Hello, my name is Amy and my husband and I are expecting our first baby in early November. I am 25 and he is 29. We have been married for 2 1/2 years. We decided to "try" and got prego on the first try. I couldn't believe it! I thought it would take a few months. We are so excited! My sister is also pregnant and due in July so its fun to have someone to talk to about all the crazy things pregnancy brings on us. My first appointment is on March 31st!!! I'm so excited. I will be 9 weeks. It feels like I have been pregnant for so long already. I can't wait to hold my new baby!!!

So we went to my second appointment on Friday 4/25 and we heard the heartbeat for the first time!!! It was amazing. My husband talks about all the time now. It feels more real now. I was almost crying. The doctor said that I now have a 95% chance of having a perfect pregnancy!! yay! It was good to hear good news. I have gained 3lbs so far. Not too bad I guess. It will catch up with me I'm sure. I'm feeling great now! Not half as tired and not sick anymore. Now I love being pregnant!!!!!

Today I had another Dr. Appt. My husband came with me again. At 4 months I have gained 5 lbs. I got my blood taken for a downs and chromosome test. We heard the heartbeat and it was 144. I think its a boy! We will find out in 3 weeks at my ultrasound. I can't wait. While she was listening for the heartbeat we could hear the baby moving around. It was so cool. It was a loud swiching sound. Very neat to hear. I'm feeling really good. Pretty much back to normal. I think I have been feeling the baby move a little. Its hard to tell but I think I can tell the difference between gas and movement. Its right below my belly button and it feels like light tapping. I can't wait to feel a big kick. I won't be saying that in a few months......when the baby is kicking my ribs and organs.

Today I went to my usual tuesday night yoga class. We had a very fast pased class with lots of moving up and down. It was a great class. As I was sitting down to catch my breath I felt the baby moving all around. It was so cool. Its the first time that I can really say it was the baby. It was hard to tell for awhile. I guess the baby likes being tossed around in my belly.

I heard about a way of finding out if its a boy or a girl. Take drano and mix it with your morning urine and if it turns brown that means its a girl and if it turns green/blue its a boy. So I tried it and it turned brown. So maybe its a girl!!! We find out on June 9th at my ultrasound. I wonder if its true? I can't wait to find out!!!!!

June 1st, 18 weeks-

I had a bug for 24 hours. It was horrible. I couldn't keep anything down and my body was so sore. Now that its over, my back is killing me! and I'm exhausted. I felt so guilty not being able to eat anything for so long.

My ultrasound is scheduled for June 9th!!!! I can't wait. 7 more days!!!!

June 5th- I found out today that my oldest sister is pregnant with her second baby. And my other sister is also pregnant with her second. All 3 sisters pregnant at the same time!!! I can't believe it. They will all be about 2-3 months apart. Holidays will be so much fun!

I have been feeling the baby move alot in the last few days. I Love it! Its so cool. I can't wait to see it move on monday!!! My belly button is starting to stick out. Its so wierd. I didn't think it would but it definetly will.

We found out today that its a BABY GIRL !!!!!!! Yay!

June 23 @ 21 weeks- I gained 2 more lbs! Now I'm up to a total of 8lbs gained so far. The doctor said I have not gained much but she is not worried about it yet. She said I should gain 15-25lbs total. I think I may gain more than that from what I hear from other pregnant women. The baby has been moving and kicking alot this week. On sunday Eric was able to feel a few kicks for the first time. We could actually see my belly moving! It was so cool. Now she doesn't stop moving. She is a very active little girl. I have been going to yoga every tuesday and I think its doing me good. Its not prenatal yoga but I have been taking regular yoga for over 2 years now so they say it ok for me to continue. I feel strong and energized. I am alot more flexible than I thought I would be. Hopefully it will help me out during labor and delivery!
