A Good Week!

Hey everyone! Sorry I'm a day late but I didn't have my computer last night. Soo good news! I've been feeling SOOO much better! No more morning sickness! Now I only get a little nauseous when I'm hungry! I just hope the morning sickness NEVER comes back! It's been lovely!

Oh and Gabe is loving me lately! I haven't been moody or emotional lately! I'm loving it too! The other night I even got a second wind of energy and cleaned the kitchen! For some reason all I wanted to do was clean! So I took advantage of it and cleaned! Haha.

On Sunday I helped host my sister Stacey's baby shower since she is due on March 29! It was supposed to be a surprise but she was expecting it! Oh well! It was a great turn out and she loved it which is all that mattered! She got a TON of stuff! So many necessities and a bunch of fun stuff too! I'm sure that took a lot off of her and Joshua's shoulders! Oh and by the way Stacey...I'm sorry I ate all of the pickles! They have been a huge craving of mine lately! And now I have a whole jar at my apartment thanks to my momma! Oh and Courtney, Stacey's friend, bought Baby Ocampo a baby blanket...which I accidentally left at Carmine's but thank god the owner still has it! Whew!

And here is my belly pic for this week! My camera was dead last night so it's a day late but next week will be back on track!

The Joys of Pregnancy!

Hello everyone! So, these past few days have not been fun. The nauseousness is killing me!! I don't know what to do about it! I wake up in the morning for school and eat something hoping it will help but nothing helps! I can't even make it to school because of it!! UGH! It's horrible! Oh and yesterday was the worst day ever! I woke up feeling so sick that I left the house late so I was late for class. Then on the way to class I had an emotional breakdown! My mom and Stacey got to hear that! My mom thought it was hilarious! That didn't help! I had to walk into class 20 minutes late with a bright red, swollen face from crying! So embarrassing! So far pregnancy is not what I expected.

I started looking at baby bedding and furniture today! I know it's early but I can't help it! And besides Gabe and I need to paint our bedroom so I'm trying to figure out what the baby bedding will look like so we don't pick a color that clashes. It's very stressful trying to decide! So far I like all of the animal ones! They are adorable!

Well everyone, pray for me please! Pray that this stupid nausea stops so I can function again! Thanks I appreciate it! Well, talk to ya soon!

First Belly Pic...and much more!

Hey everyone! Here are all the pictures I promised I would add today! The first one is my 7 weeks belly pic! The second is the pregnancy test my mom bought me so I could have a positive test to keep, since the first one was at the doctor! The third picture is of all the stuff my mom bought us for the baby! The fourth one is our first ultra sound!!! I'll explain what everything is above the picture. The last one is a picture of a seahorse at the Aquarium. Gabe and I went there for our year anniversary on Saturday, January 17. I thought it would be cute to have a picture of a seahorse since that's what Baby Ocampo looks like right now!

This is our first ultra sound! Okay, the dark banana looking thing in the center is the sac the baby is in. The larger figure in the banana to the left is the baby. There are two plus signs on the baby, one at the top and one at the bottom. The one at the top is the baby's head and the one at the bottom is the baby's butt! This is how they measured the baby. The smaller white dot-looking-thing to the right of the baby is the yolk sac. Whatever that is! Haha. But there is Baby Ocampo!

SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

I'M PREGNANT! I'm sure if you're reading this you already got that memo, but here's what's been going on. I found out on Tuesday, January 13 at the UNO Doctors office. For about two weeks I had been constipated and on this Tuesday morning I was feeling extremely nauseated, so my mom told me to go to the UNO doctor to see if they could give me anything to help. The nurse thought we would take a pregnancy test just to be sure, even though she thought there was no way I could be pregnant. I peed in the cup and waited for the results. She called me back into the room and sat me down. "It's positive. You're pregnant," she said. I sat back in my chair in amazement and felt my heart beat so hard I thought my chest would explode. After about 20 minutes of shock, I was prescribed prenatal vitamins and then checked out. I sat in my car and called Gabe but he didn't answer since he was in class. I then called my mom. At first she didn't believe me, like everyone else I told, but when she realized I was telling the truth she freaked out for a minute and then reassured me everything would be okay. I did my share of crying and freaking out but after the shock wore off I was extremely excited! It's something I have always wanted and now it's here, a little sooner than expected but I guess it's just meant to be!

After freaking out on the phone with my mom, we met at Applebee's for lunch, where we called everyone we knew to tell them the news! And pretty much last to know was Gabe since he was in class all day and didn't have any service to get all of the texts I was sending him to call me ASAP! Well, not all day, just two hours. When I left Applebee's Gabe finally called. He was walking home from school so I told him to meet me at our apartment so I could talk to him. He hung up and then called right back because he finally saw and heard all of my messages. He said he couldn't wait twenty minutes, he had to know now. "I'm pregnant." Very long silent pause..."WOOOOOOW." I told him to walk home safely and we would talk more when we got home. He was in shock for the entire day. He walked around in a daze and didn't say much. In the days to follow, he warmed up a whole bunch. It's only been a week and we are still adjusting to this huge change in our lives. But it's a miracle and a blessing and we couldn't be any happier!

Now I know most, if not all, of you heard about me going to France this summer. Well, that's out of the picture now since I'll be about 8 months pregnant. At first I was pretty upset about the timing, but then I remembered that everything happens for a reason! Maybe something bad was going to happen to me while I was there! Maybe I just wasn't ready for France. I'll never know. All I know is I was meant to have this baby, at this time in my life, with Gabe and that's all I need to know!

So, today was a big day for us! I went to my first doctor's appointment today and had my first ultra sound. Gabe and my mom were there to see our baby for the first time! I am 6 weeks and 6 days, which makes me due on September 8, 2009. The doctor said everything was great and exactly how it should be at this stage of the pregnancy, and to our relief there was only one heart beat, which was 138, so the doc thinks it's a boy! But I guess we'll find that out in a few months. After the appointment my mom gave Gabe and I our first baby gift! It was a set of 3 bibs, 3 burp cloths, and a set with a gown, cap and booties. Then, mom and I went to Target to get me some pants that I can wear since I already can't button my jeans! I got 3 pairs of pants and 3 shirts and of course we went up to the baby stuff! She bought us the cutest green and yellow blanket that says "Love Bug" on it and a 5 piece set. I'll post the pictures of everything tomorrow.

Well, I'll make sure to keep you all updated as much as I can!
