Oh I did get Olivia's birthday invitations done, so I'll pick those up tomorrow and send them out, and I survived shooting a wedding all day yesterday! Although it was terrible weather when I was done and took me 2 hours to drive home, so I've been a little extra crabby today!

This is our 9 week ultrasound. It just looks like a tiny bobble head lol. Can't wait to get new pictures in a week! We'll be almost 12 weeks so it should look more like a baby by then!

7 weeks 1 day

Wow, I guess last year really did a number on me! I haven't blogged since we lost baby 2 at 5.5 weeks. I've shed so many tears over that day since then. All the blaming on myself, questions, sadness thinking that was it, and facing the realization I might only ever have one child and to embrace her!
Almost a year later, here I am, 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I've taken 3 tests I have a Dr's appointment in 2 weeks and I'm all kinds of nauseous!
We went to Florida the first week of February and I got so motion sick on the flight there is thought, maybe it's morning sickness? I didn't want to get my hopes up though and blew it off, we had so much fun frolicking at the beach and disneyworld and the day after we got back, I missed my period! I've been so nervous something will happen that I haven't really had time to be excited. It's such a weird feeling, almost as if it's not real. My first appointment I'll get to hear the heartbeat and do an ultrasound, I'm so excited, but a little sad, the only time they had open was 930am so Kasey won't make it :( I don't know if he pretends it's not a big deal, or he really doesn't mind, but I'll be sad he isn't with me.
This is my last baby, so I want to make sure I go all out, I have announcement ideas planned and gender reveal ideas! I'm already putting aside money for a birth photographer, because Kasey had to do it for Olivia and I don't want him to have to worry about it this time.

Here's to our little blueberry! Please stay with me this time! 

Love - your momma.

      

6 weeks old

I can't believe how fast time has gone by already since Olivia was born!! The days seem to mush together I guess. She is growing so quickly and soon she wont fit in any of her new born cloths :( She thinks she is way bigger then she is and tries to stay up all day long but eventually her little eyes can't stay open any more and she passes out for a few hours and then does it all over again! 

Papa and Gramie bought her a swing this week and she loves it {and so do I} She loves to see whats going on so I love that I can put her in the swing and she can look around until she falls asleep. She is so strong and will probably be sitting up WAY early! She already has amazing head control and loves when we practice sitting in her bumbo seat! She loves her tummy time too and can already do little mini push ups! I have to watch her though because she already wiggles her little self all over the place!! 

We had her newborn pictures taken when she was just 13 days old and they are SO cute!!! 

We went for our first hike over Memorial Day weekend, we didn't realize it was 5 miles and that ended up being a little to long for baby but she did amazing and slept in her pack almost the entire time! 

Then I made an attempt to take our own family pictures and it was a nightmare but something is better then nothing right?! 

I made some subway art that I just need to get printed to hang in her room! 

 

The dresser I repainted, it was blue and from the 60s but now it matches her room perfect!! 

This is Kasey when he was 1 month old...  and this is Olivia I think they look JUST alike!! CRAZY! 

 Had our first "play date" with Doc, he was born the day after Olivia! 

Grandpa Fackrell and Grandpa Mike came over for a visit! 

We have had so many visitors this month and so many great gifts, we can't thank everyone enough!! I only have a month before I have to go back to work so we are going to make sure to have the best next 4 weeks ever!!! 

Lemon

I saw this on someones blog and thought it was super cute! She is doing it every week and I probably will only do it every now and then... like once a month if I'm lucky! 

How far along: 14 weeks

Size of the baby: Lemon
Maternity clothes: 2 pairs of jeans

Best moment since last week: We finally heard the baby's heart beat!

8 weeks

So even though our little "secret" is out, I feel silly talking about it! I feel like I am barely even prego! I'm only 8 weeks along and the truth is you just never know! Every little thing makes me worried that something is wrong because its so surreal right now, I can't feel it or see it or anything else so its hard to believe I've got a little person growing in me! 

I haven't been to sick until a couple weeks ago, and even still its not that bad, I've thrown up twice now, but I'm constantly stuck in that feeling of nausea, which sucks! My emotions started kicking in this last week and I've cried a few times, mostly over stupid things! This morning I burst into tears and cried for a good 15 mins before I was able to control myself and get some mascara on before I went into work! 

My biggest symptom so far is fatigue! I feel like I can't do anything for more then 10 mins with out needing a nap! I've got a handful of family sessions to edit and sitting at my computer not only makes me feel queasy but I also have a hard time keeping my eyes open, so I get up and walk around every five mins and that really makes it hard to concentrate and get in a flow! I'm hoping this wears off soon and I'll have some of my energy back! Just when I finally got something from the doctor to help my fatigue I go and get myself pregnant and cant take my prescription anymore lol, go figure right?! 

Anyways before I get sick I better go and take a walk around the office!       

Surprise

Guess who's having a baby! WE ARE!!! 

{HUGE thanks to Rayni for taking our pictures this weekend!!}
