Bundle of Joy

On Thursday, July 8, 2010 - I found out John and I's lives would be forever changed. We are expecting our first little one and couldn't be more excited! We both talked of waiting a few more years originally to add some little ones to the Valadez clan, but who can refuse what God's intentions for us as a family are.

As of today, I am 8 weeks 5 days along with Baby V. We visited the OBGYN for the first time last Friday and were able to hear baby's heart beat and capture images of the little peanut growing inside of my belly. It was the most surreal experience! My pap came back good and doctor advised me to lay off of yeasts (white bread), so I will sadly say goodbye to white rice as well.

I've already ordered maternity dresses online since my work clothes were so uncomfortable around my growing belly. I learned pretty quickly to not even waste my steps going into stores in search of maternity clothes. They are few and far inbetween and when I find a store that sells maternity clothes, it's completely overpriced. I haven't gained any weight, however, my weight has all shifted to my breasts and belly. Funny how that works.
