So finding out the gender wasn't as easy as some may think...  Before being pregnant, the hubby and I had discussed and he put it in my head that we shouldn't find out the gender, but then when the time came, he of course changed his mind.  I on the other hand wasn't that sure.  1. I was terrified to find out that it was a girl and be disappointed (I didn't want my baby girl to feel that, is that bad?  I was just set in having a baby boy first) 2. I have the hole dual gender baby shower planned out >:-|

Then I was like okay you can find out, but I don't want to find out until the baby shower, so again I had a whole gender reveal planned out, and how the invitations were going to give our guests the option to find out or wait until the actual baby shower... needless to say, now I start stressing over, what if he spills the bean?  I'll be devastated!!!! I did not want to have to deal with that bomb... sooooo I decided to give in and find out as well, but then back to my reason #1.  What if it is a girl?  I've been having such a tough (in my eyes) pregnancy that I was set in one having one.  I started to think, he'll want his little boy... I want a little boy :-(  with a boy, it will be solely my choice if we decide to adopt or if I want to go through pregnancy again.  With a baby girl I couldn't bare with taking that away from the hubbie.

Anyways, the day to find out finally came, our doctor called and I couldn't bring myself to answer it... I told him to call, but we had just gone back to work and he was in training all day and wouldn't be able to call.  It was back on me...  I finally worked up the courage to call and I couldn't be more excited!!!!!

Too sick for pictures this month! 

and I started working again, boooooo

Can't wait to get this for my boys!!!

Looking forward to: first prenatal and hearing/seeing proof that there is something there

I planned to do chalkboard pictures, but once sickness kicked in (and fortunately being on vacation), it became real hard to keep up with them.  All I wanted did was sleep, and be able to eat.  NOBODY told warned me pregnancy would be like this.  Food aversions???? All you hear about is cravings--at least that's all people asks about..  I couldn't even bare to look think about some of my favorite foods, let alone cook it.  

By week 7, I had my mind set on being done and that pregnancy is not for me.  Don't get me wrong... I absolutely LOOOOOOVE my munchkin already, couldn't be more EXCITED we got pregnant so quickly and every minute of everyday I want to spend talking about him/her.  Whether is adding things to the registry, reading all my 3 apps (yes I have 3 apps about pregnancy:-), or talking about what a terrible time I'm having :'-( 

Despite being so sick, having no energy and having mini meltdowns getting emotional over food, I feel/am absolutely grateful and blessed that GOD is so good and a little one was written on his plan for us.

Anyways, here is the only picture I snapped for this month.

Time to put my Pinterest Boards to work!!!!

Is it bad that I've started a registry already?  Are there any first time moms out there who have done the same? 

Bare with me...

...while I play catch up!!

Exciting News!!!!

                                      

The Hubbie just got a year wiser...

I did a Minute to Win It theme and had a couple of our friends over.  We dominated a couple of the games... Who said the hostess can't play???

The delicious Brownie Batter Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes you see, are courtesy of the Kevin and Amanda website.  I made them with a white chocolate fudge frosting for Super Bowl, but left that out this time since the Hubbie is not a fan of frosting.

Despite the games being cut short because one of the couples had to leave early, it was still a blast!!! Our game nights will now include minute to win it games.

I get to enjoy the day off with the hubs!!!

                                                            

While I was Out...

... I wet my feet with some Crossfit, for about a month or so.  While I did not lose any weight, I did get stronger and it was a lot of fun.  It was getting pretty pricey and the hubbie was in the process of getting certified as a personal trainer, and of course I was bound to be his first client!!
