June 23rd.

So today I am 7 weeks and 6 days pregnant. This is my recent belly pic. My tummy is now 29.5 inches. Before I was pregnant it was less than 25 inches i think. I have also gained about 5 pounds. I now weigh about 117.4 pounds. I am starting to feel tired alot more. also not as hungry as I have been being. I guess that is winding down. Brinkley is keeping me busy. I have also been having energy spurts. But they only last for a few hours. like right now I think I am going to take a nap. But I am going home in 7 days on the 30th of June. We are telling the families that we are expecting on  saturday the 2nd of July. Im so excited to be going back home for a few days. Gotta go, ill talk to yall in a bit. Oh and I have a Dr. appt in Alabama on the 1st at 9am. So I will post pictures of what we saw on here. Maybe I will get a little picture of Baby Andrews. =)

June 16th.

I went to the doctor on the 15th and filled out 2 hours of paper work. It was so much. It was an intro to parenting. Thought I would see the OBGYN too but that never happened. On the 16th i went back to the doctors office. I got to see the heart beat!!! It was so great! But the only downside was, they would not let jeff in. He was so excited when I was talking about it tho. But it was great! I loved every part of it.

Baby Andrews

I decided to post this after i went home to Alabama, to tell the family. BUT.. I'm going to be a Mommy!!!! Yeah I am so excited. I cant wait. It will be here in February or January. You cant tell in this picture that it is a plus. It is very faint. So i went to my health care doctor on Tuesday May 31, and they called me later that day and told me i was pregnant. Yeah! I'm still so excited. And i told Jeff, he is excited too . Since he is a Marine, he gets deployed alot. He may not be here when it is born. So he is going to miss the first 7 months of its life. But he is excited that we are finally going to be parents. I made a scrap book  page, and this is how i actually told him we are parents. I told him to go look at the scrapbook. That i added a new page to it. He looked. In it was this page, a bib (saying i Love you daddy), and the test i took, and a silver raddle.

This is the page. I like to use alot of colors lol. But he loves it. You cant see it as well as i wish you could. It took me like 25 minutes to make it. I kept getting frustrated with placement. So Brinkley helped me place things. I asked her where do i put this, or what goes next ha ha. Then she fell asleep so I was on my own. But i had fun with it. I have made 6 pages in our scrapbook. I love it. For the most part it is relaxing. But this project i had like 30 minutes before he got home. So as you can tell i was stressing to get it done. My mother gave me the idea, since i do enjoy doing this and being creative. I took the advise, and it turned out great! I'm so glad i did. Also i am going to take a picture of my tummy like most mommy's do and post it on this blog. I have taken one, and i look huge. This is the 1 month mark. I am taking one on June 15. I will be 6 weeks pregnant, and ill also post the heart rate and what not. So we can determine if it is a boy or girl. Tricare wont tell me. lol. But anyways here is the picture. And i look fairly huge

already. But i am going to keep adding to this blog until we tell the families. Enjoy! =)

Today i am 5 weeks pregnant . I took a picture. It kinda looks the same. Also I have some maternity pants and clothes that my mom bought me. They look great. Also she got me "The Belly Book", and i have already started it. It is kinda like a journal. You can get it at BAM ( books a million). I would suggest it to everyone. Go get one, and have fun with it. But anyways, I am starting to feel pregnant . I am eating eggs, pickles, and cheese. I have not eaten these things in years. And i do mean years. Bacon makes me sick. So I'm sorry Jeff, I cant cook your bacon anymore. Baby Andrews wont let me lol. Also I am feeling so tired. I need a nap during the afternoon, but Brinkley wont let me. Darn 12 week old hyper puppy lol. But i love her, so I'm not gonna complain. I have also started to forget things, because i just forgot what i was gonna say. WOW, that is terrible. But so far I love feeling like a mommy . I'm starting to look at bedding and picking out names. We think we are going to use the names we have picked out already. Ill tell you when i figure out if it is a boy or girl. And we have started looking at furniture. Since we have a cocker spaniel , and they can be possessive, we are going to do something that was suggested to me. We are going to put a fake baby in the crib in our room, one that cries and what not, and carry it around the house so that Brinkley can get use to it. Hopefully this will help her. She will be close to a  year old when the baby comes , so maybe she wont do anything, and will adjust quickly. But i put up the picture. I'm starting to look pregnant . But gotta go. Post more next week, =)

Today my mom sent me some cross stitch and other things. This is one of them. I am going to start it soon. Also today I took a gender prediction test. It was the ring test. I took my wedding band and a string and held it over my wrist first, and then my tummy second. The first time it was still, and then started moving in a circle. The second time is did the same thing, moved in a Circe. This means I may be having a girl!!! I am so excited about this. I'm telling the hubby later. He wants a boy, so it can be a protector. LOL. Typical man I guess. I think Brinkley knows she is getting a brother or sister too. She likes to stare at my tummy, and sleep on it. I'm not sure if that is normal, most people tell me it is, I just think it is cute. =) I am very ready to go to the doctor and hear the heart beat to know for sure if it is a girl. If it is ill be SO happy!!! I always wanted a girl first. We already have a name picked out for both boy or girl . We will share soon, after we tell the grandparents  all of this lol. Now I am putting a belly picture up like normal. I am 5 weeks and 3 days ,I look huge. People tell me this is the way it is suppose to be. So I decided to stop wearing a baggy shirt, so now I'm just showing if off lol. But anyways I'm done for now. TTYL.

Today I am 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant . And so far it is nothing but feeling sick. The only thing to make it better right now, is to sleep. I am sick all day now. Never thought I would feel this sick, this much. My poor dog probably hates me for sleeping all day. I cant really eat either. This makes it feel worse. But here is a picture of my belly. I now weigh 116.4 pounds, and my waist (around the belly button) is now 28.5. So I have gotten quite a bit bigger. But im going to take a nap now. talk to you later this week.
