these were supposed to go...

with the birth story but i forgot... oh well here they are now.

i love drugs and popcicles!

Chris waiting for some action

This is where K will go when she gets here!

WHOA! there she is!

it's truly a miracle i hope you all experience!

I really believe God blessed the person who...

Invented the Snoogle!!! What is a Snoogle you might ask? No it's not a designer dog... it's the most amazing pregnancy pillow EVER and it makes sleep possible!

That's MY SNOOGLE!!! It's quite amazing! I slept sooo good in its snuggly goodness! The only thing i would change is the sandpaper cover... i might have to wrap one of my own pillow cases around the top least i wake up with carpet burn on my face... i've really been spoiled with UBER soft sheets! I can't explain WHY this pillow helps so much in my early stage, all i can say it does! It helps my back to feel better, my hip joints and plus i LOVE to snuggle! I couldn't believe how rested i felt this morning~

On to other things... I'm in maternity pants! Yeah weird I KNOW! But the bloat is KILLING me in regular pants and the bella band is just not quite working out like i hoped... i will still try to use it on work pants... BUT my good friend Melody has supplied me with 3 pairs of Jeans, a pair of Cords, a pair of cargo Khakis, and a pair of black pants and it's WONDERFUL! Buddy (that's what i've taken to calling little bean after the movie Elf where the main character is Buddy the Elf) was just not happy being smooshed so i gave in and i'm giving him (b/c according to Chris we ARE having a boy) more room~

So here's what's going on in Buddy's world... He's the size of a  poppy seed!

The ball of cells that will develop into Buddy has completed its journey from my fallopian tube to my uterus. Once settled in its new home, it will undergo the great divide — splitting into two groups. Half will become Buddy, while the other half forms the placenta, Buddy's lifeline until delivery. The multilayered embryo then begins to grow into specialized parts of his body. The inner layer, known as the endoderm, will develop into his digestive system, liver, and lungs. The middle layer, called the mesoderm, will soon be Buddy's heart, sex organs, bones, kidneys, and muscles. The outer layer, or ectoderm, will eventually form his nervous system, hair, skin, and eyes.

Gotta tell you all this "building" is tiring!

Wow, April Fools on me!

So as you know i was SOOO sure i wasn't pregnant... thought i even had spotting that mysteriously went away. So i planned on testing again on Friday if AF (aunt flow) didn't rear her ugly head BUT Chris's mom is coming over on Friday and IF i was pregnant i didn't want her to be around when i told Chris... so i was going to test Today (Thursday) BUT as all of you know i'm not soo good with being patient so i waited for Chris to leave for work and tested.

UM POSITIVE! Wait What Really? okay hold on let me rub my eyes... WOW REALLY? Maybe it's a dud, or my pee got stuck there... hmmmm. Okay that's cool i have a back up test better use that.... doot doot do do... WOW That ones pretty pink too! hmmm... this might be real! HAHA, Wow...hmmm NEED A DIGITAL! CRAP! It's only 6AM! Walmart isn't open until 8!! That's cool i can shower and stuff..

Showered, cried as i prayed to God promising to take care of this little bean, watched some TV... doot doot do do

YES time to go! Go to Walmart, get said test, pick up some bibs too (to tell Daddy and some Grandparents)... go home Pee again (oh yeah having a bladder ALWAYS full a pee since i was born is REALLY coming in handy now! Waiting... watching the flashing hour glass... flashing flashing (COULD IT JUST STOP ALREADY) BAM! Pregnant! HAHAHA Wow... guess this is true!

The lines actually look darker in person, it's just the flash washing them out. So don't worry I AM pregnant.

OKay now i REALLY have to stay home from work b/c i KNOW if i go in I WILL tell someone and then Chris won't be the first! Well super! Now i can get a pedicure and go sit in one of those massage chairs where they can REALLY work on my back poop muscles that are KILLING ME! AHhhh... i'm almost worried i'm going to start moaning it feels so good, but i hold it in least they never let me sit in the magical chair again.

Next to the florist... Why do people think you're weird when you want to buy all the babys breath they can spare? PEOPLE! So i tell her why... CRAP now Chris isn't the first... uhhh!

Decorate the kitchen and WAIT... and WAIT... He calls, he's coming... WAIT.... WAIT... FINALLY! He's Here! and this is what he sees when he walks in:Notice the creativity with the colors of water since we don't know what we're getting yet~ OOH YEA! Chris's reaction "Already, Really? You're sure? WOW? No i AM happy! WOW! I TOLD you it would happen right away"

We then proceeded to call my parents (b/c i couldn't wait the week and a half until i was to see them) and go to his parents house to tell them. We'll have wonderful memories now of shock, surprise, tears, and smiles!

God bless our little Elf and Please keep him safe!
