Not our plan....

Hidden baby chronicles weeks 6-12

Writing this I am still in shock. 
We are pregnant. 
I mean, come on, I know HOW this happens, but we were NOT trying. Had not been trying for 3 years.
We had a plan. The plan was to wait until Logan was 4 to start trying that way we would not be killing ourselves financially in daycare costs. 

We had a plan....God had a better one. 

April 26- It was a Saturday, I got up and had my normal Saturday schedule.  Head to the grocery store.  I got up that morning and felt.....different.  Boobs HURT.  Like oh my gosh, it hurts to even wear a bra.  Then I put some pants on and they seemed a little snug. Weird. Then I went to pour my morning cup of coffee and I about puked.  For those who know me, I LOVE coffee! Hmmm.
I am pregnant.  I knew it.  My period was not late but it would have been in a few days.  So while at the grocery store I bought a cheap pregnancy test, even though I knew what the result would be. 

I would have been shocked if it was negative.  I just stood in the bathroom and cried.  Happy tears of course.  Logan heard me and ran in and said "What's wrong mama, don't cry, you are a big girl."
My sweet boy.  I told him mommy had a baby in her belly and he wanted to "see" and tried to lift up my shirt.  :) It was so cute. 
Well my husband was out of town at a cook off event, so I called him and told him over the phone. I could not wait until he came home to tell him! There was no way I could not tell him if I talked to him! He was happy and said he "had a feeling" I was. 

May 2-Off to my parents house to drop Logan off for the weekend while we went to a wedding.  I had gone to Kohl's and bought a shirt for Logan to wear.  My mom's reaction was priceless.  They are super excited and of course think it is a girl, we will see. 

May 7th: first doctors appointment.  Baby measured about 6 weeks and a few days.  We even saw that little heart fluttering at 114 BPM.  It was amazing.  If we did the math correct we are due end of December.  My doctor says my uterus is very small and that is why I had Logan 3 weeks early, so it will likely be the same for this one too.  So probably mid December.
 

As far as feeling, I am tired and hungry.  I also already have a significant bump.  I told the doctor to make sure there was only one in there, and he said there was.  I have gained 6 pounds.  I did not show with Logan until about 16 weeks.  Here I am at 6 weeks and I am in maternity clothes! I don't care, give me a healthy baby and that is ok with me!
We call the baby "B" for baby. It has nothing to do with what we will name him/her.  Logan has not asked or shown interest in B. I guess he will when I get bigger. 
Yes, we already have names picked out.  First and middle for boy and girl.   We won't be paying the name game until we find out the sex, which will not be until August, maybe even at the July appointment. My mom wants to know the name SO bad!

 May 20th:8 week appointment

Looking like a baby now! Heartbeat was 164 BPM.  Everything on track and looking good! Even though I have gone through this before, it still amazes me.....and terrifies me.  Bryan never could make the early doctors appointments with Logan, so when he saw the baby and heard the heartbeat he shed a tear or two.  It was sweet. 

Pictures of me, yes I was showing at 9 weeks! Look at that bump!!

9 weeks-major bloating going on here!

10 weeks

11 weeks

June 19th: 12 week appointment

 

B is measuring 12 weeks 3 days! Heartbeat was 162 BPM.  Little bean was moving around like crazy! Our doctor is awesome and since we were the last appointment, he took extra time and got some really good pictures of this little one.  As far as how I am feeling, I feel lots better! Less tired, but have had a few spells of morning sickness this week.  I got morning sickness with Logan at 12 weeks also. 

 

12 weeks

We have realized that we can plan all we want to, but His plan is all that matters.  We are beyond excited about this little one to join our crazy family in December.  Prayers appreciated. We are still trying to figure out daycare and what that will look like. But we have faith that everything will work out!  Keep on growing B, we love you more than you know!
