14 Weeks




Here it is...first "belly" pic. Now I definitely wasn't a small girl to begin with but I'm definitely growing. The pants no longer fit which is a good sign I guess. First time in my life I can be excited about it :)



Weight gained: 2lbs.


Cravings: Freezer Pops, Laffy Taffy, Reese's Puffs, and wedding cake (still haven't satisfied the cake craving yet though)




1st Sonogram

Our first prenatal appointment was on May 18th. It was exciting but scary. They give you SO much information I was a little overwhelmed and would ask Aaron "did they say...?" Of course he was still in shock I think so he didn't know! Everything seemed to be great and they gave us a due date of December 25th. That's right a "Christmas Baby". We scheduled our first ultrasound and off we went with lots of knowledge to dissolve.



I had been feeling so good I kept saying "I don't even feel pregnant" and said I needed that proof that there was a baby in there to really believe I was pregnant. Of course the first few weeks before we knew I'd tell Aaron I didn't feel well but it really didn't cross our minds that I was pregnant. It happened so quick I thought maybe I was just being whiny! I've had minor nauseau and am very, very tired but otherwise don't have much to complain about :)


June 18th we finally got that "proof" I needed! What am amazing experience to see this tiny baby moving around on a screen and to know that is inside you. First thing I did when he/she popped up on the screen was look at aaron and say "There is a baby in there!". Heart rate was great at 162 and we got to hear it beating as well. Most say they cry at the first said and of course I laughed. It was so weird to see arms moving and the baby spinning knowing it's inside of you and you can't feel anything. I can't wait until the first time I can actually feel it! Due date has now been moved to December 22nd.

Sharing the Big News




Aaron and I found out we were expecting on April 25, 2010 first thing in the a.m! They say you get the best results in the a.m. so I kept putting off testing (as I was 5 days late) until the "right time". Aaron was asleep and I said "you need to get in here".....the test said "PREGNANT". He stood there in shock, I was shaking, then we didn't know what to do. After trying to go back to sleep we eventually got up and went to breakfast and get groceries. Then we drove around dreaming of the houses we said we "needed" to buy now that we had a baby on the way!

We chose to tell our families while we were together, a few people found out because my face said it all, and others had suspicions, but we "officially" told people on what was planned to be my birthday party on Memorial Day weekend. Aaron asked for our parents to come over early to help get set-up and it was really so we could share our big news. He called everyone in the kitchen to look at the birthday cake that he made me...which said...Kalee's Pregnant! My mom cried, dad immediately went to the fridge for a cold beverage, and his parents were in shock! After friends and family arrived he showed everyone else as well. It was great to watch people's reactions!!

Well...it's official...i'm a blogger!
