Kiss Me!…. This BABY is going to be Irish!

Your probably asking yourself, did I hear that right? Am I thinking what I think she is saying? Well if you don’t already know our little secret we are now ready to tell the world….WE ARE EXPECTING!!  And we are very excited!

This one actually came as a surprise to us.  We were “trying but not trying” for some time and for a while there I kind of gave up hope and told myself to focus on school and when I graduated we could look further into this whole getting pregnant thing.  Well to my surprise I took a pregnancy test late one night and this is what I saw:

I ended up telling the Hubby and told myself “yeah right, this isn’t real” but immediately started crying as I was full of emotions.  So I figured I would take another one the next morning as that is when they say your hormones are the highest for the day.  Well….I took another one and not even a minute later this little bad boy popped up again telling me I was in fact pregnant!

Lot’s of emotions were running through mine and Andrew's head that day and night but once it finally sunk in (which I am not sure if it will until I feel this little one actually kick me) I was totally ok with not being done with school and expecting a little one (thanks Carrie for making me take the test!!).

So what do you do when you find out you are pregnant?  You call your doctor and make the ultrasound appointment!  Andrew and I met with the Nurse Practitioner and got to see our little one for the first time on March 6th!

Our little one had a healthy heartbeat of 184!

Love this one! We actually got to see our little one’s face and it’s little arm nub was blocking part of “her” face being camera shy like “her” momma!

So I am sure you are wondering our stats right now!  Today I am 11 weeks pregnant exactly!  Our weeks re-up every Saturday and our due date is October 6th!  I have had morning sickness pretty much every single morning and this first Trimester has been very, very rough!  I cannot wait to enter the 2nd Trimester in hopes that this morning sickness goes away!  Our next appointment is on April 2nd and I cannot wait to hear our little one’s heartbeat again!

I think we are having a girl and Andrew is hoping for a boy.  Either way, we want a healthy baby but for some reason I really think I am holding a little girl in there (hence the “she” instead of “it”).

What I think I am most excited about….Finding out the gender of our little one on our 4th Wedding anniversary!  I will be 1 day short of 21 weeks so I am hoping the doctor will let me pick that day to schedule the ultrasound.  Fingers crossed!

Alright, enough for now!  We are SO excited to meet our little one is less than 7 months or 29 weeks!

Have a great St. Patrick’s Day everyone!  I know we will!
