Nine Days until our First Year anniversary!!!!
It truly is hard to believe a year has gone by. It has been a year since we got married! I remember thinking about planning our wedding and getting everything ready and nine days before our big day we were a mess! We had so many things to get ready since we had the reception at our house. Everything turned out so wonderful. If I could go back I would have changed the time to a little later since it was SO INCREDIBLY hot that day!
Who would have thought a year from our wedding day we would be pregnant! We will be 12 weeks and 5 days!!!!
Yesterday, we went to our checkup for our Snowbaby. Our Snowbaby was doing really well and had a normal heart rate of 155. We didn't get a ultrasound but hearing that heartbeat was the most precious sound I have ever heard. I can't wait to see our Snowbaby again at the end of July. It will be the middle or end of July when we find out the size of all the organs, brain, and of course find out the gender. Dr Dorn during our first appointment did believe we might be able to see at the end of June however the nurse practitioner- Kelly believes it will be middle or end of July.
My uterus has begun to protrude which Kelly was very happy about. That was the determining factor in hearing the heart beat this early on a doppler. Kelly performed normal screenings on my and concluded everything was fine! She wants me to continue to work in the garden and spend 30-40 minutes walking everyday as well as doing some core strength to strengthen my back and possibly looking into Pre-Natal Yoga.
Josh and I have been working on our garden. We worked very hard yesterday. I slung rocks out a lower field for at least and hour and Josh and I spent another hour or 2 planting 64 pepper plants. Yes, we are planning a community garden that's the reason for so many plants. That and you have plants enough for the deer and other creatures to eat as well! :)
Needless to say I am wore slap out today! I am looking forward to finishing our garden and begin reaping the benefits! I am looking forward to this baby and looking forward to this Sunday after next for our Anniversary!

11 Weeks
Thursday this week we will have another appointment. I am really excited as we will see and fetus this time! Its so exciting to hear the heartbeat hopefully he or she will allow us to hear it!
Prior to this week I have felt very bloated but unable to wear my "normal" fitting clothes. My mom bought a ton of maternity clothes for me that has helped tremendously. I have begun to feel better and don't gag as much. I am able to keep most every meal down, so that is really exciting as well! My skin, however, is a different story. My eczema that was once healed before pregnancy has come back full-force. It has become almost unbearable for me. It's to that point again, pain, discomfort, cracking, peeling, bleeding. I have become fed up and I will be requesting ointment to help me this Thursday. I truly want to have my beautiful skin back!
I have begun to feel what I believe is our little Snowbaby. Josh is very skeptical about it though. He believes its gas. But the jabs are felt right above the pubic bone and sometimes roll horizontally. Of course Josh can't fell these so its hard to make him believe. But seriously I do not believe what I have felt is gas. The jabs I felt were felt while my bladder was VERY FULL. I have heard that can let you feel them better. Since I have never been pregnant before I am entering a unknown world here. You can read and hear others stories about how it feels however its so different explaining what you have felt this baby do inside of you. It truly is the best feeling in the world! I can only imagine how the next few months of kicking and jabbing from our Snowbaby will feel later in the pregnancy.
I have decided since I do not feel as bloated anymore to begin posting pictures of my growing belly. Here are a couple of photos of 11 weeks. Enjoy!
