Little Baby Scarbrough

The biggest news is that we are expecting a cute little girl at the end of July. We couldn't be more excited, nervous and scared!

I took this test after Jake went to work on 11/24/2011. Poor guy just got a picture message on his phone of the above test with the text "um I am not quite sure what to do about this" We were shocked. I didn't believe it at first so of course I took another the next day on Thanksgiving and it was still positive. We just told our families on Christmas Eve and swore them to secrecy till we could go see the doctor. We had done a really good job at keeping it a secret.

We went into my OB doc for my first appointment on Jan 6th and saw this little peanut ninja kicking everywhere:

Finally we started telling everyone that we were expecting. It was a busy day of calls and texts!

Then over the next few weeks the "morning" sickness crept in. Egh. Whoever named it morning was a joker. I have it constantly all day every day. 2 or 3 times a day.

Sorry this is sideways but I am to lazy to fix it. We found out in March we were having a girl. I was shocked again! I was 107% sure it was a little boy. Then we started dreaming of sundresses, hairbands, flip flops and painted nails! Mr. J is thinking she will be a great hunting partner....One of the coolest things I think in this whole thing was when Jake was able to feel her kicking and squirming around. She sure does not like anything on my belly at all. At my last OB appt she was punching at the doppler pretty sweetly.

I am now 27 weeks along. This is my belly today, the best I could do since I am home alone today. I am still throwing up 2 or 3 times a week and still under my prepregnancy weight. We have been worried that it is my gallbladder that is also making me sick, so last week I went and got an ultrasound on it and should have the results next week at my next OB appt. It has been hard to get excited about this little girl when I don't feel good ever, but with each week getting a little better it's getting more exciting. I am so grateful for Jake. I don't think I could do this without him. He is so understanding and helpful. Poor guy has cooked more meals the last few months then he should have too and listened to me crying and complaining without even a blink of an eye. I joke with him that I feel more human lately and less like a zombie. I am so in love with him and I can't wait for her to get here so we can start the next chapter.
