18 Weeks!

Sorry for the lack of activity in the past month. Alex and I have had quite a bit going on (as usual.)

Between my loss of hours at work, Alex getting sick, me turning 21, the loss of a family member, trying SO hard to get this new job (we’ll have the official answer in just a few days!), and normal day to day stuff.. I haven’t had time to sit down and just blog.

Anyways..

WE’RE 18 WEEKS! 

Baby is the size of a sweet potato.

I crave A LOT of mac n’ cheese, french fries, bread, burgers, sweets, and vanilla coke.

Just yesterday, Alex and I FINALLY felt baby kick! It was the most beautiful moment. It makes me that much more excited for baby to get here ♥

No symptoms really.. Just normal growing and stretching pains.

I’ve recently started sleeping with a body pillow that my loving hubby to be got me for my birthday. It. Is. WONDERFUL. It allows me to sleep comfortably on my side without rolling over too far onto my stomach.

 Still don’t know our gender.. Patiently waiting until I no long have to call my love bug “baby” or “it”.. Hopefully at our appointment in a week and a half we can finally just KNOW!

This was taken at our sonogram appointment at 14 weeks and 2 days. Little baby is much bigger now. Wiggle butt doesn’t like to listen (to mommy or the doctors) and likes to lay upside down!!

This is so surreal. Half of the time I feel like I’m not actually having a baby and that this is all a dream or something.. And then baby moves and it’s like a snap back into reality.

Alex and I get more and more excited every single day and we can NOT wait for our little baby to get here.

Mommy and Daddy love you little angel. We can’t wait to meet you ♥

Welcome to my journey

For those of you who don’t know me; Hi! I’m Cecilia. Obviously I started this blog so that I can document my adventures along the way to mommyhood and married life. But, here is a little background information to catch you up a little bit!

1. I am 20 years old living in a rather boring town in Kansas.
2. I am engaged to the love of my life (Alex, who you will obviously get to learn a lot about). We got engaged this past Christmas and our wedding is set for August 15, 2015.
3. So, I jumped the gun a little bit. We are not 100% sure that we’re pregnant.. My period is 2 weeks late and (although we haven’t had a positive pregnancy test yet) all of the signs are there. The nauseous feeling, always being tired, crankiness, stomach pains, bloating, gas (oh lord the gas), boob growth and soreness, and acne. We are going to the doctor’s on Thursday, so fingers crossed and keep an eye out for an update!

I feel that I should also say, yes we are young. We are both well aware of that. BUT, you must understand that Alex and I spend a lot of time planning things out and making sure that things will work before we jump right into something. A baby is a big responsibility, but one of God’s little treasures. Marriage isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it to be with the one you love forever. Alex and I are young, in love, and happily moving forward with whatever life throws at us. Together.

Our journey won’t be easy and our path won’t be straight. But with pockets full of hope and a family full of love, we will press on. ♥

Thank you for joining us on our adventure.

– Cecilia, Alex, and Little Meatball.
