Pregnant for over a month...


Well as of right now I had gotten over a lot of the nauseousness and found that I am having to eat more frequently and learning the right things to eat. I have stopped taking my prenatal before I go to bed. I have found that they upset my stomach in the morning more. So I started taking them in the morning and it seems to be going fine so far. I am not as Nauseous as I was. And to tell ya the truth I thought it would be a lot tougher than this. *knock on wood* Who knows it will probably get worse but as long as I am not sick i think I can manage the other stuff easier.

No cravings for food yet. I do have a better nose right now and can smell things a lot better. I am not sure I like it as much either. it is smelly out there.. lol . that's sad. I haven't even thought about buying baby items yet. It really hasn't come to a reality yet I think and/or just we still have a very long time till the baby is here. And who knows what could happen from here out? All I can do is hope for the best.

All I can say at this point is that I am really excited. This is something I feel is right and we are ready for and to raise a child with my Best Friend. To also know that we can raise a child and support it so it can experience life itself. And to always work for the best life that we can live together in love & happiness. Who knows what the child will grow up to be and what kind of a life it will want to live.

Well our little ones heart is beating now. "Buds" will appear and will develop into arms and legs in later weeks. it is the size of a sprinkle you usually can find on cupcakes.
Nothing too much to report. Just living life still and dreaming of holding our first child.

I find my self saying...


When I am talking with Matt I catch my self saying "She" a lot and I have to go back and say well...It. Most of you know when I think of our Family I have always thought of 3 little boys and a little girl to finish us off. Maybe all my talking is going to Jinx me and I will have 3 little girls and then a little boy.
Who knows Matt's Older brother has kicked out 4 Boys and no girls. His sisters have all had Girls as the majority. My Side it is a half and half. Andy and Tiff started off their kids with a little Red head girl and My sister had a toe head blond little boy. I still cant believe Amy and Ben on this 3rd pregnancy may wait to see what the sex is until it is born. That is just stressful to me. I think I would HAVE to find out. I hate surprises. Especially something I have just had to carry around for the past 9 months and wait till the last day to find out.

Am I really only 4 weeks and how many days so far...

OK so I feel I have been pregnant more than 4 weeks. If I follow what I hear online they count the weeks of pregnancy starting from the first day of your last menstrual period. But If I look at it I couldn't have been pregnant until the last day of my cycle.
So if I count from the 9Th of August(last day of my cycle) my due date would be May 15Th or so. But if it is counted as the first day of my cycle the due date will be may 7Th. Who knows? Maybe one of you women out there can help and explain which is which? How do I do the counting? I think I like the earlier due date of 5/7/2010. I will stick with that.
I have been really interested in finding out what goes on in each stage of the pregnancy and I hate not knowing the exact time frame I am on. I have my Doctors appointment the 1st week in October and It just feels like it is taking forever to get to that date.
I know anything can happen while being pregnant. My Mom and Sister both having miscarriages it does linger in the back of my mind really what can happen during this amazing part of our life. I know that what happens is what happens and is a plan in the eyes of our heavenly father. I just wish it could be a promised deal..lol. No I feel that will be OK with us able to get pregnant on our first shot. Like probably happened the first day we tried, since I was able to find out so quickly.
OK, It is still weird to think I am pregnant just since I haven't had very many different changes in my body happen yet. But I hear a lot of women don't start feeling the changes until their later trimesters. Who knows. I just should be happy I am feeling well and am not noticing too much change.

4 weeks so far.

Just a little thoughts on whats going on in me right now that I am learning.

My little microscopic embryo is already hard at work this week creating the placenta, umbilical cord and the basics of his or her body. By the end of this week, our baby measures about 1/25 inch long, about the size of a period.

A couple name's that I have thought of and really like is Brighton. If a Boy or Girl I think it would work both ways. But if a Boy it would be Brighton Matthew Hamilton. We also thought of Logan Hamilton. It could go both ways to I guess. We also liked the name Lily Hamilton. Brianna Hamilton, Bridger Hamilton. Those are all that I could think of at this time. Since I work where I talk to so many different people I always get to think of what names I like and what sounds good with Hamilton. Cooper Hamilton. Who knows. What do you think?

The first pregnancy shots







So here are the first photos to put into the book of memories...lol

Baby Hamilton is on its way

August 23rd, 2009. We had found out around 6:20 A.m that we were Pregnant. So with that in mind the Due date for baby Hamilton will be around May 15Th, 2010. Matt and I are so excited for this Baby to join the world. Of course we have 252 days to go. Hopefully we will have good experiences and I don't get sick. LOL, I was told I cant go around that part. So I will go with a good attitude and accept it as it comes. So far I am doing great. There has been no sickness and anything I can so far tell I am pregnant.

I am grateful to have been able to have my older brother Andy come and give me a blessing last week to bless the baby and my body during this new time in my life. I do need all the blessings I can get. J/K . I am filled with hope and ambition to become a healthier person and stronger person inside and out. And that with my Brothers blessing it would just give me that extra strength to know what happens will happen and it will be gods will. I just want to make sure that everything I do will benefit the baby and also my self.

I also am really excited to be having a child along with my sisters. Amy is 8 weeks right now. Jake says he is demanding a little brother. Amy and Ben said they are not going to find out what there having until they have the baby. Tiffany is also pregnant. I'm not too sure of how far along they are but far enough to find out Sadie and Easton are having a little brother. We are so SO excited for them to be having their 3rd child. And they really like the name (as do I) Tucker Don Moosman.

SO we are stoked to see what goes on from here out. I will keep posting things that relate to my pregnancy here on this page.
