I'm Pregnant!

Obviously this is no big secret that I'm in fact pregnant but I wanted to share how I told Cam we were expecting our little bundle of joy! After this summer ended we decided we were going to start trying to have a baby. I was hoping things we would be successful but you just never know till you start trying. Well it was a success our second month I had become pregnant!

I was due to get my period the next day but just couldn't wait any longer to take a pregnancy test!!!! I honestly don't know how I waited that long...I had read somewhere it was best to take the test in the morning but I threw caution to the wind and took it on my lunch break! And to my surprise it said PREGNANT! My first thought was OMG we did it! Next thought was how I'm going to tell Cam!?!?!

So I came up with the idea to tell him after my lunch break that I had gone shopping during it and gotten some shoes for our upcoming trip to NYC. He seemed less then excited about my new purchase but I thought wait till he finds out!

After work I went straight to Target to find any gender neutral shoes I could and something that said Daddy on it. I raced home and got an old shoe box out and placed it on the bed,in which i put the new shoes, the adorable onesie and the positive pregnancy test! And then I just waited....folding laundry in the bedroom all awhile I was about to explode in anticipation! Finally Cam came home,I made sure before he did anything else that he look in the box at my new shoes and then the look I will never forget complete shock and confusion came across his face! He just looked at me saying over and over again "Are you!? Are you!?" until I answered him YES! It was priceless and I don't think it set in for him or me for a few days later! Below are some pictures I took of my little surprise!

11 weeks!

Baby Shinaberry is 11 weeks old today, and is only the size of a fig but it's presence is known! Since finding out I was pregnant my symptoms have been pretty much the same the past 7 weeks.

I'm beyond tired... my bedtime is between 8:30pm-9:30pm. I can count on one hand how many times I have stayed up past 10:30pm in the past 2 months. Somehow 10 hours of sleep (interrupted every 2hrs for peeing) is just not enough! I'm hoping this will subside in the coming weeks so I can accomplish some things after work.

The boobs...if your a male you may want to stop reading. Almost immediately they have grown a size larger...not kidding! And they hurt soooo bad. I have to wear a sports bra to bed every night so I won't cringe in pain. But the upside I have wonderful new cleavage!

And lastly, this one I thought I had escaped from...morning sickness. It should be called anytime of the day sickness. For me it didn't start till around week 8 and is still lingering around today. Thankfully, it just consists of nausea which leads to me gagging. Yes folks gagging,...this can happen at anytime of the day but thankfully doesn't last to long. My mother had it much worse she was throwing up every morning with me so thank goodness that's not me!

Of course I wouldn't want it any other way...I'm so happy to be experiencing all that this pregnancy has in store for me because in the end we will have a beautiful baby! So bring it on!

How far along? 11 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 2lbs... but it feels like more :(
Maternity Clothes? I have already resorted to using a rubber band when wearing jeans. It buttons but it's uncomfortable so rubber band it is! Shirts with cleavage have a whole new meaning. Wow!
Stretch Marks? god no!
Sleep? in 2 hour increments between my peeing
Best moment this week: Telling everyone we are pregnant! Well not my work just yet...
Movement? way to soon
Food Cravings: I love love love cereal! All kinds but seem to like the sugary kids kind. Meat...Cheeseburgers sound like heaven!
Gender: I'm leaning toward boy, Cam is convinced it's a girl.
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Having Energy...
What I am looking forward to: We have another sonogram next week so I get to see the baby again!
Weekly Wisdom: Sweatshirts are the best thing ever!
Milestones: Limited it to only 3 sodas a week...before I was pregnant it was 3 a day!

Slacker = Me

So I have been slacking big time on blogging, this cold rainy weather we have been experiencing the past few weeks has been of no help! All I want to do when I come home from work is eat dinner then find my spot on the couch. So blogging has taken a back seat while I veg out!

The Christmas season is upon us and it's my favorite time of the year! We already have all our decorations up around the house and Christmas lights set up outside. I have watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation twice and have completed most of my Christmas shopping! This weekend the Shinaberry household will be picking out our first real Christmas Tree, after last years disaster with Puma (and $1100 later) we will be sticking with the real thing here on out at Christmas. I'm looking forward to the real deal, when I was younger we always had a real tree and the smell was amazing.

And lastly, my official countdown to our Mexican Holiday has began! Only 24 days till I will be sitting on the beach in the nice warm sun :)
