The First 25 weeks
Since I am just starting this blog, I am going to go back and "remember" the first 25 weeks of this pregnancy. Bret and I always knew we wanted children but we also decided that we wanted at least one year of "us" time in our marriage. We decided that we would wait a year and then start trying. We have been in the process of remodeling our house and I knew that the Spring and Summer of 2009 would bring the most work and we would actually get to the basement and upstairs. My thinking all along would be that we would be set and it would be perfect if it took a few months and then got pregnant in December/January then the baby would be born in August/ September, plenty of time to see progress with the house. I should of know the whole time that my timing is not God's timing.
On October 13th, 2008, our first anniversary, I had a hunch so I took a prego test. I was nervous and excited at the same time, probably more nervous that excited at that point, knowing the house situation. That night, I told Bret, he was excited and made me less nervous. We decided we wouldn't tell anyone until after the first doctor's visit. Well after keeping it to myself for two days, I had to tell at least the families. We then told the parents that Sunday. I made a shirt for our dog Jet that read "Only Child" crossed out and " Big Brother" underneath. I also printed cloth diapers with " I love Grandma & Grandpa" on them. Everyone was super excited and did a GREAT job keeping it a secret until Thanksgiving.
My first doctor's appointment was November 25th. Bret came along with me and we were able to hear the heart beat, super exciting! It was around 170 beats per minute. I was lucky and was never really sick but I did have to be sure to eat every 2 hours so that I didn't feel like my stomach was turning inside out. That feeling ended around week 13. My second dr. appt. was December 31st and I actually lost five pounds at the visit. I have no idea how I lost weight during Christmas but somehow it happened and I wasn't to sad about it :) Baby "s" heartbeat was in the 150's again.
The second trimester came and I have felt great except the whole feeling fat thing but I have a good reason so I am going with it :)
January 26th was our ultrasound! What an awesome experience! Bret went with me and we found out it was a healthy baby BOY! On January 28th, week 19, I was sitting at my desk and knew I felt the baby move. It was awesome, I didn't feel it often so I know that is what it was but in the following weeks he has become a kicker and puncher.


Week 20 is when I actually felt prego and a belly was growing big. My next dr. appt the baby "S" was still at 150 per minute and I have gained a total of 7 pounds . On February, 22nd Bret was able to feel him kick for the first time. Below is the pictures of the progress of Baby "S"
