My Eggo is Preggo

Surprise…. I'm pregnant!!!! Just kidding, I'm pretty sure everybody already knew that.

Today I am a little over 15 weeks along, which would make my due date April 19th! I am praying that the little bugger decides to come a few days late, otherwise I might have him/her during finals…not fun.

The symptoms I've had so far:

Nausea (like all day, every day)

Vomiting

Exhaustion (for the first few months, I slept like 18 hours a day)

Runny nose

Sneezing (It's called Pregnancy Rhinitis, apparently)

Cramping

Having to pee every 10 seconds

Cravings (In-N-Out fries animal style and red meat pretty much every day)

Gas (sorry its TMI, but its true. This is Chance's favorite symptom haha)

Bloating

Sore back

Sore boobs

Break outs all over my face, back, and chest

My hair growing way faster

Mood swings (I cry about everything- we having been watching the old seasons of Grey's Anatomy, and I cry every. single. episode.)

Forgetfulness (Just ask Chance, I forget everything)

Pretty much every other symptom you can think of, I've had it.

The first trimester was super hard. I had no idea pregnancy was gonna be like this. Luckily I can already start to feel my body changing and I have more energy. I'm still not showing really at all, which is pretty lame. I'm just hoping that it means I won't pop out too much later on, which means less stretch marks. I hope.

Everything looked good at our first ultrasound at 9 weeks. It looks like there is only one baby in there (there better be only one).

Here is our little blob

Me getting the ultrasound! I'm putting my hands like that because the sheet was see-through

Me at 8 weeks

Me at 15 weeks

Yeah, there isn't much difference

We will find out the sex at the beginning of December (21 weeks) Secretly I am hoping its a boy, but a girl would be great too.

Funny story- The other night, Chance and I were going to go shopping, and I was starving. Being starving at the grocery store while pregnant= serious nausea, so I decided to open a can of pears before we left. I wasn't paying attention (since I forget everything nowadays), and I sliced my finger open on the top of the can. After some phone calls to Bill and my mom, we decided to head to the ER. After three hours there, we finally went home. I got three stitches and a numbed finger. It was not a fun experience.

Here's me with my bandaged finger

You may have noticed that I am wearing the same outfit that I am in the ultrasound picture. That's cause it happened on the same day. Two hospital visits in one day!

Anyway, we are super excited for this baby and can't wait till April!!
