My Little One <3

Yesterday was one of the most exciting days of my life. My hubby and I got to see our little baby! We also got to hear the heartbeat. It was the most precious thing ever! Up until now, I have been so worried that my baby wasn't ok or that there was something wrong. I am notorious for worrying for no reason, I think it is even worse now that I have another person to take care of. I needed to see my baby though. I needed that reassurance that everything was ok. So when the nurses at my doctor's office said they don't do an ultrasound on the first visit unless there is something wrong, I started freaking out! I was going to see my baby one way or another. Well, in the end, everything worked out because my doctor recommended getting an ultrasound to make sure everything was fine. I love my doc. He made me feel so comfortable and he definitely knows what he's doing.
From the ultrasound, it seems I am 9 weeks and not 10 weeks because of the size of the baby. My baby is just a little tadpole, so cute. The heartbeat was perfect and everything looked great. I was so relieved! They took a video of my baby, and it was cute because it was kicking a little bit. Aww my baby is adorable. I am slowly beginning to understand that love that a mother has for her child. I already love my baby so much. I cannot wait to hold him/her in my arms!

New Beginnings!

Well it's about time! My sister, Magali (thecromarfamily.blogspot.com), has been telling me for months that I should start a blog. However, I just kept making excuses about how I don't have the time, blah blah blah. I don't even have any kids now, if I can't find the time to keep up with a blog now, I don't think I ever will! So, I finally stopped being lame and I just made one. I have a Tumblr but I don't like the layout of it as much as I do a blog.
This isn't going to be a blog about anything in specific. I will probably talk about anything and everything. Hopefully I don't ramble too much. I will also do my best to not be boring. I am going to try to keep up with this and post every so often because I do think it is important to keep a journal of sorts, and a blog can be my internet journal! Yay.
So this is a new beginning for me with my blog, but also a new beginning for my husband and I for a much more important reason. We found out on May 4th, 2011 that I am pregnant with my first baby! It was like 12 am that night/morning and we had just flown in to SLC from our honeymoon. My sister insisted I take a pregnancy test because she was dying to know! Ok...I may have been wanting to know as well haha. I was in denial though and didn't want to believe I was pregnant because I didn't want to get my hopes up and also because I was scared. Well, obviously it came back positive! But, I wanted to make sure, so I took another test in the morning around 8 am and also went to the doctor and well it was definitely confirmed, I was pregnant. I felt so scared and weird and happy all at once. We wanted a baby and had been trying for about a month and we were excited to start a family, but now that I actually am pregnant, all new fears and worries came to me. Is the baby healthy? Will I be a good mother? Am I going to be a fat cow? All valid questions! I am a person that thinks and worries way too much as it is, so now it is multiplied. I just am anxious for my first appointment in a couple of weeks to make sure the baby is healthy and to hear its heart beat! That will be such a great experience. Even though I am in pain and tired a lot, I am so excited for these next 7 months that I will be growing this beautiful baby and then bringing it into this world. I am thankful to my heavenly father for this precious opportunity.
I am about 8 weeks now so I still have a long way to go! My poor husband will have to deal with my ever changing moods for a while longer lol. Well, I am excited to take you on this journey with me! It will be fun :)
