14 Weeks and counting
This week I grew immensely (literally, see the photo below.)
We picked up my sister-in-law on Wednesday and since she was going to be staying with us for a couple of days we decided we had to tell her early because it's pretty obvious at this point lol... especially if you are at my home in the morning, morning sickness and a round belly are kind of a dead give away.
When we arrived at the airport and I got out of the car I saw her glance at my belly lol. The gig was up. We drove only a couple minutes before I decided it was time to tell her. "So Megan, we were going to wait to tell you with everyone next week but since you'll be staying with us..." That was all I started to say when the biggest smile came on her face and she started shacking everything limb with excitement. So I just jumped to the point laughing I said "Yes, I'm pregnant!" Still shrieking she said " no offense but I could totally tell!" haha It was really fun. I can't wait until this Thursday when we tell everyone! I just wanted to show you my belly and let you imagine how hard it is to hide! Luckily I wear large scrubs to work but that's about all I can get away with now lol.

12 weeks
12 Weeks baby!
I am feeling very large... especially since virtually no one knows I'm pregnant there's been a lot of baggy clothes, sucking in and standing up tall.
There have been some life altering things happen this week. My beloved grandpa had heart surgery and after days of fighting and not waking up he went home to Heaven yesterday.
This of course has added stress to my life and when you are pregnant you are advised to avoid stressful situations... So I had my day to wollow yesterday and am taking a few days off of work. The funeral and viewing are this weekend. I thought about telling my family I was pregnant to reroute some grief but decided against it after talking to my husband he said it's important to grieve and remember your loved one's you don't want to seem as though you are trying to overshadow that with your happy news and you don't want it to be tainted with the sorrowful memories.
We've decided to announce it the night before John's graduation when we go out to eat with both of our families. I can't wait! Trying to focus on the blessing in my life right now and not the sadness. I truely am grateful for the atonement and knowledge that my grandpa is up in heaven not suffering from anything looking like a stud and probably riding horses. I know I would feel really lost if I was uncertain what the universe had in store for us after this life is over or if I thought that it just ended when you died. Save me a dance grandpa, I love you.
My other grandpa (Church) was saying the other day how when a soul returns to heaven it's as joyous as a baby being born on earth. I really liked that and had never thought of it that way.

We went to our 12 week appointment today! Even though I'm actually just over 13 weeks now. It was good we got to see Dr. Reese (Jr.) today and he was fantastic! Got to our precious baby's heart beat, Dr. Reese said "the hearbeat is very strong! this mean the chance of a miscarriage is very very small now". Yay! That was a breath of fresh air. Hearing your baby's hearbeat for the first time is an amazing experience and very surreal like everything else. This is really going to happen it just keeps hitting me. I won't be able to have doubts anymore I am definetly gaining weight and my belly and chest are growing at a ridiculous rate lol.
Can't wait to share this wonderful news with everyone! Thanks for reading I'll try and update after we announce to our parents in just a couple of weeks!!! :)
