Triplets!!

Well Almost!

This is a picture of my sister, me, and my sister in law. Nicole is almost 27 weeks, I am 22 weeks, and Lisa is 20 weeks! We are all due within about 6 weeks of each other...

It has been so fun to all be pregnant at the same time. Can't wait for August when I will get a new niece, then September to have a new nephew and also to welcome our own sweet baby boy!

Happy Mother's Day

There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness. The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start life with, and on that capital I have made my way.-- Andrew Jackson.

Today I am grateful for the many "mother's" in my life.

First off my own mom. She is the most wonderful woman that I know. She has always been there for me and I know that she always will. She is a great example of love, compassion, strength, and so much more. She will never know the ends to which she has changed and shaped my life. I am grateful that she is an everyday part of my life, giving me that great example of motherhood to follow after.
Second is Eric's mom. I am so grateful to have such a terrific mother in law. She raised Eric to be such a great man and husband. I will forever be grateful to her for him. She is also a great example to me and to all those she is surrounded by. Thank you for all your love and support that you give to me.
Then there is my sister. She is truly my best friend. I love her more than I could express. I am so thankful for her and for the loving example she is to me.

She has given me 2 of my greatest joys in life, my nieces.

My sister in law Mel is also another example of a great mother.
She has shown me how to raise little boys...something I will need in the near future! I truly love each of those little boys!Then to Lisa...she is "almost" a mother...I think that it counts already! :)
Lisa is expecting her first baby boy in September. She is going to be a great mother. She is kind, loving, sweet, and has so many great qualities that I adore! Can't wait for her to be a mother and to have another little nephew!

And to all Eric and I's grandmothers, Aunts, and cousins who are such great mothers. If I listed all of them and said what I cherished about each it would go on forever! Just know that I am so grateful for each of you and Love you all more than you could know!

And to our many great friends who are mothers. I am so grateful that you are a part of my life and have shown me what it takes to be a great mom and have given me so much needed advice.

I look forward to being a Mother. I am so excited for September when this little baby will join our family!

Over the Bump...I mean Hump!

Well I am now over 20 weeks along!
I can't believe that I am 5 months already or that I still have about 5 left!

I was feeling a little better, but my stupid doctor wants me to lessen my nausea medication. So I started to reduce my milligrams per day and now I feel like crap again...so I am waiting a couple more days and then I'll call my doctor.

This little boy is moving like crazy, especially at night. It is such a fun feeling and it's amazing to know that there's a little baby in there.

I haven't really started on the nursery yet but that will come soon. I have been doing some spring cleaning and getting rid of a ton of stuff, hoping to make room for some baby gear.

Well here are some new pictures of my ever growing belly. I actually like having a baby belly, I just know that it won't last forever and in a couple months (or weeks) I'm going to probably not like it as much!
But for now...I'm loving it!

Sorry the pictures aren't so great...I have to take them myself!

Need some advice...

Ok ladies, and gents too, I am starting to look at strollers and car seats.

I have no idea which one to get. I have seen a ton that I like but I want some advice from those who have actually used strollers...or if you haven't you are more than welcome to leave a comment too! I don't even know where to start!

Please help me!

IT'S A BOY!!!

Well  we finally know that we will be having a little boy!  Eric and I are both so excited.  During the ultrasound when the doctor told us that it was a boy Eric got so excited...he gave my mom a high 5 and then just kept laughing and clapping!  It was pretty cute to see how excited he was.

It was such an awesome experience for both of us.  This is the first time I really felt pregnant.  It all seemed so real and it hit me...I'm going to be a MOM!  I guess you could say my hormones/emotions kicked in a little...it was a very sweet experience.

I know that ultrasound pics are kind of hard to see sometimes but I couldn't resist showing some!

Wishing for...

A GIRL OR BOY!!!

So it's almost time for us to find out what we will be having!

I want to see who will be right about their guesses...

So if you want leave a comment about if you think we will be having a boy or a girl!

We are so excited to find out!

The Bump!!

Well it's been awhile since I've updated my blog.
Things are going good. I started taking a new medication about 3 weeks ago and that has seemed to help a little. I still feel sick all day long but I'm not throwing up as much so that is a plus! We are at 14 weeks (3 1/2 months), and time is definitely not flying by. I am hoping that the morning sickness is coming to an end and that I can soon enjoy this pregnancy.
Eric is still convinced we are having a boy and I am hoping for a girl, but honestly as long as the baby is healthy we both will be very happy!
So some of you have been asking if I'm starting to show so I figured it's about time for some pictures...

To some of you it may not look like I am showing but as I told Eric...if you want us to be friends you will say that I am because I know my stomach didn't look like this 3 months ago! :)

(I really know that I'm not showing that much but as most of you know your first pregnancy you want to show...at least at first!)

We're Pregnant!

So some of you may already know but I thought I'd share with everyone now...
I am 10 weeks pregnant!

Eric and I couldn't be more excited! I am sorry to say that I am one of those unlucky people that got terrible morning sickness...ok ALL DAY sickness! I haven't really left my house for the last 4 weeks (except for our cruise), and my favorite food, mashed potatoes, is quickly becoming the most awful thing in the world! We both feel so blessed and couldn't be happier. I am due the end of September which is perfect timing for our crazy summers.

We can't wait to keep everyone updated!
