{the hidden baby journals} week 6

March 24, 2010Well, it's been an exciting two weeks since we found out about the little bean! As fun as it may be to have a secret between the two of us, we could not wait to share the news with our parents. Since my parents are in Wisconsin, I decided to be a little sly. Nothing like getting a baby onesie in the mail to break the news!

I packaged everything in bubble envelopes and shipped them off - no note, no nothing. And since I have two sisters - lucky me I found a onesie bib deal! (Hey, I'm about to have a baby - now is not the time to be spending money on frivolous onesies!) Kayla got the bib.

Since Jason's parents are local, we decided to have them over for dinner. I couldn't wait to spill the beans, but Jason was nervous. Finally, as we were doing dishes, he said that I could tell them. I ran to the bedroom to get the onesies and told everyone I had a present for them. I handed them out one by one. Certainly not the dessert everyone was expecting!

Needless to say, parents and soon to be aunties and uncle were over the moon excited. We're keeping it a secret until our next doctor's appointment where we'll get to hear the heartbeat!

{the hidden baby journals} week 5


March 17, 2010
Baby is the size of an apple seed this week and looks kind of like a tadpole. The big news for the bean this week is he's starting to form major organs like the heart, kidney, liver and stomach! His nervous, circulatory and digestive systems are also starting to form.

How far along? 5 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: none
Maternity clothes? None yet, though my bloat seems to be stretching out my pants buttons.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I still can’t get enough of it. Every day I come home from work and take a nap, and then by 8:00, I'm ready for bed.
Movement: NONE, of course.
Food cravings: Qdoba - nachos and burritos. Can't get enough of that spicy food!
Gender: I think it's a boy. No good reason why.
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Having a glass of wine on the weekends.
What I am looking forward to: Our first ultrasound and telling our parents!

Preggo Test

I'm pregnant! I'm freaking out just a little, but I'm so happy, so excited and cannot wait to share this journey with all of you.

Right now, baby is the size of a poppyseed, according to T
he Bump. So tiny! Cannot believe that there is a little human growing inside of me.



Jason and I have always wanted children and decided that no time would ever be the right time. So instead of worrying about when we would start trying and getting anxious and worried about when it would happen (or not happen), we decided to just see what happens. We left it up to God and didn't worry about when the perfect time would be.

After being a week late, and hearing about babies left and right through Facebook, blogs, etc, I stopped at Wal-greens on the way home to buy a HPT. I came home and said, "Look what I got!" Jason said "What the heck is that?!?" I took the test, feeling pretty good, and within seconds my heart started to pound. All I could think was, what if this thing is positive? Our lives were two minutes away from changing dramatically.

Before I had time to think, I saw a faint pink line start to appear. I ran to the living room to show Jason. He looked at it and said, "Let me read those instructions." Then he spent the next five minutes comparing the test to the photos in the instruction booklet. He responded with, "Well wife, it looks like we're having a baby!"

I made a doctor appointment for the following day to confirm. I took another test there and it was still faint with them, so they had to take a blood test. The next morning they called with the results - positive!
