15 weeks...tomorrow

Well, I am one week away from being 4 months pregnant. Things are going surprisingly well (much better than last time)!!

Somethings that are not picture perfect is the nausea 24/7. With the nausea I lost 5 pounds in one week and haven't checked my weight since but I'm sure it hasn't increased much if at all. I can NOT be around raw chicken. The smell of it cooking, looking at it or tasting it makes me gag Another thing I have found I can't be around is anything grape! Brady LOVES grape kool-aid and I have actually thrown up from the smell of it. So anything grape is not allowed near my nose. I have had to wear maternity clothes since I am no longer able to squeeze into my regular jeans...but this is a good thing since it shows that Baby Ellis is growing!

Other than the nausea and sensitivity to foods...I have been GREAT!! We are anxious for things to start becoming more exciting. I haven't felt the baby yet (that I know of) and I can't wait to get out of the stage where I look like I could be over weight. My own grandmother told me "either you're pregnant or you're letting yourself go"! I was shocked at the comment but it's a good thing she told me that AFTER I had told her I was pregnant.

We bought this little baby a cute Michigan onesie. It can go either gender and Brady was anxious to finally be able to buy a cute little Michigan outfit.

Well, that's all for now. I have my 4 month check up on the 9th so hopefully everything is going well! I will post pictures later when I get some uploaded...

BABY #2 ON THE WAY!!

Since you all are reading this, you have heard our GREAT news!! Brady and I are expecting our second child on February 18th 2010! We have never been more excited than we are now. So I'll just take you through the past three months:

We found out I was pregnant on June 18th 2009! We were so excited that we called our good friends, Travis and Alisha, and then celebrated!!

A few weeks into July, I was diagnosed with having a kidney stone...not fun!! However, we did get to see our little "peanut" with my first visit to the ER and everything looked great!

3 weeks later I passed my kidney stone!

2 days after I passed my kidney stone, we had a little scare. I had started bleeding really bad and headed straight to the doctors office. Everything seemed fine and we got to see our baby this time!! He or She is no longer a "peanut"!
Now I am 12 weeks along and headed into my second trimester! Hopefully it's not as eventful as the first :) I have been feeling great ever since I passed that kidney stone and I hope that it continues to be a wonderful experience.
