This little baby is making me TIRED! I am so sleepy and I have been sleeping about 10 hours each night!! I am up and down all night long, so its not a consistant 10 hours. I have been drinking warm milk EVERY NIGHT to help me fall asleep. I didn't believe my momma at first, but its true! It really does work! I am almost into my 2nd Trimester so hopefully the sleepliness will ease up soon.
Les and I are so amazed with all the changes my body is going through. I eat more than Les does! And my belly is starting to take a round shape, not just the little pooch below the belly button. It is also starting to get kind of hard! Ive started using belly bands so I have not had to buy any new clothes yet. Im sure that will come soon enough! My doctor said that I will show quickly because I was so tiny to start with. I hope I can get back to that size after my little angel arrives!
We have started looking at baby things, but is hard without knowing the sex. I cant wait to find out so I can start picking out stuff! I am only 11 weeks so we have another month and a half until we get to see. We have an idea of the bedding and some things that we want for either sex, but Im sure we will change our minds over the coming months.
We can't wait for you little one!! We love you so so much already!!

Lets see how this goes....
Now that Lester and I are having a baby; I thought it would be nice to document the pregnancy and to allow friends and family a way to keep up with everything that is happening! I promise to TRY to update this as often as possible, but no guarantees!!
On December 3rd, I was getting ready to substitute and I realized that my "monthly gift" was about a week late. I decided to take a pregnancy test at 6:30 in the morning and when I saw the (THIRD) "plus" sign I ran into the bedroom and woke up Les to share the news. I barely gave him a chance to wake up!! After school I realized that I had a million phone calls and messages and even though I was less than 5 weeks preggo, it was already time to spread the news! My parents were in Las Vegas and they did not answer the phone for two whole days! I was going crazy not being able to talk to my Momma. Finally, everyone was informed and it started to sink in!
First things first!
My sister warned me about stretch marks seconds after I told her I was pregnant, so I bought belly cream and a couple books... The books are not as exciting as all the websites, but they are nice to have around.
I am now just shy of 11 weeks and I feel very fortunate. I have barely felt pregnant! No sickness and no hard core cravings. My sense of smell is very strong, my skin is very dry and I'm tired a lot. If I could sleep 15 hours every day I would be thrilled!! We have our first ultrasound in 10 days and we get to see our little one! We can't wait!
We don't have names picked out yet, but we have a few in mind that we are considering. I hope to go to the hospital with a couple names for each sex....One part of me wants to see my baby before I officially name him or her. The "Planner Part" in me is really freaked out by that other part. But we have a while to decide. Thank goodness.
Thanks for reading! Ill try to keep up with this on a pretty regular basis. Once I learn how to post pictures, Ill put some belly pictures up. I am starting to show a little bit!!!
