Pictures up until 17 weeks

Surprise!  Little did we know we had a little baby in there. Trip to AZ and lots of hiking. We are probably only about 2 weeks preto here. 

15 weeks here


17 weeks!  You can see the bump.

17 weeks!
2 more weeks until we get to find out the sex. I have heard Wives Tales about what the gender will be; for example your pet will be stand-offish if the baby is the same gender as him, but very cuddly and protective if the baby is the opposite gender.  Harvey has been all over me. He sits on top of me whenever possible, or sits near me.  I have also heard if you are carrying a girl you crave sweets. I have been obsessing over hard candy. So if the wives tales are true we are carrying a girl. Honestly, we do not care one way or another as long as he/she is healthy.
I still have been feeling good, just tired every once in a while. I am still wearing my jeans, for the most part.. My favorite pair of skinnys may have to be retired though unless I use a belly band. When I button those and sit for awhile it's gets very uncomfortable. I did finally break down and try on maternity pants and bought a couple maternity tanks and the belly band.  My. cousin is letting me borrow a couple pairs of skinny  maternity jeans for the days I feel more bloated.
I don't think it have felt any movement or kicks yet. If I did I completely didn't realize that is what it was.
Overall, this pregnancy has been easy and great. We are so happy and excited for the following months. Anxiously awaiting for our 19 week appointment (March 11), and this long cold winter to be over.

2nd Trimester!

2nd Trimester!!!!
EEEEK!

So we started the second trimester (14 weeks) on Feb 3.  I haven't noticed any other changes so far. Still feel great and still wearing normal clothes.  My tummy is starting to bump out a little at the bottom, but still not a noticeable baby bump.  I wish I could feel the baby move so I knew everything was going OK. I am such a worrier.

Harvey, our 1.5 old golden doodle, has been sitting or laying on top of me every chance he gets. I don't know if he knows he will no longer be the only spoiled baby or what, but he sure is getting lots of cuddles in whenever he can. And I love them, as long as he isn't laying directly on my belly.

We also finally publicly announced our pregnancy via, what else, Facebook. I wanted the picture perfect and needless to say Matt and Harvey got sick of the attempts. We started off by doing footprints in the snow, very difficult to accomplish with a hyper puppy who loves the snow.  Then went to having Harvey holding the onsie in his mouth. But go figure the one time we want him to take something he shouldn't, he wants nothing to do with it. We finally just ended up having Harvey sit at our feet and Matt and I held a sonogram photo. Huge thanks to my mom for snapping all the photos.

Our 16 week appointment is in a week and a half, no ultrasound at that one :(. I would love to see our baby again.  But soon enough we will, and will also get to find out the gender!
