So once Teki and I were married we both knew we wanted to start a family. We have been dating FOREVER and were so ready to expand our family. So we started trying... not really thinking it would be that easy but only one month after being married I got pregnant. We didn't find out till I was already about a month and a half, I wasn't feeling sick or anything I had just missed my period and wanted to find out, so I took a test on August 30th and it came out positive!
We decided to wait to tell our families, I was actually pretty scared to tell my parents, but we knew they would all be very excited! Teki couldn't contain his excitement and actually told his coworkers the next day. I did a little better and kept the secret for a couple days then I only told my sister Jenn. On Sept. 6th, which was Labor Day we announced to Teki's family that we were pregnant and they were all so happy and excited. I ended up telling my sister Mele and told her to tell my parents, I was still too scared. Worried that since we were living in their house they would be upset that we didn't have money or a plan for all of this but I was wrong and they were so happy and excited to hear the news. I went for my first Dr. appointment October 12th, we found out I was 11 weeks along and put my due date as April 28th. The doctor tried to listen to the heartbeat with the little device they use but wasn't able to find it, so she got the little ultrasound machine and we got to see our little baby for the first time. It was so amazing to see a little baby growing inside me. We were so excited!! I was able to get an early ultrasound because I had had a cyst on my ovary in the past, and they wanted to make sure that it hadn't come back and everything was okay. So I went in on October 26th and got my first ultrasound based on the size of the baby they put me 2 weeks ahead of my original due date and changed it to April 17th. It was so exciting to see my baby moving around inside of me as they pointed out all the parts and organs of my baby. I loved her so much already!
The pregnancy has gone really well, for the first trimester starting the day I found out I was pregnant I started feeling nauseous all the time, but I only actually threw up for about a week. So I have been lucky. The first time I felt my baby move was on November 14 when I was 17 almost 18 weeks along. It was the weirdest feeling and I wasn't even sure that it was the baby until I actually saw my stomach moving. It was so cool and amazing and it has been so amazing to feel her moving almost every day since then. On December 6th when I was 21 weeks along we went in for another ultrasound and to find out the sex of the baby. I didn't really care either way I was just so happy to be expanding our family. Naturally Teki wanted a boy but he was still very happy to find out it was a GIRL.
I am now 25 weeks along so about half way through my sixth month. Everything is going so well and Teki and I are both so excited to be parents. It's getting closer and closer to her being here and we can't wait to welcome her into our family and just love her! She will be Teki's parents first grandchild, my mom's first grandchild, my dad's first grand daughter Teki's grandma's first great grand daughter and my mom's parents first great grandchild. She will defiantly be loved and SPOILED!!!! Can't wait to meet our little princess!
