Spilling the beans

That, my friends, is a picture of a tiny human going in my belly! I’m pregnant! He or she is pretty cute, huh? I’m pretty sure she/he’s waving at us in that sonogram picture! That was at my 12 week appointment, and the little peach was 3 inches long. I’ve done a little foreshadowing on the blog, I posted 22 gender reveal ideas as I was searching for some clever ways to make that announcement when the time comes!

I’m trying to be a good documenter over here. Well, honestly I’m trying to be a good pregnant girl. You know not eating raw eggs (no cookie dough?!), sushi, adult beverages, the list goes on and on.  I’ve been pretty lucky as far as the whole “How am I feeling?” thing goes. No morning sickness. Well, those vitamins didn’t make me feel very good, but I finally figured out that if I take one right before I go to bed, then it doesn’t bother me. Oh and I’m sleepy, super sleepy. My eyes start to close everyday at 3-ish and I have to lay down for 30 minutes! I guess my first trimester is over, so they tell me I’m supposed to get a lot of energy back! We’ll see about that! I don’t exactly have a baby bump to share yet, I’ve gained a few pounds but really only noticeable to me (and my jeans!), see:

So, let’s talk about finding out your pregnant, the initial test. Were you overwhelmed with excitement or scared to death? I’m just super curious because I was 100% in the scared/ shocked to death category. We always knew we wanted to have a kid or 2, but it was certainly not in the next oh 9 month plan. (Little one, if you ever read this, you are a very loved surprise!) Not that we really have a plan, so yea. We feel very lucky/ blessed/ fortunate that we are having a baby! I just feel so… hmm… nervous? I mean I’m going to be in charge of caring for a human?! Eek. I can barely keep plants alive and feeding Andy and I actual meals proves to be tricky most nights. Here’s the fun picture I shared last week on my personal facebook page:

So, expect lots of baby things happening here on C.R.A.F.T.! And the baby fest is starting tomorrow! I’ll be sharing an awesome round up of pregnant Halloween costumes! I so wish I was going to have a bump for Halloween… maybe I will? Oh and I’ve got a secret pinterest board all about the little bambino’s nursery that I can’t wait to share with y’all too! Oh baby, this is gonna be fun (pun intended)! Anyone else pregnant? Due at the end of March 2014? Pregnant tips? I’d love to hear!

UPDATE: Here’s more on the baby front:  The black and white nursery plan, painting the igloo, bambino gets a crib, the great rug hunt, the big bad mirror, and the gender reveal party.
