and then there were three...

i am giddy...and about to get really personal on my blog which doesn't happen too often...

cause something crazy is happening inside of my body right now...it's magical and miraculous and all of those warm, fuzzy, gushy things people say it is...

i'm gonna be a mommy :)

this mother's day is taking on a whole new meaning for me...MY LIFE is taking on a whole new meaning for me...priorities are shifting and i am gaining an understanding of what's really important...we love this little one so much already...SO, SO much...of course i'm tearing up now just writing this...

we feel incredibly blessed to have such amazing support from our family, friends, church and of course the wedding and event world!

everyone, meet baby...

baby, meet everyone...

(it had its little hand up to its face in this picture so thats why it looks like its blowing a bubble out of its mouth)

this is the baby onesie i have had stashed in my underwear drawer for the past 6 months...brian always told me he wanted an eames chair but its an ongoing joke that i won't allow him to drop $600 on a chair that isn't even comfortable...so when i saw this onesie on etsy i knew it would be the perfect way for me to share the news with brian someday...

in terms of how things are going, i've been having every symptom of the first trimester except the actual throwing up part (thank goodness!)...but during all that nausea and fatigue, there were definitely things that kept me afloat...and let's be honest, are STILL keeping me afloat ;)

oranges and tangelos

shredded wheat

chewy fruit candies (gummy bears, swedish fish, twizzlers etc.)

TATER TOTS!!

mcd's vanilla ice cream cones

sliced cheddar cheese and almonds

fruit popsicles

lay's salt and vinegar potato chips

watermelon

chocolate milk made with nesquik powder - i actually haven't indulged in this yet but i think about it all the time...trying not to give in and buy the powder cause it could lead to obsessive intake...seriously...

now that i am in week 14, i feel like the nausea is going away and my energy level is coming back...just in time for our europe trip, which we're leaving for this weekend - hooray!

we're assuming it will be our last international vacation for a while so we are going to enjoy every minute of it - baby bump and all! :)
