I don't think that blogging is my forte. My posts seem to come in months not days, but I will get everyone caught up fairly quickly.
MAY
First comes LOVE, then comes MARRIAGE, then comes BABY in the baby carriage!!! What a wonderful Mother's Day I had! We found out that I was pregnant the day before Mother's day, so it made Mother's day very special for us and our Mothers (soon to be Grandmothers :) The first couple of weeks was pure bliss. I felt great and quite boastful that I may not get sick. Well, I was surely humbled around week 6. Memorial Day weekend is when it all started---Nassau 24/7, ALWAYS tired, eating constantly, and check everything else on the list that happens to pregnant women the first trimester. Eric is having a lot of fun watching me go through this awkward phase. He has become very protective of me and wants to get me EVERYTHING I am craving. He is bound and determined not to gain weight with me and I have to say he is doing a great job. He has lost 25 pounds since the beginning of the year and he has gone to the gym way more than me.
JUNE
I HATE being pregnant. I never thought I would say that, but the month of June was miserable. ALWAYS nauseated, nothing and everything sounded good, slept over 11 hours a night, not being able to go to the gym, my chest all of a sudden looks "fuller" and so does my middle section--no belly yet, just softer :) Eric had a great Father's Day. I got him some Baby/Father books that I am not for sure if he enjoyed, but I am not his father, so the real gifts come next year. We were able to see the baby and heartbeat for the first time on June 9th. I cried of course! It was truly amazing.
Our garden is growing like crazy and we are already reaping the rewards. Below is a progression of our garden:
JULY
I am feeling so much better and nearing the end of the my first trimester. I was finally able to have my doctor's appointment. It was so strange to me when I found out I was pregnant I was told that the doctor doesn't need to see me until around week 12. Because I am such a control freak,that did not sit well with me. I just had to know if I had a little one inside of me and if everything was ok. After talking with the nurse, we were able to have the ultra sound back in June for my peace of mind. Let me tell you--that made such a difference! So anyways, it was great to see the doctor. She was awesome and did another ultrasound. Everything looks great, LJ (little Jones) seems to be doing fine. LJ was sucking his finger in one of the shots--it was SOOOOO cute!
We had a great 4th of July up at Eric's Mom's house.
Eric painted his mom's deck
Cooled off by jumping into the Ocean
We did lots of crabbing...yum!!
Eric and his Dad made homemade Fireworks...I wasn't a fan!
And relaxed with a whole lot of these.
