Erik and Britton + One

That's right! Erik and I are adding to our little family. This is our little buddy at only 7 weeks that was the last time they gave us an ultrasound and we don't get another one until 20 weeks when we find out if it's a boy or a girl in early December. We are 13 weeks along now and heading into our second trimester! Hallelujah! We are so excited and blessed. I can't believe that we are being trusted with this little spirit God is sending us and can't wait to meet them in April! 

The day I turned 11 weeks was one of my sickest days ever. I am so grateful for my job because luckily it was a slow day at work and I was actually able to get a pedicure. It made me feel so much better nothing feels better than just relaxing when you feel so crummy. I have been very lucky though I haven't been as sick as I could have been. I have still been able to work my normal amount and have been blessed with not throwing up which was a huge bonus! It also helped me keep it a secret at work for awhile until I was ready without anyone getting suspicious. 

This was me last week sometime. Around 11 weeks when I felt so sick that hard lump in my belly moved up a bit to right below my belly button and it's making my belly stick out a bit more. I feel really strange I'm at that weird stage where if people don't know I'm pregnant they would just think I've gained a few pounds. Only one pair of my pants still fit me comfortably, so Erik took me maternity pants shopping the other day and I tell you I don't know why everyone doesn't wear them they are so comfortable! Way better than squishing into my too tight pants every day! 

A couple of nights ago this is the pregnancy craving that attacked. Bacon and Chocolate cereal. I haven't had that many craving but this was definitely one of them. A couple of days before we found out I was pregnant I downed a half a bottle of pickles all by myself. Also pizza ALWAYS sounds good. A couple of times we've made late night runs to little caesars down the road because that was what I needed. Erik is so good at taking care of me and my pregnancy crazies. 

We are very excited about our little one I can't wait until we find out if it's a boy or a girl so I can start shopping! I think they do that on purpose so we only have 20 weeks to do all of the shopping instead of the full 40 weeks and don't go overboard. Haha.
