im not fat, im pregnant =)

so most everyone has heard by now, but i thought i should write a little bit about the pregnancy and what's been going on with all of it. i recently stopped feeling sick every day so that's been a beautiful thing! i actually only got sick sick like 4 or 5 times but just felt gross for about 2 months and now im over it i think. i have been fine the past three nights, oh by the way, i have night sickness, not morning. so now im just getting anxious because in four weeks from today we get to find out the gender of the baby and im so excited to know! most all my friends have recently had girls or are having girls soon so im wondering if a boy is even in the mix, i suppose we will see very soon! i haven't yet "popped" so its kind of weird because i know im pregnant but dont really feel pregnant nor look it. i sorta look, outta shape, basically. its kind of unattractive i have to say. i am glad that i feel better now because i have so missed going to the gym and getting to work out. i just like the sense of accomplishment i feel when im like, hey, i worked out today. i just need that back.

so as of right now i am 15 weeks and 5 days along. we are due October 7th. its sorta funny because all my sisters have october kiddies and now im part of the cool group too! yea! i have taken some "belly pictures" but like i said there isnt much going on down there yet. but i am sooooo excited. i have wanted to be a mom pretty much since i was in like 6th grade. i remember telling my friend deidre in high school that i didnt care if i ever got married i just wanted to have a baby and raise a family of chittlins. then i fell in love and wanted justin all to myself, but NOW i am so ready for us to start our family and i cant wait to see justin as a dad, i know he will be incredible. he has already been so helpful with me at the house just making dinner and doing my laundry. ive been pretty lazy and worthless at home for the past two months, but like i said, i feel like myself again so hopefully it will change, at least for a little while. well thats all the news for now i suppose. ill keep you all posted!

So glad you posted an update. I am happy to hear that the nausea is easing up...mine is too, hopefully for good. I hear that people who have strong ab/stomach muscles take longer to show...so that must mean you're workouts paid off =) Which says alot for me, because my pooch has made itself known and I'm only 11 weeks...yikes, haha.

I pray everything continues to go well!!!
