Time for a lil update :) So, the first time Dillon and I went to the Dr. we found out that I was indeed pregnant, and possibly with TWO BABIES!! I about had a heart attack, and Dillon let out a loud laughing "oh my god". He was stoked of course, but I was terrified haha. The dr did an ultrasound and then we did the "normal" tests, blood, peeing in a cup, being weighed ( I weighed 127.) family history of health questions, etc. He then told us that the baby or babies seemed smaller and I was likely less than 7 weeks ( like I had originally thought.) He then scheduled me for an ultrasound at the hospital in a couple weeks to find out how many babies there were and exactly how far along I really was. I had to drink a bunch of water and not go to the bathroom for two hours before the second ultrasound, which was pure hell. I felt like I was going to burst. My stomach looked huge, it was pretty funny, but painful.
So, on April 3rd, we headed to the hospital. I was so nervous and had to pee so bad, the drive down was a bit painful but my excitement sort of took over. We walked in and I was seen immediately, which was awesome for me and my bladder, ha. From the ultrasound we learned that there was only one baby, Dillon let out a sigh but I was relieved. I am all about twins, ( my mom is a twin & it runs in both of our families ) but I was nervous to have two my first pregnancy. So, we're having one lil babe, and we found out I was almost 8 weeks. Dil and I also got to hear our babies heartbeat!! It was the most amazing experience of my life. He held my hand the whole time and we were both just super happy. Everything became real at that moment. Our lil babe was really in there..it's amazing.
A couple of days after our ultrasound we made another Dr. appointment and at that appointment we found out a lot of things, all good of course !! :) I lost almost two pounds ( opps. ) Our baby is 8 weeks and due November 11th 2014 ... 11-11 how cool!!
I can honestly say life is so good right now. Dillon and I have always talked about having a family together and now it's really happening and we couldn't be happier. I feel so incredibly blessed. God is good :)
I skipped a couple weeks on this pregnancy questionnaire, but now that I'm almost 10 weeks I'll be updating it weekly.

Sleep: I'm sleeping well and a LOT. It takes me forever to fall asleep and get comfortable but once I do I'm usually out, unless I wake up to pee which happens a LOT, crazy dreams too..and lots of naps during the day. I miss my energy, but this is worth it.
Best moment this week: Watching scary movies & dinner out with Dillon..also finding out good news about our trips this summer.
