A little update on my growing belly...

In case you haven't heard...we're having a GIRL!! I was completely shocked because I totally thought we were having a boy based on Randy's family trend, but we are so happy to break it and bring in the first girl grandbaby!  She is already being so spoiled by my mom, she is so excited to become a grandma!!  

Had her arms above her head, straight on face shot

I am finally feeling like my old self! I started to get really sick right around when I was supposed to start feeling better.  I would throw up everything, it was awful and made my twelve hour day shifts at the hospital miserable! Thankfully this stage only lasted about a month, I'm so happy it's over! I've started working out a little bit, but am still having a hard time getting back into a regular work out routine.  I count my work days as working out since I'm on my feet all day and walking around, but I could for sure do better! 


I started feeling the baby move around 16 weeks and it was amazing!! Randy finally got to feel her kick the morning of our ultrasound at 18 weeks! I love that he can feel her now, I hated it when I was the only one able to experience it! Nowadays I'm enjoying watching my stomach move as she kicks and wiggles around! I absolutely love it so so much! It's such a nice comforting feeling! 


Here are some pics, not the best of me but they show the bump!


20 weeks-not showing as much as I felt like I was! But she sits super low so  maybe that's why I wasn't showing too much.

21weeks, Shows the belly a lot better, but I also felt like I grew a lot that week! First time wearing maternity clothes, LOVED them! Too bad there is absolutely NOWHERE the buy them up here! 

24 weeks! I look a lot bigger than I thought in this one! Definitely having a hard time fitting into normal clothes! It's so frustrating, I'm hoping I can make it until I go to Utah in November for my shower to buy some more clothes! It's starting to get pretty chilly up here which makes my options on clothes even smaller! 

I have a feeling the time is going to go by a lot quicker pretty soon! I go to Utah in a month for my showers and once they are over we have the holidays to keep us busy!! I think before we know it little girl is going to make her appearance!  I've started nesting a little bit and am going to start working on her nursery! I finally made a decision on bedding and was able to get it so we could find a paint color! It's totally not what I was looking for but fell in love! It's from PB Kids and cannot believe how affordable it was! I'll have to get around to posting a pic of it! 


I've started making some stuff for the baby! I made a car seat cover, but need to see how it fits on the car seat before I can make the finishing touches! Today I started making a few headbands and clips! I have a lot more to go but they were super simple and I love how they turned out so far!  I still have some other stuff to work on that I have already gotten all the goods for so I'll try and post some pics of the other stuff I make when I get around to them!

A little off subject but thought I'd share this pic with everyone... I love it! Just shows how big  Thor is getting! He's weighing in at around 115 nowadays and has about another year of growth ahead of him still!

Exciting News!

Randy and I are so excited to announce that we are PREGNANT!

Baby Petrey will be making its debut around January 30, 2012! Yep, day before my birthday!

We had been trying for about a year and a half to get pregnant so I was in complete shock when the test was actually positive for once, it took a little while for it to settle in! We had seen doctors and done testing to see if there was anything wrong with either of us to explain why we weren't getting pregnant when we were trying diligently.  After months of doctors appts. getting pushed back we finally were able to get seen and be prescribed Clomed.  I had to wait till the beginning of my next cycle to start taking it, turns out we finally found out the reason that doctor appt. kept getting pushed back, we were supposed to get pregnant without it!  I was so relieved that I was able to get pregnant on my own with out taking a drug that from what I've heard makes you CRAZY at times!

I was so so nervous to tell Randy, I haven't been that nervous in a really long time!  He was on the first day of his two day overnight stretch when I found out so I held out for a day to tell him so I would be able to do it in person.  When he's at work I always bring him dinner, and I'm not that creative so I just put a onesie in our take out bag!

When he eventually found the onesie he just looked up and me and stared.  He was so surprised and excited, he also couldn't believe it finally happened!

I am currently 16 weeks along and we get to find out the sex in 2 weeks! I can't believe it's almost here, so crazy! I wasn't too sick my first trimester, the vomiting came mostly my 1st week out of my 1st trimester! It is finally starting to calm down a bit and  I feel like I'm starting to get some of my energy back! All I wanted to do the first three months was sleep and lay on the couch, I was such a bum, I can't imaging having a kid and being pregnant! I'm sure I'll adjust when the time comes, and hopefully I'll feel better the next pregnancy.  I haven't taken any belly shots until now just because I haven't felt like I was really showing, this week it seems to me like I've really started to pop out, well from my view anyway.
