15 Weeks Pregnant

Pregnancy is still going strong - Peanut is getting bigger, and starting to show on the outside of my body! I'm going to give a little summary to bring you all up to speed on my pregnancy. 

1st Trimester: 

Expected Symptoms: Morning Sickness, Food Cravings, Food Aversions, Heightened Sense of Smell, Fatigue, Frequent Urination, Acne, Breathlessness, Headaches

Symptoms Amy Experienced:  FATIGUE & APPETITE INCREASE.
Literally, I was STARVING, and had to be eating 100% of the time.

2nd Trimester (so far): 

Absolute heaven. I've already noticed that my energy levels have gone back up, and I can now eat somewhat like a normal person again (Though very recently, I've noticed that my appetite is starting to go back up again). I was able to hear Peanut's heartbeat for the first time (148), and I *think* that I've felt Peanut move! Though I'm not totally sure, because obviously I've never experienced something like this before. Every day I am more and more grateful, and I thank my Heavenly Father for this incredible opportunity every day. Nothing in this world could ever be so exciting and so worth all the tiredness and pain that my body has been experiencing. 


I AM 15 WEEKS PREGNANT (on 9/23/15)

SURPRISE!

I should have posted an update when I posted it on Facebook - but of course, I didn't!

After two long years of trying for this, Devin and I are FINALLY expecting a baby!! I am due in March, and we find out in a little over 3 short weeks whether it is a boy or a girl! We honestly are so happy, and couldn't be more excited! I've always wanted to be a mother, and (though he doesn't know it), Devin is going to be a fantastic dad! We're thrilled, and March can't come soon enough!
