UPCLOSE...12 weeks

It's true... we are expecting our first little one around April 23rd, which puts me at about 13 weeks!!! I'm hoping there won't be much more of this fabulous thing called "morning" sickness, because I'm not going to lie... I'm kind of getting sick of hanging out with my porcelin best friend and eatting only within the BRAT diet. UGH... please tell me it will all be worth it in the end!! I need all the encouragement I can get.
Everytime I feel I want to give up and I just can't take it any more I just look at this sweet little picture of my peanut and I smile, and I realize I have something amazing growing inside of me and it helps me to keep going. But I think as punishment for making me so sick, my little baby's first chore in life is going to be cleaning toilets :-)

Oh my gosh you guys!!!! Congratulations! This is awesome news and that little picture is the most precious thing ever. I'm so happy for you both. Except the morning sickness thing. Stop that if you can. ;)

It's totally worth it -- you'll start feeling better soon! Once you start feeling that baby kick, you're gonna love it.

Plus you know who you can call and commiserate with if you need to. :)

Oh, it's definitely worth it! Hang in there, it's not easy getting through the sickness part. But hopefully you'll be out of it soon! I'm so happy for you guys!

YEAH!!! Congratulations! It's totally worth it in the end - and looking back now I don't feel like pregnancy was that long (so hopefully the hard times will disappear in your mind when you are loving that sweet little person). You should be feeling better soon too since you're heading into the 2nd trimester. :) Yeah, again!

Muah, cute pic. Hopefully you'll feel better soon and will get the 2nd trimester burst of energy. Then, at least if you feel crappy, you can at least do stuff!

We couldn't be happier for you guys. Good luck with the sickies, they are no fun at all.

YAY! SO excited for you! It is a million times worth it! When you get to hold them in your arms in the hospital - it is like nothing else in this world. I can't wait to be updated with all the details through the whole process!
