14 Weeks

As soon as we found out we were pregnant I started planning how we should document my pregnancy experience. After seeing how Whitney Rodgers blogged weekly throughout her pregnancy I decided I would do the same!

I know I'm starting a little late, (I had planned to start at 10 weeks) but this past few weeks of school have been CRAZY!!!

Pregnancy Highlights
(Weekly Pregnancy Pictures are soon to come too!)

How far along: I am 14 weeks today

Size of baby: Baby Stanford is the size of a Peach (3- 3 1/2 inches long.)

Total weight gain/loss: I have lost a total of 9 pounds so far.

Maternity Clothes: Occasionally, especially when there’s a big pile of dirty laundry. But, since losing 25 pounds (from January till now) most of my clothes fit like maternity clothes.

Gender: We find out in 4 Weeks!!

Movement: None so far, but we are looking forward to feeling our little wiggler.

What I miss: I miss having energy! I feel exhausted all of the time which then leads to me doing NOTHING when I finally make it home. My house and car are a mess, I haven’t cooked in at least a month, and I have dirty laundry out the Wazoo! I’m so ready to feel like myself again!

Cravings: Pickle Juice!

Symptoms: Fatigue!!! These past few weeks of school have been crazy, so I hope once the

 stress has calmed down I will be less tired.

Best moment this week: Receiving a precious Mother’s Day Mother-to-be card from my sweet Husband and Mother-in-law.

This past  Friday we had our 3rd doctor's appointment. It was a typical appointment... weigh in, pee in a cup, ask questions... but we also were able to hear our sweet baby's heartbeat again! It's so wonderful to know God has blessed us with a healthy little miracle! We also found out we will have the "BIG Sonogram" done when we go back on June 11. At this appointment the doctor will give our little one a good look over, and we will hopefully find out the gender of our precious little baby! 

The First Appointment - 4 Weeks

On Monday morning I frantically called my OBGYN in Tupelo hoping to either get an appointment or a referral to a doctor in Oxford. It seemed like I wasn't going to have an appointment for 3 weeks, but since Jordan wouldn't believe we were pregnant without a doctor saying so I decided 3 weeks was WAY TOO LONG to wait!

I decided to call one last office, and they just so happend to have an appointment with a female doctor two days later (one of Jordan's day's off)!! How perfectly did that work out!?!

Now I had to figure out a way to take off from work without telling everyone where I was going.....
We both REALLY needed to get our eyes checked, so I thought what better cover up than a different doctors appointment. Another cycle of frantic phone calls later, and we were all set for  both appointments.

Our first OBGYN appointment was pretty basic...
Pee in a cup
Physical
Discuss my symptoms

We were hoping to get a sonogram, but apparently 4 weeks just isn't far enough along to see our little one.

That's right I said 4 weeks! This means my due date is officially NOVEMBER 12, 2012.

We left the doctors office finally believing this dream of ours had come true....

We are becoming parents.

Now we anxiously await our next appointment in 4 weeks where we will have our first sonogram done.
We can't wait to see our little one and to confirm everything thing is going as planned in there.

Until then we just dream.....
