I have put this post off long enough! I am so glad I finally have the time to sit down and share with you all my pregnancy journey so far. I still can't believe it somedays, and I cannot even begin to describe all the emotions I am feeling. Happy, excited, scared, anxious, nervous, overwhelmed… just to name a few ;)
I knew from the moment we found out that I wanted to document as much as I could and write everything down and take pictures and track every step of the way! SO.. let me catch you all right up to 15 weeks :) :) :)
I found out I was pregnant the day after Ryan's birthday. And yes I went crazy and peed on about 15 sticks! I couldn't believe it when the first one showed pregnant. I instantly started bawling my eyes out and running through the house like a crazy person jumping up and down. I told Ryan by letting him know one of his birthday presents came late and then filled him in. He had no idea what was coming :) It was such a beautiful moment for us both. We are both so excited to become parents and are enjoying this journey so far.
How far along? 6 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: No gain or loss. Feeling very bloated at this point though.
Maternity clothes? Not Yet :)
Stretch marks? Nope! Lathering up morning and night to prevent what I can!
Sleep: I was way to excited when we first found out but I have been sleeping better minus the getting up to pee every so often.
Best moment this week: Starting my pregnancy journal and seeing our little peanut for the first time.
Miss Anything? Coffee and bleu cheese. I usually eat it on everything and anything!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Mixture of both. I was VERY moody before we found out, super emotional and crying a lot and now I know why :) I am still emotional now. My moods come from being so tired during the day
