andrew tells me that we have a doctors appointment in January....surprise! we are finally getting out the IMPLANON so we can start making babies!!
January 10th, 2014:
IMPLANON out--i didn't pass out (barely), the bruising is basically non-existent, and the healing process is fast. halla!
January-beginning of February:
baby making.
February 14th:
Valentines day!
February 21st:
Happy 23rd Andrew!
end of February-March:
the flu. a cold. then...the flu again...? hmmmm.... looks like it's time to figure out why i'm so sick....
March 4th:
successful home pregnancy! aiiiiiieeeee!
I taped it to the bathroom mirror and wrote "guess who made a baby?" for andrew to find when he got home. his only words were "shut up shut up shut up! for real???"
ps. i'm still sick. all the time.
March 7th:
the doctor gives me magic pills to relieve the nausea and i'm finally a human again! Andrew's so happy to have his wife back and i'm happy that i am alive enough to get out of bed and...clean the house?
March 14th-22nd:
Spring Break!!! after a loooong drive across Wyoming, the corner of Utah, Idaho, and Oregon, we finally reach the coast and spend a week with Mike and Sarah Hess (and baby Genelle). despite the ever present morning sickness (the WORST joke of a name ever) i'm able to enjoy the time with our wonderful friends and dream about being your mommy.
March 28th:
our little raspberry is 8 weeks and 2 days old. we get to see the heartbeat and take home a cute little picture to hang on our fridge :)
March 28th: evening
grandma and grandpa (weird!) larson come to visit for their spring break and are greeted by your little bootie picture on our fridge. mom cries, dad looks shocked, and julia and isaac were thrilled to be in on the secret (24 whole hours before their parents).
the next week is spent hanging out with the larsons and doing "whatever the baby wants" (eating pizza, going to a movie, playing games.... ;)
morning sickness gets worse and i start to throw up almost every day (the afternoons and evenings seem to be the worst). i hate this part of being pregnant, but seeing your cute little raspberry bottom helps to remind me that it's gonna be worth it.
i can't wait to be able to say you're the size of a strawberry!
April 1st:
i consider telling people that we are growing a tiny human, but know that no one will believe us...plus i'm not a huge fan of april fool's day. so instead i just have a normal day and think about you a lot.
April 3rd:
in just a few days you will be 10 weeks old! i checked online and they say you're the size of a kumquat...or a prune. i'll just say you've graduated to a small.ish strawberry.
but a super cute one.
