An Unexpected Visitor Last Night

Lucas has been gone in Nevada since June 15th, but was planning on being home on Friday. He informed me that they would be flying back to San Diego on Monday just to fix a plane, but then they would have to head back to Nevada. It was like a tease for me since I knew he was so close, but he would be leaving shortly. Since the part for the plane wasn't going to be in till this morning, Lucas got to come home for the night last night. It was so nice to just have him show up expectedly. I missed him and glad I got to spend a couple hours with him before he departed! Can't wait till Friday!

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to my amazing father who I have always looked up to since I can remember...guess you can say I am a daddy's girl! My dad helped me out so much throughout my life whether it was with school (always with math problems!) or with softball or basketball. He put in all the blood sweat and tears I did as well I and I thank him for that! He really is the best dad a girl could ask for.
And Happy Father's Day to Lucas, who is a soon to be daddy. I know he is going to be the best dad this little one could ask for!
To all the dad's and future dads out there, happy fathers day!!!!!!

Just Shy Of 4 Months

I had to take this myself because Lucas isn't here to help me! :) I am just about 4 months...

Second Appointment Update

I have to admit I was a little too overly nervous for my doctors appointment today. Lucas wasn't able to make it and I knew I was going to be getting back some lab work, and it is hard not to think about the possible bad news...but that is the worry wart I am!
My checkup went very well! I am pleased that I have only gained 2 pounds so far (feels like 22!). All my blood work came back negative so no sweat there! I got to hear the heartbeat of the baby and it is a sound that will never get old and it brought me so much reassurance and happiness. I only wish I could have shared it with someone, but next time! I was happy and excited to hear that we have to wait just 3 more weeks to find out the sex!! I can hardly keep my emotions in check right now, because I am so ready to get prepared buying the whole baby section out of Target ;) It will feel more real when we can put a name to this little peanut. This is all feeling so surreal still, but it will change soon. I'm still not showing very much yet, but I will post pictures soon!

Teale Photography Outcome

We finally got our pictures back from our little photo shoot that we did and they turned out a little better then expected. There had to be at least 1 good one out of the 200 pictures we got back! :) Here is just a little taste of our shoot and if you would like prints or see more, let me know and I will be more than happy to send them to you!

Entering The Second Trimester

We are offically out of the scary first trimester where I hear most of the miscarrages happen and I am glad about that! Now we are embarking on a whole new trimester full of even more surprises! I am anxious to find out what we are having although many of you are saying it is going to be a girl. Either way we are fully prepared to deal with the monster in hand and just want to have a healthy baby no matter what the sex. My morning sickness has completely gone away and I am VERY happy about that! The first trimester was very hard on me being sick more days than feeling well, which has made it hard to work out. I have trying to get back on track of staying fit so I don't get to be a whale! :) We have our second appointment coming up so I am anxious to hear what they have to say and know that everything is well. It is the not knowing that has been bothering me. No I am not being a worry wart, I just want to know that "it" is growing and developing the way "it" should. Thats all! :) We love our baby so much already, can only imagine how much we will love it when he or she arrives!

Kind Of Lame, But Oh Well

This is kind of lame, but it just goes to show how excited we are to become parents. We are no longer in the 200's for our countdown, but offically have entered the 100's in terms of how much longer we have. I feel like time is flying by and before I know it, I will be changing diapers, getting so sleep and getting spit up all over me...ohh the joys of being a mother! :) But hey, I can't wait! Just a little bit of excitement I wanted to share!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

First Appointment Down

Lucas and I went to our first appointment today! I was so nervous with all they did to me (no details, trust), but most of you are fully aware of what was done. BUT, I made it out alive and we got to see our little peanut. It is amazing to see the hands, feet, heart beating, head, etc. Even though it should have hit me at THAT point, it still hasn't, that is person is growing inside of me. Once I start showing it will feel more real I suppose. So I am further then I thought, 11 weeks today and the expected due date is December 9th! That's all I know for now, another appointment is scheduled for 4 weeks from today so we should know more then!
