We are PREGNANT!
If you have been following my blog, or trying to follow it you will have noticed that i havent updated it in a looong time. The reason being, we havent done anything due to my horrible morning sickness. With Ceci I threw up 2 times, during the entire pregnancy, and this was before i knew i was pregnant. With this pregnancy I have thrown up nearly everyday, sometimes twice a day, and i have been feeling like absolute poop.
Anywho, we found out we were pregnant on March 11th after taking a home pregnancy test. We had been trying for a few months and finally succeeded. I think that Feb is my fertile month, as Ceci was conceived in Feb as well. A couple days after the positive pregnancy test I started to bleed a little. Thinking it was a false positive we called my doctor to make an appointment, just to make sure i was ok. The light bleeding never turned into my period, and our doctor ordered a blood test that came back very positive. We had our first ultrasound the next week (March 20th), and we saw the little bean that will become our baby! It was about 5-6 weeks along when we had our first ultrasound. My doctor said she wanted to see us in 5 weeks, so we made an appointment for May 8th (more like 7 weeks). That was such a long wait. The morning sickness shrunk everything except for my growing belly. We didnt want to tell anyone until after our next ultrasound, and Mother's Day happened to be the next Sunday, so we decided to wait until then.
Last Wed we had our appointment and everything was fine, thank goodness! I had these great ideas of how to tell our families, but nothing worked out the way i planed. I wanted to make a puzzle of the ultrasound for my mom, but there just wasnt enough time to print it before Mother's Day so my sister had the ultrasound and a few other pictures printed on a cake. She was supposed to drop the cake off at my parents house while they were visiting my grandma but the timing was off and my parents had just gotten home when she arrived to drop off the cake. They opened it and called me immediately. Im sure my mom kind of knew I was pregnant, but now she knew for sure! They are excite to have their 4th grandkid! For Leto's family I made a shirt that said 'irma mais velha' and had Ceci wear it to our Mother's Day lunch. The plan was to wait until someone noticed the shirt, but no one ever did! Leto finally had to ask "did you notice what Ceci's shirt says??" And finally the read it. Everyone was so happy. And EVERYONE said "oh, its going to be a boy." When we got home i email and messaged all my friends, and Leto sent a text to his friends, then I made it 'facebook official'. So now the world knows! I cant believe that we kept the secret for 2 months! (Well I told my sister because she was bugging me, and i needed someone to complain to about my morning sickness!!!)
Our next ultrasound/appointment is June 11 (Bridgie's birthday!!!). We will most likely learn the sex of the baby then, but we will keep it secret until our "gender reveal" party in California in July!
We are super excited to give Ceci a baby brother or sister and to have our family grow! I will be updating the blog a lot more now. I am out of the terrible first trimester and on to the blissful second trimester :-)
Here are some pics from the last 2 months!
