I don't even know where to start! So much has happened and I've been horrible about recording any of it! Well, I guess ill start with this, and it's going to be kind of scatter-brained:
In early January Walker and I found out that we are expecting our first baby! When we found out, of course we were happy and excited, but it was hard to wrap our minds around it. In December we thought I was pregnant, and since I had to go to the OB/GYN anyway, I just took a test there at the clinic. However, it came back negative. A couple of weeks later, I had been having some funny symptoms to make us both think maybe this time I really was pregnant (the biggest symptom being a weird and then missed period). So we went to the store, grabbed a couple of pregnancy tests and went home. I didn't actually take the tests until a couple of days later. I think I didn't want to see the result if it was negative. But it wasn't! I took two, and almost immediately both of them showed positive! A week later we went back in to the doctors, took a test, and it was confirmed! They even said I must have been pregnant the first time I came in, and for some reason the test just came back negative.
Early Symptoms
I really haven't had any symptoms too bad. For the first four months I had morning sickness and threw up a few times. My body was aching in ways i never knew it could. It's funny because as we were coming out of the doctors office after we found out that we really were expecting, Walker says (about the book they gave us on pregnancy) "I'm going to read this before I go to bed tonight." lol I said "Uh, Walker I'M the one who's pregnant and needs to read that." And he just said "You can read it after me." ....lol This guy cracks me up. So now he knows everything about being pregnant. Well, he thinks so. I wake up in the middle of the night a lot now and the first time and he asked me what was wrong and I said "my hips are killing me!" and he said "Here's a pillow, put it between your knees. That should make it better." lol I just love him so much. The first time we heard the heart beat, both Walker and I had a surreal and emotional moment. I started feeling the baby moving around the 18th week, but didn't always recognize it. About a month ago, I was worried about the baby because I thought I hadn't felt anything at all. After I got off work we went to Immediate Care to see if there was anyone available just to listen to our babies heart beat and calm our nerves. Well, they didn't have the necessary equipment and sent us to the ER... Yeah, I know. I felt so ridiculous in there! I just wanted to hear babies heart beat! They brought us to this huge room and had me lay on the bed. When the nurse came in, she couldn't find the heart beat right away. She told us she had to go get a newer machine since she couldn't hear anything. It scared Walker and I to death. I couldn't hold back the tears. Luckily, however, it didn't take her long to find the heart beat when she came back. And what a relief! Now at 6 months and 4 days, it feels like the baby is doing some serious martial arts sometimes. lol DEFINITELY Walker's baby. lol
We're Having a Boy!
May 15 we went in and had THE ultrasound to find our whether our little one was a boy or a girl. Guess what?! We're having a BOY!! Walker even requested a picture of our little one the clearly shows we're having a boy as proof. lol We are both so happy. I feel like now I can start day dreaming about all this little boy stuff and what I would buy (if we had the money). I would say we knew, but you can't really know until the ultrasound. But whenever we talked about the baby, it just felt so natural to say "he". Both of our families kind of knew too. When we told Walker's mom we're having a boy, she said "Yeah, I know." lol I've already said it, but we're just so happy and everything feels just RIGHT.

OK! Now that I've finished that novel.. lol What else is there.. We moved! Well, we're still in Corvallis but we moved off campus (and thank goodness)! Our neighbors smoked marijuana all the time and we shared a vent with them, so our place always smelled so strong, except our bedroom (which is where i stayed 95% of the time I was home). PLUS our other neighbors had cockroaches and guess who else was blessed with them? Yup. It's just so nice to be off campus. Also, we're in a bigger place and our rent is cheaper. AND all of our neighbors have kids, so I wont be worried about annoying anyone with the babies crying. But really.. I don't think i'll give a rats tail.. lol So I think that's all for now! And the plan is to start blogging a lot more often, like at least once week. (Crossing my fingers!) Btw, if someone were to read my journal, this post is pretty much how it sounds. lol
