Week 13!

Hello 2nd trimester! I am so excited to welcome  the "easiest trimester." (I hope the rumors are true!) I would like to thank zofran, ginger ale , and preggie pop drops for all their support during the first trimester, but I hope this is goodbye! 

Size of the Baby: Sweet little peach :) 

Gender: I was convinced girl but now I'm leaning towards boy... We'll see in 7 weeks! 

Maternity Clothes:  I haven't made the switch yet but my "fat jeans" have been my go to this week so I'm afraid they are in my near future. 

Nursery: Thanks to awesome "freighbors" we have two cribs to choose from! That is all for now. :) 

Movement: I can't feel anything yet but at our 9 week ultrasound we saw his/her sweet little arm buds wiggling. 

Symptoms: Nausea! And in the beginning I was beyond exhausted which thankfully seems to be going away just in time for me to track back in! Now if I can just shake this morning sickness ...... 

Sleep: Wes loves to tell people: "she doesn't make it past Jeopardy anymore." I am in LOVE with sleep!  Cold, rainy, tracked out days with my snuggly  puppies have been the BEST. 

Cravings: Cherry Limeades from Sonic and Orange Juice with crushed ice make everything better :) 

What I Miss:   Beer. I spent Friday afternoon at a new brewery with all my cousins and I had to drink a Sprite .... That. Was. Painful. 

Best Moments This Week: Telling our friends and family has been so fun! Everyone's reactions have been awesome and we feel so lucky that this sweet little miracle is already so loved by so many people!! The 9 week ultrasound was incredible, seeing our sweet little baby and hearing the heartbeat was unreal. 

Looking Forward To: I'm ready to see a real looking little baby bump so people can stop wondering if I just ate too many cheeseburgers last night! 

How it all began...

 In May 2012 I married the man I'd always hoped and dreamed I would. I fall more in love with him every day because he is funny, loving, and honest (maybe too honest sometimes ;)) My friends and family fall more in love him every day because they finally found the one person in the world who could "squash me"( Although I still don't think I REALLY needed it....) We got married 2 years pre hashtags but my  bridesmaids gave us a wedding tagline that would have made the perfect one, Its about to get Wilder.

In the past *almost* two years things certainly have gotten Wilder ..... 

            

 

Every single day has been an adventure! We've filled our days with family, friends, and wonderful neighbors who have become known as our "freighbors". We've attended concerts, football games, and trips with friends. We've welcomed so many new nieces and nephews and celebrated so many holidays with  family that our hearts have grown so full it feels like they could burst! We have been beyond blessed in this wild life that has become ours. 

One other thing that has changed is on May 18, 2012  when I married Wesley he came with Izzy. On May 18, 2012 I was "not a dog person" Then this happened.......
                        

And so life has gotten "Wilder" or sweeter really. We are so blessed with wonderful friends and family, a beautiful home, and the cutest and sweetest puppies. Just when we really started to think life could not get any better we got a very exciting surprise on Wes' Birthday, January 25 ......... 

   

 

We are so, so, so excited to announce that we are expecting!!! October 4, 2014, again life is "About to get Wilder!"
