, and it was just a touch shocking. Nathan and I are having a little one join our family in April. It took 2 full days for it to truly sink in, and in those two days we had to tell all the soon-enough-to-be-grandparents because we were home. It was scary! We had to explain over and over that we were both going to finish school, that we had a plan to make it work, that it was going to be fine, and that we were happy about it. I know this is not the "ideal" time to become a mother, but at the same time, I don't believe that there is a perfect time. Parenting is never going to be easy, it's just easier when you're more settled in careers and homes.

The more time passes and the more accustomed to the idea that I become, the more excited it get. In about 5 weeks we should *hopefully* be able to hear the baby's heartbeat!
