So long Jolly Ranchers... a pregnancy update

This week I said adios to Jolly Ranchers, these have been a staple item for me over the past 14 weeks. I take them every where with me (along with my snack pack) to ease the nausea and to get me through my shifts at work. This is the 4th day in a row that I have no longer need my Jolly Ranchers. Funny thing is that green ones used to my favorite and right now I can not stand the smell of them!

Well we just finished our 14th week and boy am I excited to be out of my first trimester:) We are praising God everyday for this little nugget and can't wait to find out what it is. We will have our gender sonogram on Friday, May 13th. Be sure and vote on the poll to your right and let us know what you think it is, there has been an overwhelming response that it is a girl, however I have strong feelings it may be a boy??? Who knows!!!

I am starting to show a little but not really enough for a picture (actually we took one and it is terrible so I will post one soon) For the first time at work last night several people even strangers were saying I was showing:) So I guess I am a little.

This has already been a very exciting 14 weeks. I would like to share some words of wisdom as well as fun memories and stories so far. I have to write them down so I don't forget them.

The things I wish someone had told me (so far:))

- Always put your mascara on after your brush your teeth, because you will surely throw up and the mascara will run down your face, probably when your late for work.

- Don't always trust a hair rubber band to hold your pants together, they can break and you might let out a huge scream when it snaps your skin.

-Never try to test yourself to see if you are over your food aversions (your not!!!)

Quoteables:

- Me six weeks pregnant- co-worker "wow your already pooching"

- David in his letters to the baby " sleep tight, don't let the placenta bugs bite" funniest thing ever!

- Telling my co-workers I am pregnant at 12 weeks- co-worker "oh you really shouldn't tell anyone until 14 weeks a lot can still happen". Me: I JUST TOLD YOU!

-David "If you eat that many lucky charms our baby is going to come out speaking Irish" Really... Irish?

-Me: "David can you please get some sloppy joes stuff at the store." David; "of course" Me 20 minutes later " have you left the store yet? I don't want sloppy joes I want Reese's Puff Cereal"

Memories:

- My friend Remy gave me this great at home fetal monitor so I can listen to the babies heart beat. Come to find out after listening to it for days in a row, I have been picking up my own heart beat not the babies. Don't worry, I found the babies today, it is much faster than mine:)

-Telling my sweet friends Courtney and Caylin I was pregnant, they both cried. That is to be expected from Court but Cay on the other hand, she doesn't just cry at anything. Priceless.

-Hearing my dad say that he listens to the baby's heart beat on the text message we sent him every day:) I love that they are so excited!

-My precious sister sent me flowers today that said "Happy end of your first trimester" . Best sister ever!

- Started crying at work watching How To Train a Dragon

I think that is all for now. I promise that I will post some pictures soon! I promise if I posted now you be like hey you look FAT:)
