Surprise!


This is our baby at 11 weeks! That's right- WE"RE HAVING A BABY! I'm 12 weeks (3 months) along and we are so excited!!! The baby is due July 4th! You all can celebrate our baby's birth with fireworks!

We find out at my next appointment if it's a boy or a girl- I'll be sure to let you all know when we find out!

I've had a pretty great pregnancy so far! I have not been sick hardly AT ALL! I've never been as tired as I have been these last 12 weeks but I will take that over morning sickness any day!

Here's a picture of my belly at 12 weeks.



You can't hardly tell a huge difference just yet but I sure can! I can't button any of my pants and I have discovered this amazing invention called Bella Bands. Pictured below



You can wear your pants unbuttoned and no one will ever know because the Bella Band goes over the top of your pants at the waist! They're great because I'm not quite ready to go into maternity clothes just yet but my pants sure are getting tight at the waist!

Anyway, more posts on baby will follow. Since this in our first, I'll probably bore you with a ton of details that you may or may not care about! Just indulge me!

Yay for announcing it! You'll have to let us know how you like the bella bands throughout. I have heard mixed things about them. I'm anxious for your take!

I confess, I've known about this for a while now (Miss Em is my little bird) but I'm sooooo excited for you! I will relish every detail bc I need all the info I can get for when my time comes...in a few years of course =). Congrats! I hope it's a girl bc I want to use how adorably you will dress her, or him, either way. So happy for u!

Congrats, you look great!! I look like a whale and still have at least two more months to go, but I will take a big baby over a little one anyday!

I am so HAPPY!!!!! Now that you announced it, I can blog about it :) I am so happy! I have the baby's picture at my desk and I wrote a note on it saying I am going to be an Aunt! I did not realize it was coming on the 4th of July, I thought it was on the 7th so that is good to know. I of course want lots of details on your blog so I can feel apart of it!!!! I cry everytime I think about how I am going to be an Aunt! I go to the stores and I just want to buy everything baby (especially if its a girl!) I am so thrilled and can't wait to see you next week. I am so glad you have not had morning sickness very often! I love ya :)

congrats...I'm so thrilled for you both!! I can't wait to know what the gender is. I think it's a boy, I usually am wrong. I'm so glad you don't have morning sickness that is not fun at all, I'm not looking forward to that when I have another one.
