This past week has been so much fun. Last Saturday I was sitting in the car waiting for Nate to get gas and I felt her. I felt her kick me or move or something. It was such an amazing feeling. I instantly started to tear up and called for Nate. He wasn't able to feel her kicking since she had stopped.
Later that night after we had come home from doing house work on our new place, I sat down and started to relax and that is when she went CRAZY!! I had Nate put his hand on my belly, and he FINALLY felt her kicking around.
Ever since then I feel like she has been having full blown kicking tantrums in my belly.
I think from that point forward, it was totally setting in that we are having a baby. Even now as I type this, it is simply amazing that in just 5 short months we will be proud parents of a little baby girl. OH MAN!!! I really am truly blessed and excited that we are having a baby and that I get to go through this with Nate but also my little sister, who is also preggers and my sister-in-law that is preggers. Next summer is going to be so much fun!!!
Well that is it for my happy post tonight. Just wanted to let all you guys know what has been going on!!
Till next time

5 Months ALREADY!!??? And some ranting.....
Wow this past month has FLOWN by!! Lets catch up and have some fun....
1. Found out that we are having a . . . . GIRL!!!
Yep that is about all the good news I have right now. When we found out that we are having a girl I was straight shocked. I thought this whole time that I was having a boy. So much so that I had the whole nursery planned out and his name picked out. Welp, so much for that!!
Now you may be thinking, "Camry do you now have a name for your little girl?" Yes, we have a name picked out, however, NO we are not going to be spilling the beans on her name. We found out early on that telling people our names that we love vs. names that we kinda like is really just like asking people what their stand on the president is.
IF you are someone that has not gone through being preggers or having a significant other that has been preggers than let me give you some pointers.
Pregnant women do not want to hear that you don't like one of the names they are thinking of naming their baby. Period. That's like me telling you, "Oh man your name sucks. I really can't believe your parents named you that!!" Rude right??
Nope, I don't really care about the girl in high school that was mean to you that also has the same name as my child will have. Because guess what? She probably has turned out to be a nice person and you're still an opinionated a-hole.
Yes, I love to here your favorite names. However, if you tell me a name and I fall in love with it, don't get mad if I name my baby it. First come, first serve as I see it.
Nope, just because someone that you are related to is further along in their pregnancy, does not mean that they started a trend. A trend is more along the lines of a haircut, a purse, different hair colors, what you wear. But definitely not, whats in your uterus is the start to a trend.
Lastly, DO NOT tell a pregnant lady that she is HUGE. Or if you know she is only having 1 child, DO NOT tell her it looks as though she is going to be having twins, triplets or anything more than that. I am giving a fair warning to all of you reading this, If anyone says I am huge, I will take you out. And then if you gain ANY weight at all, I will make sure that you definitely know that you are. Literally.
I would rather hear nails on a chalk board than someone tell me that I look like a baby blue whale. You wouldn't think that people would say something like that but I hear it ALL the time when people are talking about their pregnant friend. Yes, their belly is probably HUGE. However, they are GROWING a human in their body. What the frick do you think you're body is going to do in a situation like that??
As I read over this post, I can't help but to laugh. And I hope I have made you laugh also.

4 months and fluttering??
So this past week I hit the 4 month mark. Which is really exciting to Nate and myself. This is the time that my belly is growing by the second and it doesn't feel like I am "fluffy" anymore. I have had multiple people ask me if I can feel the baby. I have said yes and no to answer this question but to be completely honest, I really don't know what I am feeling for?? They say it feels like butterflies fluttering around in your stomach or it feels like gas. Well, I have felt both and I still can not say for certain that it is my little baby or nerves or dinner. I'm hoping that I will feel something definitive soon!!
This is also the time that we find out if we are having a girl nugget or a boy nugget. We are taking bets this week, since next week we have our BIG ultra sound and they tell us bows or bow-ties. It is so funny because my dad has said from the very beginning that it is a girl, yet I have the strongest feeling that it is a boy.... Hmm I guess the waiting continues.
Anyways, here is my 4 month picture to keep you all updated. Just a warning, It was 9 at night and I had just had a big dinner, so that might add to the belly being much bigger this month.... or it might be because there is a BABY growing in my freaking tummy!! :)

Closet break down....
So going through this 1st pregnancy is such a blessing and a roller coaster at the same time. You moms out there know what I am talking about.
One day I fit into EVERYTHING, and then the next day I can not fit into ANYTHING in my closet. So needless to say, this past weekend I had my very first meltdown. Don't laugh. Well, ok you can laugh, since my husband filmed it because he though I needed to be put on a 5150 hold.
Going through my closet and pulling out all the short tank tops that no one wants to see on a preggers was actually pretty funny to look at imagine the stares and glares that people would give me if I actually wore them in public. Well, after my meltdown and then closet raid/throw away, my husband decided that a shopping trip was in order. Geez, I knew I loved him... I should have his babies.
Maternity clothes shopping is kinda overwhelming for the 1st go around. Here's what was going through my head.
1. How big is my belly REALLY going to get??
2. What size do I start off with?
3. Yes I want all pants to be equipped with a belly band, even when I'm not preggers.
After voicing my concerns to my husband about sizing and colors and patterns, a super nice women, that was also shopping, started to give me the low down on everything. Start with the size you normally wear and then maybe when you belly gets bigger go up a size. Pants are what size you wear now, ect. ect.
With that information in hand, I was picking everything off the racks. It was super fun to plan ahead and pick out different outfits with a belly in mind. Nate had fun too and was helping with colors and patterns. We both came to the conclusion, pregnant women wear A LOT of stripes!!! Which is great because I'm pretty sure I look good in stripes.
Well that is all for now! Till next time.

Changing my profession.... Maybe
Wow, who knew that being pregnant would be so .... uncomfortable??? I have been having aches and pains lately and trying to deal with them. Body pillows, ice packs and heating packs. Oh how I miss hot baths!! But, no one wants a hard boiled nugget!
Last night Nate and I went over to his parents house for dinner. It was a yummy mexican themed dinner. I brought a delicious tortilla soup that was 100% vegan! It was a hit!
Anyways, after dinner Nate and I got into a little wrestling match. Now if you know Nate and I, our wrestling matches are more like a match that should be televised on WWE. So of course, I win by squeezing my opponent like an anaconda. All of a sudden I hear and feel a pop of my hip and I'm down for the count. Now my hips have been hurting lately but nothing ice and relaxing can't fix.
I wish I would have taken pictures of me last night in head stands, hand stands, shoulder stands with my legs touching the ground. You name it, I tried it. After about 20 - 30 minutes of trying everything that came to mind, Nate's mom gave me two Tylenol for the pain. And then the water works and rushing to the car to get home came.
The car ride was unbearable but Nate did a fantastic job of getting me home and getting anything that I needed to make me feel comfortable until the "super strong" Tylenol kicked in. (I hope you can sense the sarcasm in my writing.)
After an hour or so of researching what this new back pain is and what I can do about it, I have come to the conclusion, I really can't do anything except don't sit for too long, don't stand for too long, square up your hips, straighten up your posture and Oh ya, no more wrestling. haha.
I don't think I will have any urges to become a WWE Diva for a while, but if I do I now know what channel to watch.

My 1st Blog .... and Baby!!
Wow 2013 has been super exciting already. Getting pregnant has been one of the best things that has happened in my life. Besides getting married to my best friend, this is just something completely different.
As I am writing, this week I just hit the 3 month mark in this pregnancy. So far, I LOVE being pregnant!!! I have not been sick, tired here and there and a little bit of back pain. I have noticed however that my hormones are INTENSE. And the roller coaster that my husband, Nate, is on is most likely going to make him lose his lunch. It is so funny, for me at least, because I hear the non-sense coming out of my mouth and in my head I am yelling at myself to just stop talking. Nate takes it like a champ though and has been really supportive thus far. So for that, I am very thankful.
I'm hoping that through this blog I can track all my emotions and any funny stories that I might have. Of course, there will be belly pictures but sorry no weight tracking. That ended a while ago. :)
Here I am at 3 months!!!
Hope you enjoyed my first short blog.
