Franzie Has Tiny Hands?

Wednesday morning I had an appointment. It was the first one I went by myself, so all the waiting was quite boring. I saw Dr. Franz this visit and he was super nice. I had heard about his strange small hands, so when he shook my hand I made sure to take notice! Haha! They were rather small and stumpy and were kind of sideshow looking. I hear his vaginal "inspection" is not so comfortable. Luckily this was just a check up. I haven't gained any weight yet and Franzie said I could gain up to 30 pounds!! No chance Franzie!!! I do need to get into a good exercise routine though. As soon as it was time to find the heartbeat it popped right up. I was so relieved. It was in the 160's so nice and strong. We go next month on the 18th to find out the sex! We are so so excited and can hardly wait. We have no clue what we will be having. I think though we have already decided on names (quite amazing it happened so quick! Lol)but who knows they could always change!! I have been feeling pretty good although brushing my teeth is still a challenge. Headaches are getting better and energy is picking up a bit. I am thankful to be having pregnancy symptoms, so I know my little peanut is growing. I will be 14 weeks tomorrow and am excited to officially usher in the second trimester!! I will see Dr. McKinney (my ob) in four weeks. Super stoked for each passing month!! Now we are busy getting ready for the holidays!!

P.s. my little brother and his girlfriend have decided on the name Madelyn Ann! She is going to be so cute and perfect!!

P.s.s. Alexis finally came out with her news and I am excited to say she is my preggo twin!! Lol!! We are both due June 15th! What are the odds!? Congrats Rojas family!!

Christmas Came Early!!

WE ARE PREGNANT!!!!!

I can still hardly believe it. Today makes me 12 weeks and 5 days. We are beyond excited and in disbelief every day! For those of you following this blog, you know the struggles and heartache we have gone through these past two and a half years. I was all set to have my surgery mid November. I was late and had a weird feeling and took a test one morning....two pink lines....I was shocked...Josh brought home a digital....pregnant! I could not believe what I was seeing but there it was plain as day! This baby came all by itself, no meds, no surgery, no intervention...a true gift from God.

My first trimester was not too tough. I had zero energy and did a whole lot of dry heaving of the sink, toilet or a bowl. I threw up one time in the Bank of America parking lot behind the dumpster. Not my classiest moment. Lol

We want to thank every single one of our amazing family members, friends and co-workers who have supported us and prayed for us through all of this. We can't wait to share more of this incredible journey with you all. Our due date is June 15, 2012. Stay tuned..... =)
