19 Weeks!

I really would like to document some of the things I have experienced through this pregnancy.

I will be 19 weeks tomorrow.. Almost half-way there or if I go early than it could be sooner.. weird

I found out I was pregnant on Monday May 30th with a positive pregnancy test! (Memorial Day)
After taking probably over 20 tests over the past 2 years I didn't know what to think because it was a faint pink plus sign. Luckily it was positive

That night we went and purchased a First Response that would be easier to read.
(I had to wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and took the test about 4 am and it was positive! I was so excited I couldn't fall back asleep! I stayed up and googled everything baby)

I wanted to wait until after our first appointment to tell everyone but I told a few people before because if I was alone with them I couldn't keep it in especially because they had known I had been trying for so long. Luckily everything has turned out great and baby boy has been healthy!

I have not thrown up once during this pregnancy and basically forget that I'm pregnant sometimes because I have felt so amazing. Thanks little guy =-) Maybe I'll have my own show of 19 kids and counting??  HaHa NOT!

Since about 13 Weeks I have been experiencing Sciatic Nerve pain in my back and legs so if you ever see me limping around that is why! I find myself getting it when I've been working at the salon standing all day. I am interested to see how doing hair will go as my belly grows?

I am pretty sure I felt Little boys kick at about 17 weeks and if I am right I now feel him kick about 3-5 times a day I can't wait till Jay D can feel him kicking.

At our last appointment it was so cool to see him moving around and actually looking like a little baby than just a bean. He was kicking his legs and moving around it was so sweet.

We set up our crib on Saturday and it felt so surreal. I never thought I would be doing that it always seemed so far away. l

All in all I am so grateful I have felt so amazing during this pregnancy I don't handle sickness very well at all! The last time I threw up was my Junior year in high school. I hardly ever get sick so I am grateful I haven't had to experience it. I know all of you mommies who were sick probably hate me so I am sorry. I thought for sure I would be way sick because both of my sisters were really sick during their pregnancy's.


Getting everything together


The finished product =-) I love it!

My handsome husband who put it together (I helped)


So many of you suggested some great suggestions.. I was so confused what to do!
I ended up getting this travel system. It is new and is light weight and not as big as the normal travel system strollers. It is easy to put up and down and adjustable handle. Ventilation in the back of the stroller so the baby doesn't get all sweaty and I really liked the coverage it had so you can completely cover the baby when he is sleeping but has a little peep thing so I can check on him! I am way excited and we got it for 25% off =-)
