*10 Weeks*

Today was our first ultrasound!
I have been driving myself a little crazy lately waiting for this day. I can not tell you how overwhelmingly beautiful and amazing it was to be able to see our baby moving around! It's all becoming very real :)

We found out our due date is August 25, 2013. The heartbeat was strong and our baby was already movin around like crazy!

I am already head over heels for this little one. I'm SO excited!!
 Following some of the cutest pregnancy blogs, Im hopping on the chalkboard bus. Unfortunately, I started off with this one upside down so i couldn't hang it haha! Next time!

 



How far along? 10 weeks 1 day!
Total weight gain/loss? gained about 2 pounds
Maternity clothes? not yet! ive actually toned up all over, so i can fit into my smaller clothes
Stretch Marks? nope
Sleep? Yesterday I slept for 5 hours randomly during the day. Otherwise I've got a lot of energy back!
Best moment this week? Seeing our baby!!! Seeing the heartbeat and the body..no words!
Told family/friends? Our close family/friends and our bridal parties :) .
Miss anything? Coffee. bad!
Movement? Nothin that I can feel!
Food cravings? I almost cried the other day because I wanted a Chili's salad SOO bad. I never eat there so that was weird. But it was like heaven when I finally got it!
Nausea?  Only at night.
Started showing yet? A little bit! Just enough for me to notice :)
Gender prediction? A lot of the family thinks we're having a boy! Andrew's still determined it's a girl.
Labor signs? Nope
Belly button in or out? In
Happy or moody? Today, ECSTATIC!!!
Weekly wisdom: Let GOD take this! I'm really bad with anxiety anyways, but through this pregnancy I'm truly realizing that He is in control of the ENTIRE universe!! Knowing that and truly trusting in Him, He has given me such a sense of calm and peace.
Looking forward to? Finding out the sex! And telling all of our friends :)
