BABY B (5 weeks)

Dear itty bitty baby,

I can't believe you are actually growing in my belly. I have prayed about you many times and God has blessed us. We found out at 4 weeks. It was Friday, June 26. I ended up taking the day off after waking up to a doggy mess from your fur sis Stella. She was having a very rough week but all is well. I had been feeling extremely tired that week, random mood swings (more than usual) and was obviously late. It was so weird I was just having weird twinges and kept telling myself she was going to show up. Your daddy and I have been training for a 15k in September so I thought that was the delay. I finally decided to just go get a test. I got home and soon after Travis pulled in from work. I went and took the test and to my surprise it came up immediately positive. I was extremely shocked with excited and fear. I rushed downstairs to tell Travis the news that we were expecting. At first he didn't believe me but I decided I didn't believe me either. So..I ventured to get two more tests just to be sure. After a short trip and self check out later, I was staring at 3 POSITIVE tests in front of my face telling me the news I have been anxiously wanted to hear. 

Today I am 5 weeks 7-1-15. We still have to wait quite awhile before announcing your existence. We have yet to tell very many people but have plans in the next few weeks to tell all your grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It's been a crazy lately especially on my side of the family. Your big cousin Madelyn was born a week ago. I am so excited that you will have a cousin the same distance as me. Cousins are the best. My mom told my aunt at the hospital that she was pregnant with me. So we were just a week off from knowing you were in my tummy. 

Symptoms: Extremely tired. I could literally go take a nap at anytime of the day. I am hungry all the time but nothing sounds good in particular. I don't feel too much nausea yet but I know it's too soon to tell. All the blogs I read say to get ready in the next couple weeks.

We have your first Dr. Appointment July 24. It will be the first time we hear your heartbeat and see you for the first time. I am sure to have much more to report later on. 

love you little one

XOXO

Your Mommy :)
