from the moment i found out i was pregnant i have been dreaming of the day that we would welcome that lil baby to our home. i so look forward to that soooo much!!

yesterday jake & i took a trip to the doctors office for my check up. i was so excited to hear the heartbeat & have the doctor tell us that it sounds really strong. knowing that my baby is healthy is always so comforting to hear. ((not that i am constantly worrying...just nice to hear)) before leaving our appointment jake asked if we could find out what we are having. our doctor informed us that our next appt will be when we have a full ultrasound to measure the baby, find out the sex, & we will get a DVD to show the rest of our family BUT our wonderful doctor told us he would take a look for us to find out what we are having!

i was sooooo beyond nervous for some reason to find out what our lil one is...when they were checking my heart rate the nurse had to keep redoing it because it was "a lil high" why was i nervous?!?! because this whole time i have been banking on a sweet baby boy & shoot we have a 50/50 chance of a boy or a girl! now was the time to really find out if our baby i have been calling a boy was actually a boy & happily i can announce that my feelings were right! we will be welcoming lil baby beckham kleiman to our family in februrary & i am so beyond thrilled to be his momma.

of course driving home from the doctors office i began to cry looking at jake & realizing all of this is really happening...we are being blessed with a lil child of god & i couldnt be more happy about being his mom!

friday we announced to our family the gender of our baby with a lil party! check out these fun pictures!

LoVin' My BaBy

so i am a lil behind on updating the blog...our lil has been growing all kinds of bigger lately & i am noticing it all the time.

((i never feel like taking pictures but occasionally do just to send to grandma in california who doesnt get to see this lil man/girl grow. so sadly the quality of pictures is iphone best! i am going to try & be better about taking pictures...hopefully))

15 weeks!

 

 

total weight gain: 2 pounds

maternity clothes: not yet

stretch marks: no...praying that all the lotion & bio oil i use will prevent that from ever happening

sleep: hardly. i am always too hot, or too cold & then of course i have to pee every hour

best moment this week: hearing babies heartbeat ((thank you lindsey)) sweetest sound i have ever heard. it sounds similar to a washing machine but of course much much cuter

miss anything?: lots...sleep for sure, my boobs being smaller, working out, & having energy

movement: sometimes i think i feel something but it could be my belly just growing

food cravings: not really, i like "real foods" nothing sweet & absolutely no breakfast foods

anything making you queasy or sick?: my "morning" sickness that hasnt completely gone away, i cant ever go a day without taking my medicine

are you showing?: YES! but sometimes i feel like people just think i am fat not pregnant yet

gender: we go see my doctor on thursday but are finding out at our gender reveal party on friday night! so excited!

labor signs: no...thank goodness, i am for sure not ready for that. even the thought terrifies me right now

belly button in or out?: in

wedding rings on or off?: on

happy or moody most of the time?: happy unless you wake me up ((just kidding...kinda))

looking forward to: our lil baby here...i am so ready to be a mom



My LiL LiMe

sweet day! holy cow...today has been the first day in what seems like forever that i have felt well. well enough to blog, to eat (which rarely has been happening), & also not have to get sick every couple minutes/hours. it has been a day to be GRATEFUL for! i am especially grateful to those that have been keeping me in their prayers & helping me out. it means so much! thank you!

10.5 week baby bump

10 weeks

• it makes me giddy seeing my belly grow
• at my doctors appointment this week baby had grown soooo much, no more lil gummy bear...it was wonderful to see all the changes that your body has made in just a short amount of time. next appointment we will be able to hear your heartbeat...your dad & i are excited for that!
• i am beyond tired all the time, i could sleep all day if i would let myself. i usually fall asleep shortly after 6 & then sleep until i have to wake up for work
• i have been able to keep down ice cold water with lemon & some foods. i have only been getting sick in the morning, then it wares off after about 1pm
• cravings this week- cereal (all kinds) with almond milk, salad with pine nuts, bread & not often but a couple times this week i will think i want something sweet so i will buy it & try it, then hate it! i am pretty sure sweets will be a no go for awhile.
• i wish it was already time to meet you my lil one!

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!

to view our baby video click here

yep. we are future parents to be in februrary 2013...that date seems so far off right now but i know the time will fly by & to be honest I CANT WAIT! -pregnancy so far has been sooooo hard..sooooo hard! ((i usually dont like to complain but in this case i will share)) when i first found out i was pregnant, it was a monday morning (i had not even missed my period yet but just thought to take a test because i had been so anxious to get pregnant) to my unbelief 2 pink lines showed up on that stick & all i could do was think "holy crap, we got pregnant!" that whole day i was on cloud 9, smiling from ear to ear! i wanted to tell jake in a cute way so that day i went out & bought 2 more boxes of pregnancy tests & a fathers day card. i took a few (10) tests over the next couple days & put them in a baggie & sent jake a card telling him Happy Future Father's day! WE ARE PREGNANT! & mailed it to him. that whole week jake would NOT check the mail...i tried hinting but didnt want to make it obvious. while all this is happening behind the scenes...jake is continuing to ask me every day "is there something you need to tell me?" -so being the terrible liar that i am i couldnt help but smile at him & say "we're having a baby!!!" after being asked 20 times.

for 2 weeks i felt great...i was eating really well, drinking lots of water, working out every day, i thought this whole pregnancy thing was going to be a walk in the park! then it hit me like nothing else! now i throw up all day, every day & cant keep anything down, including fluids so i have been extremely dehydrated. i now have to go get IV therapy treatments weekly. i am on every nausea medication that you can think of but nothing works.

working has been super hard on me lately because i feel like i cant function at all without running to the bathroom every couple minutes to get sick. i had to drop my hours from full time to part time because it was so hard on me. i feel like i am putting so much weight on jakes shoulders right now with being so sick...i cant help but cry just thinking of how much i rely on him right now to help me & how he is soooo helpful & loving in every way. i am beyond grateful to have such an amazing husband that truly does everything for me & still says i am beautiful after not showering for 2 days & not being able to put on makeup, not shaving my legs, my hair not being brushed, etc...i think you get the idea. it has definitely been a hard few weeks & i am sure the next couple weeks will be just as hard but i know this is only temporary & heavenly father will be blessing us all along this journey.

9 weeks

• my due date is wednesday februrary 20th, 2013
• i feel sick every day & there is no bump yet except sometimes i like to think there is
• i am always burning hot
• my favorite thing to eat is ice chips currently
• we met our doctor this week & he looks/acts like george lopez! yes i have a comedian delivering my baby. he seems great just a ball of energy which i have none of at this time so it was a tad overwhelming.
• good news there is only ONE baby! yes i was nervous there were 2 when jake shared the news that twins run in his family
• predictions on gender- we both really want a boy but think we are having a girl, of course as long as the baby is happy & healthy that is all we really want!!!

my 24th birthday!

WoWzA! cant believe i am already 24...time truly does fly by! this time last year, jake & i became officially boyfriend & girlfriend! it has truly been the best 1+ year of my life ever since we started our future together. so much has happened already & i look forward to the future eternity that we will be spending together. this birthday has already been a great one...jake made me the most amazing book cases for me! -just my style & everything! he is so perfect in every way. i am a very lucky lady.

the backing has a light, light blue chevron stripes! i cant wait to start decorating it...i will for sure post pictures of the finished product of what i come up with. i want it to look more elegant than stocked with books.
thank you sweet husband for making these for me & letting me go on a MAJOR shopping spree for home decor. ((just dont look at the account for awhile-love you))

TiMe FLyS bY wHeN yOu ArE hAvInG Fun!

it is the truth...time truly has been going by so fast! i feel like jake & i just got married last month but yet we are almost 8 months into our eternity together! i recently bought a mountain bike to join jake on his rides...((i know i am a pretty rad wife doing "guy stuff" things)) 

i love, love, love my bike! the trails we go on are so pretty as well...i love the up hill ride, it is the down hill part that i feel like my life is at risk! -plus i have the case of terrible clumsiness! for instince yesterday jake & i went to the store to pick up some food before a party we were going to & as we are walking out i fell...not like oops triped a lil over myself, nope it was more like smack down land on the ground couldnt help but laugh uncontrolable to stop myself from crying bawling! i was a lil traumitized by the whole experience...needless to say i am still learning to be graceful! ((hope it will come eventually))

here are some pictures of us riding lately! i love my man so much

&

a new addition was added to the family! baby benson...CONGRATS lindsey, jason & sadie! he is perfect! jake & i got a new cousin.

now i need one :)

someday
