Originally we weren't going to start our family until after we both were finished with school but decided we could probably handle just one year juggling having a baby and going to school (with some convincing from my sister, Kristy). I don't know why, but she really wanted us to start having kids! haha To be honest, it didn't take much convincing. I have a lot of volunteered help from my family to help with watching the baby while we go to school and am so grateful for that.
I can't believe how easy it was for us to conceive. I figured we'd have a few months of "trying". Boy was I wrong! We immediately got pregnant! Fertile Mertile I guess.
I am currently 13 weeks. Due April 6th. We got to hear the heart beat yesterday. It was quite amazing. I haven't been able to think it's real until I actually heard that heart beat. It's crazy to think I have this little living being with it's own heart beat growing inside me!
I have been exceptionally lucky with my first trimester. I have not had any nausea. I feel super blessed. I don't know what I'd do with school and work if I was struggling with that.
I have been VERY tired though. I normally am tired anyway, but oh my gosh! I pretty much pass out at like 8 each night!
We are so thrilled to start our family and feel so blessed that Heavenly Father has allowed us to care for one of his children. I can't wait to see what all the different stages of pregnancy brings and can't wait for the little guy or girl to get here! (though I'm really not ready at all) :)
