I made it 16 weeks! I know that it is not even half way, but I am very proud of myself, mainly because for the first few weeks I felt like I was going to die. Andrew just said he feels like he is going to die, but only because he is sick. But this post is about me. So, today was my regular prenatal visit. I'm a little worried because my doc said that I was measuring big, and thought maybe he picked up two heart beats. My ultrasound is in May so I guess we'll find out then. One baby would be nice for now though! My mom measured big with her pregnancies and had just one each time, so maybe its genetic. But we'll be happy with any miracle Heavenly Father blesses us with.
We are excited/nervous/scared out of our minds about being pregnant and having our first baby. I am a wreck usually. I don't think I've ever been so emotional, and hungry. My tummy is starting to stick out, and my clothes are getting tighter. I'll take all these things with open arms if it means a healthy baby! I've also put school on the back burner. I'm sorry BYU, but this is more important.
We're mostly concerned with how to take care of a baby, since we both don't have a lot of experience in the field. I don't think Andrew has ever changed a diaper, nor does he know the first thing to do in order to perform that task. A lot of people I've talked to say the whole parenting thing will just come to us. I hope they're right. We have until September to learn everything about parenting, right?
I just thought I'd give an update because I am a horrible blogger. I promise I'll get better, maybe. I'm going to try to post a picture or two, once I take some. If you're lucky, I might even post a pic before the month is over!

Congrats Cindy!!! We are so excited for you both and you two will be GREAT parents.
Yay, congrats! That'd would be crazy if you had twins in there. You guys will do just fine- Wade had never changed a diaper before Kannon and now he is a pro. You'll find your own comfortable schedule and way of doing things- don't let people freak you out with all of their horror stories.
AHHH- Yay!!!! That is so exciting- congrats to you both!!! That would be crazy if you guys were having twins (did you hear that we are expecting twin boys in June or July?) Anywho- two babies or one- we are so happy for you both! Hope all is going well. Cant wait to read your post in May when you find out more:)

I didn't know you were pregnant, Cindy! That is so fun, I'm excited for you guys! I feel like you will have a boy. And as a parent, I read a lot of books because things you should do are sometimes counterintuitive. But either way, I know you guys will be great! Again, congratulations!!!
Congrats you guys! Cindy, I'm so happy to hear you are pregnant. I know it was a concern of yours. Best wishes on the rest of the pregnancy. You guys will be great parents. Just ask the nurses to change the diapers. That's what Cory always does!
