19 weeks

Flutters. Bubbles bursting. Roller coaster feelings.
This baby is having fun.
Thank God for the second trimester! The first 15 weeks were rough. Nausea, fatigued. Like ran a marathon, climbed a mountain and ran over by a truck tired....not that I've ever done any of those things. Ha.
In the first 4 months I was working 40 to 45 hours a week, my manager left early for her maternity leave, leaving me running the store and semi knowing what I was doing. The month of October was tough; we had multiple events to organize and short on man power. I often had to work 10 days in a row and work on my days off. So i'm glad that's over. We are now more staff at work and we have a great temp manager so the weight of the world isn't on my shoulders anymore and I can actually focus on my little miracle.
Because it's what it is.
On my 15th week, we had the chance to see baby Berg thru ultra sound and it blew our minds.
Seeing the little thing move around, showing off its spine and five, yes FIVE fingers on one hand (I'm sure there is two of them,ha) was unreal. Steve was losing his mind and so was I.
Every thing is down to a science. They know exactly when the skin forms, the bones solidify, the ears can detect sounds....but it's still a miracle. A life that God is trusting us with. That can't be beat.

We're going to my Dr's appointment this after noon and I'm hoping we can find out if it's going to be a she or he.

Sugar hills



Nursery idea , if it's a girl.
And no we don't have any preference, just a classic healthy baby.

The beginning

62 days ago I went to the doctor because for the past two weeks, I had had cramping and my boobs were sore as hell. Basically, all the symptoms of pms with aunt flow visiting.
So I went in, even though I don't like hospitals, waiting rooms, awkwardness of waiting for an answer to vague symptoms... The nurse asked me if I thought I could be pregnant and I said maybe, since we've been playing Russian roulette for a while. However I had done a pee stick sesh two weeks prior and nothing came out of it.
So, I did another urine test and surprise! There was a lil nugget growing in my uterus. I exploded with joy, questions and smiles when the Dr announced it to me. So unexpected, yet talked about for over a year... From then on, I knew our life would never be the same. But all better.
When I announced it to Steve , he was so happy, emotional and awesome. This is such a positive life experience, he says, we couldn't be happier.
We both have huge smiles on our faces every time we think or talk about the lovely little seed growing into a human being that our love made, that it's hard not to talk about it all the time when were together.
He has been an amazing husband, friend and soul mate for almost 8 years and I cannot wait to see him become an amazing father I know he will be.
