Baby Holt

I truly can't believe that Sean and I are starting a family and bringing a beautiful baby girl or boy into this world. We are both very excited but also a little scared especially when that pregnancy test came out positive because that made everything so real...haha! 

Here is our little bundle of joy at 9 weeks almost 10 weeks:

I can't wait till May 21st, exactly 2 weeks and 5 days, when we find out if we are having a little princess or a handsome prince. I don't have a preference; only for this little sweetheart to be healthy and happy. Either way he or she is going to be spoiled! Not too much of course. Hopefully I can find out what "too much" is..haha!

It has been a very interesting experience trying to notice when I feel the baby move. The first time I noticed something was when I was exactly 14 weeks. I felt tiny bubbles in my lower abdomen and had a feeling like my stomach was growling but it was definitely no where near by stomach. He or she was having way too much fun swimming in my tummy..haha! :)

My pregnancy so far has been absolutely amazing. I haven't experienced any nausea or throwing up which makes me so very happy because I hate to throw up. My only struggles have been migraines and fatigue which have slowly gotten better. During the first few weeks I was having a hard time eating because I didn't crave anything and nothing smelt good. Even my favorite, broccoli, I had to stay away from. That has definitely changed now...thank goodness :) My new pregnancy feeling is stretching, which hasn't happen much but when it does it's a little annoying.

Here is me at 8 weeks. Definitely nothing showing yet:  

Here is me at 14 weeks. Migraines have gone down but still not really showing:

Big difference to me from 14 weeks. Here is me at 17 weeks. I felt a lot of stretching at this point:

Oh my heck my sister Shannon has been amazing to me and thank goodness she loves me because she let me barrow all of her maternity clothes. She just had a baby boy 3 weeks ago (Ryker James Hicks) and has a lot of maternity clothes that I can barrow. For weeks I have been unbuttoning my regular pants so my growing belly doesn't hurt as much and there has been MANY times I have caught my zipper down...haha! That's definitely not embarrassing right.

Now I have amazing maternity jeans that make me feel like I'm wearing sweat pants. Oh how I'm loving my growing belly now!    

I'm 18 weeks!
