Wife and A Life at 30 (+)!: Week 10

February 20, 2014: Today is the day that Andy and I met, 5 years ago. Wow! And to think I had absolutely no desire to meet him, go on a blind date, or a double date :) Boy, would I have missed out! Today is also week 10 for us. So far things have been rough. I have been pretty sick to say the least. Nausea/Vomiting, headaches, food aversions, stuffy nose (who knew this was part of pregnancy?), insomnia, etc. But, through all this I try to remain positive. I tell myself that this is all gentle little reminders of a healthy pregnancy. I continue to feel completely blessed by these to amazing little wonders. We still have not told anyone. Thanks to being a nurse and working in the area I do, I know too much. I feel the safe point to tell family is 12 weeks. Many think that working as a NICU nurse/Maternal Newborn means "oh, you will be so good, you do this all the time, you already know everything, this will be a breeze." I know sick babies, little babies, and I take care of well babies for the first 2-5 days. That does not make me a expert mom. I see difficult stories. That small 1% is what I see and that sticks out in my head. Ignorance is definitely a bliss . Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my job. I love being a NICU nurse. Those little ones are the biggest fighters I have ever met. No adult would fight like they do. They really are amazing.

We did a little photo shoot (attempting to be professionals, far from it, although photography is a hobby for me and something I strive to get much much better at). The photo shoot was done with a beautiful blonde. We are preparing a fun/special way to tell our family.

Fun little moments- February 19, 2014: I had a dream that I had 34 week twin boys. (I don't know if it's the NICU nurse in me that allows me to dream about preterm babies or if it's just a instinct?)

February 20, 2014: Andy sends me a text that says "Their hands and fist are folded over their heart... get happy now." (he downloaded the app.) I also received a text awhile back that said, "just cause your pregnant doesn't mean you can eat for two (or something like that, I had to laugh)" at least he downloaded the text and is keeping up with them:)
