I can’t believe we are finally telling the world that WE ARE PREGNANT!!!
We’ve known about the pregnancy since the beginning of the year and it’s been incredibly challenging to keep this not so little secret to ourselves (which is one of the reasons why I went MIA on my instagram).
The past few months have been surreal, amazing, and unlike any other. From the day we found out, to the moment we told our parents, the first ultrasound, the first time I told a stranger… Every single detail is still so fresh in my mind.
There are so many memories and milestones in this journey and I want to document them all. But more importantly I want to have a place where Pablo and I can one day look back and remember all of the things we’ve gone through.
I am currently on week 20 (halfway there!) and we’ve had a handful of doctor’s visits. Each and every one has been special in its own way. However, there is just something extra special about first one.
First Ultrasound Experience
I was just shy of 8 weeks and in the peak of my morning sickness. To top it off, I had caught a really bad cold and could not even breath (or function) from all the congestion… I was miserable. I considered rescheduling my appointment until I felt better, but we had been looking forward to this day so I decided to go with it… and I am so glad I did!
Pablo and I found ourselves looking at our baby’s first picture and listening to the its heartbeat for the very first time and WOW… that was the most beautiful and insane experience ever!!
During the appointment, the doctor was able to estimate our due date: August 21st — which is 5 days before our 2 year wedding anniversary! We will not be surprised if this little babe decides to arrive on the day of our anniversary instead on its due date.
Either way, this year’s anniversary will certainly be extra special and very different from the last.
Now that the word is out, I am so excited to be able to share and document about my changing bump, and parenthood as we experience this for the first time.
I’ve been recording pretty much everything and in case you are interested, here are some bumpdates so far:
Can’t wait to share our journey and see what’s next! -xo
