We are now 13 weeks! That means we are in the second trimester! YAY! We got to see baby today, everything looks great so far. We had testing done to check the baby for abnormalities... I checked to make sure it wasn't the same tests they did when I was pregnant with Jaxon, because I really didn't want to stress... but good news! Everything looks normal!

So far, this pregnancy has been fairly mellow like my last two. No morning sickness! I haven't been quite as tired as I was with Jax, but I have many food aversions and have been getting headaches and head burn much sooner!

How did I find out I was pregnant? Well, we had been trying for about 2 months.. so I had been tracking my cycles very closely... I took the test the end of June while I was at my sister Whitney's house for her ultrasound (I was very sneaky and didn't tell anyone but my mom who was there with me!) My cycle should have started that day, but it hadn't and I just HAD to know! Sure enough, it was positive!! It was so hard not to explode the news to the whole world right then! But we decided it was best not to tell anyone until we had seen the baby on an ultrasound.

We're Expecting!!

The cat is out of the bag my friends! The Taylor's are taking over! We are expecting a new addition to our family on February 28th, 2015.

Our first ultrasound was about 8 weeks, we are about 11 weeks along now! We couldn't be more excited!

Pregnant?!

You know you hear all these stories of people not knowing they were pregnant for months on end, this was not the case for me AT ALL. 3 weeks in, I knew. How would I know before a test could tell me? It is amazing how a simple creature of habit like me could notice the tiniest changes in my body.

Suddenly, my ON THE DOT sleeping schedule turned into 12/13 hour nights and a Saturday on the couch. I had no appetite for Chipotle (which NEVER happens) and I really didn't want to move. At first I was sure I was suffering for depression. And it wasn't until some *physical* changes.. a light bulb went off in my head.

I wished I had depression... I wished hard! For all you girls who grow up in strong church families (whatever religion it may be) can only imagine what I was going through.

So I made a doctors appointment. First of all, pregnancy testes are impossible to read, and I didn't even know if I was far enough along to tell with one.

The doctor's office made me pee in a cup and wait for 25 MINUTES! That is pure torture if you ask me. Then when the doctor finally did come in with the results, he beat around the bush and slid it into casual conversation! I was immediately a wreck. Mostly, actually like 99% out of fear of my parents.

The rest of the stress didn't settle until much later. But regardless I was supposed to go back to work following my appointment and it seemed nearly impossible. I called my boss and she was kind enough to talk me down, only to follow a very emotional conversation with Colton.
