hey there sweet pea!

it has been a few weeks since our easter announcement. i have continued feeling gaggy, bloated, and sleepy everyday. the everyday reminder that there is life growing inside of me. there are a couple of new developments also: 1. my pants are no longer fitting. i've never been a thin girl. i have always had plenty of thigh and bum meat, but now my tummy is getting in on the fun. dont know if its more because im bloated, or if i have actually gained weight, but my used-to-fit-perfectly pants are no longer closing. A chastised me this morning after i laid down to try to close one of my favorite pairs of jeans. We went shopping the other day and i didnt necesariliy have to wear those jeans, but i wanted to. yeah, that the last time im going to try to fit into those pants... hopefully for the next 10 months. :) 2. we had our first ultrasound on tuesday. our little one is growing just as he should be. he's so tiny ( and he's a HE until the doctor says any different )

A has been bugging me to let her announce it to all our friends on facebook. after the ultrasound, i let her. we have received so many well wishes and support. really makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. it has taken away  the bad taste left in my mouth after easter. i know its early, and most people wait until they are out of their first trimester, but i have faith in God, that whatever happens we will be ok. i am enjoying my pregnancy day by day, and although the future holds a ton of uncertainty, i want to embrace my faith that everything will be ok. that come december, i will be holding a tiny little human in my arms. my heart and body are no longer my own, i love this little guy growing inside of me.

i am looking forward to a couple of things in the next couple of weeks. one week from today, we will be going to san antonio for Fiesta. we like to describe this party-all-the-time, shut-down-the-city as the mexican mardi gras. its alot of fun, especially when you're drinking all weekend. in lieu of alcohol, i will be eating. or trying to anyways. since last night, i have been throwing up after eating. even though one of my most hated activities is throwing up, after reading that actual throwing up has a positive correlation to a lower risk of miscarriage, i dont mind it so much.

I found an awesome article online about things you dont ask lesbian moms. I have found it super funny and irritating when people ask me "i thought you only liked girls?" I dont know if to bust out laughing or to punch them in the throat. I find it completely ridiculous. I guess i have given people too much credit. i assume people read, watch the news, or are generally informed. guess not.   They like to ask who the dad is. well, there is no dad. our child will have two moms. "well, where did the sperm come from?" why is that and ok question to ask? and no i am not ok talking about who the donor is or what he looks like. our child will be raised in a mexican american household and that all that matters. i guess these are just questions i really didnt expect to be asked. I just thought people would have a little more tact than to ask. boy, was i wrong.

I feel like my belly is getting rounder everyday. most likely because im crazy bloated, but it does make the hunny smile to see that im getting fluffier, as she says. my boobs are so much bigger than they normally are, or at least they feel that way. I havent really worn a regular bra in a few months, mostly sports bras. even my comfy sports bras are feeling tight. we'll give it a few more weeks, and then i might have to break down and buy another couple pairs of bras.

thats life right now. looking forward to our next appointment on the 25th. :) we'll hear our little guys heartbeat!!
