So, as many of our friends and family know already (we had a very hard time holding the good news in)… we’re expecting our first baby! We’re so excited! On January 22nd I drove to the New Hanover County Sheriff’s office and pulled Alex out of work. He knew almost immediately. He laughed, I cried—not surprising. Being the natural control freak that I am, I took five pregnancy tests (yes, all positive) and made an immediate appointment with my primary physician. The doc walked in, the first words out of his mouth were: “Well, Marie… you’re six for six.” We were able to hold in the announcement until just recently, though. :)
As of Friday, April 8th, I am 16 weeks pregnant. I felt the baby move for the first time a couple of days ago. It’s so strange, like you have bubbles in your belly or something… but it’s been fun. Thank God the first trimester is over! That was an awful experience…. I was sick, tired, nauseous… you name it.
Now we’re on to the fun stuff! I have a little baby bump goin’ on… and I broke down and bought some maternity clothes. Of course anyone who knows me knows that they’re still trendy and girly. I can’t walk around looking anything less! ;) It’s so much fun to watch the baby belly grow, though. It reassures us that our baby is growing strong and healthy. Thus far, we have had two ultrasounds. Our little one is full of energy already. Both times he/she was moving all over the place! It’s SO much fun; the ultrasounds are the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life.
The next big day is April 28th—when we find out the sex! We’ll post again soon :D
