You're What?

So, I'm not really sure how it happened, but we went to the doctor today and they found something growing inside me. At first we thought there was something in the water, but the doctor suggested it may have been other activities. I'm still leaning toward the water theory, but either way...

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!

We knew we were pretty far along in our pregnancy, but we had no idea we could be 16 weeks along. We were both surprised. We have been told that the due date for Holloway baby #3 is February 28, 2009.

I have had many mixed emotions about this baby,but after seeing him/her move today and seeing the heart beat, I am feeling more excited. The nurses and doctor were all so happy for us. I guess they had a pretty hard day, because several of them said that we made their day. The head nurse, Lori, is usually pretty good about guessing the gender, but she wasn't sure enough to say what she thought. So, that means you have to wait a month to find out.

Lori asked me how far along I thought I was. I told her," I would guess I am in the 2nd trimester just by the way I am feeling." She giggled saying, "Listen to you, you sound like an old pro."

For those of you wondering, Yes, we have known for a while, but we like to get out of the danger zone (make you think of Top Gun, anyone?) before we like to tell anyone. I would venture to say that we are past that point. I am happy we are too, because the 1st trimester is a booger to me. I am exausted all the time, I can't eat anything(much less cook anything), and most of the time I am throwing up. I went through part of this at Mom and Dad's house while we were recieving food from the Relief Society. You can imagine how that went. I knew that we had moved onto the 2nd trimester when pizza didn't make me gag anymore(that seems to be the worst for me at the beginning). That actually was the first sign for me. We were at Lita and Papa's house(Jason's parents) when Papa made pizza and I couldn't eat it without feeling sick. I was so upset, but that tipped me off. So, no offense Papa, it was the baby not me. Now comes the hard part, trying to not eat EVERYTHING that sounds good to me so I don't gain a ton.

I will be posting regularly with check-ups, so keep watching. I also have a baby tracker so you know how much longer it will be.
