I am one Hot-vomiting girl!

I look hot lately...... but seriously this is how I have been looking lately.  I am always nauseated right when I get the test back and then the vomiting starts.  Right now it is pretty constant and I have been on the verge of IVS, which I am surprised I haven't had one yet. With the girls I had to have them at this point.  I just try to stay positive and Adam and the girls are the best support. 

Putting my feet up.....This explains my days lately.  I work in the ER and have done it for 8 yrs now.  I love my job more than anything, but this pregnancy has been really hard.  I am so nauseated and it gets worse at night and I work the 2-2 shift.  I end up throwing up on breaks or just make it out of my shift to throw up by my car in the parking lot.  Work is a little hard to find rest, where at home I can just lay there and play with the girls.



 My family is better than yours....Seriously what would I do without these girls and my wonderful husband!! so Grateful I get to have them by my side, helping me smile along the way!

surprise, surprise... WE are Pregnant!!!

WE'RE PREGNANT:
I am so excited I can hardly hold it in!!! We have been wanting to get pregnant, but I have had some health stuff so I knew it was a good thing to wait.  We waited for about a year and then felt we were in a good place.  We both had a strong feeling that we needed or could start trying to get pregnant in November.  To our surprise December 21st we got this pregnancy test to confirm it.  We were so amazed that we got pregnant so fast, because of the time it took to get pregnant with the other girls.  I knew I was pregnant before the test came out.  I started feeling nauseous right away and knew that I had a baby in me:) 




Telling the Girls:
The girls were thrilled when we told them I have a baby in my belly.  We told them right after the appointment, but told them not to tell anyone and they have done an amazing job at keeping it a secret.  Olivia was thrilled to know she would be an older sister and be able to hold this sweet little baby!




First appointment:
Went very well, we saw our little peanut and Dr. Allerton did an amazing job.  We are so excited to finally see him on that screen and hear his amazingly healthy heartbeat.  SO EXCITED!!!!!



Telling Parents:
We took Adam's parents to Rita's custard and made a menu to hand to them.  They did their job and handed it to us when we walked in telling us the specials.  It didn't work so well, so we just took it back to the table and kept hinting at how odd the menu looked.  Finally mom said, "It looks like someone is having a baby."  Not thinking us and then you could see it all click and they were so excited!!!  Then we took my dad and mom out to a gurus and told them the same way.  They were also very surprised.  We told my mom in person around the same time, which was very special as well.







 Telling Family/close friends:
Adam surprised me with a trip to Spain for Christmas and we decided to break the news right before we boarded the plane.  We sent this picture and a txt that read,"All 3 of us are excited to go to Spain!"
It was a great way of announcing this cute little baby coming our way!!!
