Well, I am officially 8 weeks along and some days it feels like we just found out and others like we have known for a long time.
We were lucky enough to have another ultrasound yesterday and it was pure bliss. Let me just say the time it takes the doctor to take all the appropriate measures feels like an eternity, he was so quiet and then he turned the screen and we saw this squirmy little precious thing. He said everything looks perfect and is where it should be and the heartbeat was a strong and beautiful 175bpm. We are looking at an estimated due date of August 24th!
We are just thrilled!

I figured I would finally share a belly pic, please excuse the horrendous post shower face and hair lol. This little one is certainly making their presence known, for the first few hours of every morning I am down for the count. I have to eat crackers before I can even get out of bed. Usually once 11am hits I feel pretty good and get some stuff done.
I have a few food aversions, anything with a red pasta sauce is not happening and most ice creams aren't agreeing with me. However, french fries, mashed potatoes, popcorn, and fruit popsicles are pure joy haha.
I can no longer fit into my jeans, I used the belly band a few times but it's so uncomfortable that I opt for yoga pants or maxi dresses. I know right now most of it is bloating but there is certainly a bump. :) Kyle is still picking up a lot of slack when it comes to cooking and cleaning, it has been amazing.
SO exciting!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember the waiting for the dr to find the baby to feel like an eternity, but once you see your little babe and hear the heartbeat it's the most glorious site and sound ever!
ReplyDeleteYay 8 weeks, so exciting! You look great, lady! Hope morning sickness goes away soon!
ReplyDeleteYay!! I hope you feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Today was a good day which was so nice.
DeleteAww, I am still just over the moon excited for you guys!! Love your little bump! Also, red pasta sauce was my biggest aversion the ENTIRE time, but luckily I'm back to eating it now! :)
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOO exciting! Can't wait to hear more about your journey as it goes! Enjoy every second of this!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Congratulations on your little one! Best wishes on a safe and healthy pregnancy and baby. I haven't blogged for a super long time and thought of you today. Things look like they're going well. :-)
ReplyDeleteAww thank you! I appreciate it so much!
DeleteGlad to hear things are going well.
ReplyDeleteLook at your little belly!! So sweet! My sister could only eat white foods in her first trimester - potatoes, rice, etc. Otherwise, she was terribly ill. I always felt so bad for her
ReplyDeleteYour little bump is so adorable!!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! It's crazy how our bodies differ so much from one another during pregnancy! I was bloated, but didn't really get a little pooch until 12 weeks. The bellyband can definitely be annoying, but I'm still sporting it with jeans...although I did buy some maternity jeans the other day and they're actually cute and fit well! I still can't really do red sauce either and I usually love ice cream but it still doesn't sound appealing at all! Perhaps you're having a little girl, too?! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome! So glad that you are measuring right on track and that sweet baby has such a strong heartbeat!! I hope you feel some relief on the sickness front, but I love how you are just so happy to be carrying this little miracle no matter what the symptoms!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!! It's all super exciting! You look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks friend!!! :)
DeleteAwesome! Keeping you in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteEvery appointment is so exciting!! I remember with my girls I had to keep crackers by my bed at all times because that is the only thing I could keep down. I say soak it all up and relax. ha! :)
