My bump, my bump, my lovely lady bump- check it out! (Destiny's Child Remix)

I think one of the most exciting things that I was looking forward to about pregnancy was that big belly bump! Girlfriend has made her presence known from the very beginning. Even after only 8 weeks, I had to switch to maternity pants. It didn't take much time after our big reveal to have complete strangers walk up to me and ask me when I was due. The bump grew incredibly fast. "Are you having twins?" "Wow, your belly is huge!" "How many you got in there?" These are just some of the questions that popped up daily. After realizing that both Chris and I have twins in our family, the recurring comments, and my blooming belly, I began to ask myself the same questions. My midwife was wonderful and assured me at that next appointment (and an ultrasound) that there was indeed only one precious darling making their home in my belly. That would have been fun, though! Maybe next time :)

The purpose

I had always imagined that the second I found out we were pregnant I would document every minute, every milestone, and every day's events.With a busy end to the school for Christopher and me, grad school classes, new puppy, and that crazy little thing called life... I am attempting to make up for lost time and share some of our favorite moments, provide some fun pregnancy knowledge I have learned, and keep everyone up to date on this beautiful journey.


First prenatal appointment- February 4th



At our first appointment we found out we are expecting our little bundle of joy on September 22nd

The Big Announcement- March 10th



We waited until we were through the first trimester to make our big announcement. It was so hard to keep it a secret, especially at work. We made the big reveal on March 10th, 2013. I'm already showing a bump!




My dad took our announcement pictures in front of a building downtown that is about to be demolished.  My mother-in-law provided us with the beautiful antique carriage, baby shoes, and blanket.



We had so much fun!
