Ok so it’s been WAY TOO LONG since I’ve updated this blog.

The last time I updated here we already knew that we were pregnant but I didn’t want to say anything until we passed our 12 wks ultrasound.

It’s been way past that and I still didn’t update anything.

We found out on new years eve that we were pregnant. It was the most amazing yet scary thing ever. The unknown and the fear that takes over you is inexplicable.

Our new year’s eve was awesome. We spent it with our neighbors and not only she was pregnant but she also had a friend of hers that came over and she too was pregnant. There I was in the midst of pregnant ladies and that somehow made me feel more confident about my own pregnancy.

I did have my scary moments with this pregnancy. I had some bleeding in the beginning and the pure fact of fear also took over.

Our 12 weeks ultrasound was so very scary for me. I was shaking and at one point I was so nervous that my entire face turned red. The ultrasound itself was beautiful. The moment we saw the heart beating I was able to breath again (at least for a bit). Our sonographer was awesome and she guessed that we were having a boy. Of course it was just a guess since it was way too early to really know anything.

On March 26th I could no longer wait and decided to pay out of pocket for a 3D ultrasound. Our little one was not cooperating very well but at the last minute we saw it. A BOY!!!! Tom was beyond excited and happy about it. I think that the pure fact of knowing that he was making his dad proud was enough for him. This is the first boy for Tom’s side of the family and the first grandchild for mine so it’s a huge deal all the way around.

We’ve had 3 amazing baby showers and we are so very blessed to have so many friends and family members that care so much about us and our little peanut!

Here I am now. Almost 38 weeks and I still can not believe that this is really happening.

I’ve been on bedrest now for 4 weeks and although it hasn’t been easy I know that it’s all going to be worth it at the end.

I was first put on bedrest at 34wks due to contractions and the medication that they had me taking. It would make my heart beat so darn fast I could not do anything.

At 36wks I was able to stop taking this medication and when I thought I was on the clear my blood pressure decided to play tricks on me.

So here I am still on bedrest. Waiting impatiently for our little one to make his appearance.

Tom is still working and is busier than ever, I am very lucky to have my little brother staying here with us and helping take care of me.

I have an appointment coming up this monday and we hope to hear some good news then. I’ll try my best to update more often.
