It's a downer..

I try not to complain too much.

I am a person that TRIES to see the good in everything.

So when I complain to my best friend that I hate the fact that T and I are so far away from family. 

You know something is up.

The marine corps has done a lot of wonderful things for our family.

It has given T his passion and has shown him exactly what he wants to do.

It's given us the chance to see a different part of the world. 

And we have met a lot of wonderful and awful different kinds of people. 

But the one thing that has always bothered me is the fact that our families are so wide spread now.

Which T and I save up to visit home at least for Christmas.

So when we found out that, A. I was pregnant and B. haha, I'm also due around christmas 

(not really but still it's close enough Dec 1)

Well we started seeing a lot of snags.

Questions started beaming through my mind a million miles a second.

What about a baby shower?

Will family be able to see our little creation? ((in person?))

Should we still go home? ((the answer to that is NO))

Are we going to be alone when the baby comes? ((the answer to that one is also NO)) ((hehe))

And so many more. 

But being the person I am, I AM trying to look on the bright side of things. 

Who needs a baby shower when you have a best friend that comes up with crazy things like "Baby shower in a box" and other wild things.
And the fact that both sides of our family was asking to plan for them to come visit as soon as they found out. I had nothing to worry about! 

I guess I forgot to remember that T and I have such a loving group of family and friends that I wouldn't have to worry about little simple things such as that. Because even if my family is miles away, they still send their love in various ways. 

And I can't complain about that.

Week 13 - Baby peanut

So it is week 13 you guys! 

After week 9 my belly has started poking out. 

It's just so exciting! So I wanted to cover the basic questions that

most people ask.

I found the questions off of various Pinterest pictures! 

So here we go! 

----------------------------------------------

How big is the baby: Baby Peanut is the size of a small peach! 3 inches long! 

Weight Gain/Loss: From my first appointment to my last (about 3 weeks) I lost 3 pounds. But I was sick for about a week. ( The week before my appointment)

Cravings: Nothing too strong yet. Sour candy and sweets. And pickle juice. Pickle juice is the best. 

Food Aversions: Nothing yet! If the smell is TOO strong I can get sick but it's not ONE thing in particular. 

People's Comments: "Look's like a little alien," several people about our first ultrasound. That's about all right now. :P

General Mood: Happy!(: I mean, my little bean is just growing so fast! 

Fears: I don't really have many fears. Just hope I'm going to be a good mommy! 

Things I was surprised by: Honestly just how much my belly has grown since week 9!! Look!! 

Things I am most looking forward to: Our next appointment is June 15th, RIGHT after my birthday. Yay! We will be so close to finding out the gender! 

What I think is Cool/Crazy so far: I have felt a little fluttering going on in my tummy. I think my cool/crazy update will be better once I actually feel my peanut!

Stretch Marks: Not yet, I have a few on the breasticles. But that's all.

Maternity Clothes: Nope! But my clothes are getting tighter and tighter...

Showing: Yes! Hehe. It's so exciting!!

Movement: Not yet, but soon! 

Gender: We don't know yet, but yes, we plan on finding out. 

Innie or Outie: Innie so far lol.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, That's all folks! For this week anyway! 

I can't even fathom how excited and in love with our little peanut I already am.
