How it happend: We knew we wanted another baby.. it was just determining the "when". I wanted one pretty soon after Kinlsey turned ONE so I could time it with my school schedule and be off for the summer with the baby. Gray is the logical one, so he wanted to pay off some debt before we started "trying". We both compromised and officially got my Mirena out in October 2012. Little did we know that we didn't get to PLAN anything. God's timing was the ONLY timing and we just waited. Impatient and frustrated every month I tested a week earlier and got negatives. February came and we gave up "trying." Funny how that works! I was LATE and finally had enough patience to wait to take a test.
It was 3 or 4 days after I was supposed to start and I finally took a test while Gray was at work.
How I told the hubs: I tried to pinterest and google every creative way to tell your husband but I just couldn't wait long enough! I insisted we went out to dinner that night. We were about to say the blessing, and I offered to pray. At the end of the prayer, I said "and thank you for blessing us with a new little baby." We both choked up and held back tears.

4/23/13 12+ weeks
Size of a Peach!
Baby Buys
*The cutest gender neutral deer outfit from baby gap, a knit moose hat, and a cream knit crown
*a dresser in a baby blue color with vintage gold handles.. I got a steal of a deal... it would be cute for either gender
Maternity Buys
I still fit in my pants, but there is nothing that sounds more unappealing to me than putting my skinny jeans. I am officially finishing my first trimester and I have already been making some legit maternity clothes purchases.
*I got an awesome pair of comfy red pants from gap that I can wear to work
* a basic white and black tank to go under all my other shirts (gap makes a comfy stretchy white one, then the other is from forever21 non maternity for a tighter, slimmer fit ),
*a few flowy shirts from forever21 (non maternity)
*maternity shorts by jessica simpson

*I am hungry all afternoon. I am SUPER emotional... everything makes me sensitive. I keep hearing stories about other people (babies, near death, death) and I bawl!
*I can't remember all the details.
*My dreams are INSANE.
*I always have to pee at the same time every late late night/ early morning I think around 3am.
*I'm surprised at how short my dr. visits are. I never even have to get undressed-- I guess I just remember the end of last pregnancy.
* we still haven't told facebook/ a lot of people... crazy!
* ultrasound date is booked for 18+ weeks on June 4th (right before we go to California)
Maternity Buys:
- a couple of shorter flowy dresses from Ruche (non maternity but not form-fitted)
- an awesome splurge of lighter jean pants that I love and wear a lot
- an ASOS maternity dress for a wedding

Size of a mango!
total weight gain: 125lbs; 16lbs! Just now at the weight I started pregnancy last time! (and last pregnancy i gained 20 in the first trimester lol)
Tuesday is the day we have our ultra sound! I can't wait to see that sweet baby's profile! Last time we had one, he/she looked like a piece of rice at 7 weeks or so. I am dying to know what we are having! My heart says girl but my brain says boy. I am already thinking of what to buy (clothes-wise) either way! We have a couple names we like but aren't definite with any of them. We are still deciding on how to make the announcement to our friends and fam about gender.. and then letting the facebook world/ people we don't see on a daily basis that we are having a baby at all haha.
Still no official baby "bump" just gaining weight everywhere and feeling fat. Food just tastes so good lol. I just bought the Tracy Anderson pregnancy dvd and I think i'm at the point where I can pull out my juicer again.
6.4.13 18 weeks, 5 days
SO we saw our sweet baby today! The ultrasound showed a perfectly healthy baby! We didn't see the gender-- I have this VERY tempting envelope with the reveal sitting next to me. Only 2 more days til we get to open it!
