I’ve officially made it to 12 weeks along in my pregnancy and I’m slowly starting to feel a little better. I’ll be honest, it’s been a rough 8 weeks or so. Exhaustion… Nausea… Acid Reflux… and so much more!
The first few weeks after I found out I was pregnant hit me hard with lots of exhaustion. I tried to cut out caffeine as much as possible, but let’s be honest, there’s nothing like a nice cold COKE here and there. Plus, that helps my nausea so much! I was obsessed with those bomb pop popsicles, something about the sweet and cold just helped settle my stomach and helped the sweet cravings. I was an emotional wreck around 5 to 6 weeks. I would just cry for no reason. Little things made me soooo upset and I took everything personal. Drake can confirm this and so can my co-host, Box. They’ve had to put up with moody/crazy/emotional Kelly for about 6 or 7 weeks now. Bless their hearts!
Morning Sickness happened right at week 7 and it was soooooo cliche… Right when I woke up and started getting ready for work. NOT FUN! I’ve been sick a few times since, but really, the nausea is what’s horrible. It’s like can I just throw up already and move on? YUCK!
8 weeks snuck up on us and it was our first chance to see Baby Bazzle on the ulstrasound screen. It looked just like what people call it, a peanut, except it was only the size of an orange seed or smaller. It was tiny with a fast heartbeat but one of the coolest experiences to see what was growing inside of me, on a screen! Drake was pumped… he even asked if it still had a tail lol he is so cute 😉
I’ve been exhausted. All I have been doing it sleeping and napping, when I wake up from a nap, I just want to nap more. Most of the time, the nap doesn’t even make me feel better, I just can’t stop sleeping. It’s the only time I feel better on the bad days. But I’m pushing through, one nap at a time. So what if they last up to 4 hours some days! right???
We went to the doctor around 11 weeks and we got to see a real baby on the ulstrasound screen. Head, arms, feet, legs, it was unreal. To see the baby moving on the screen was a very emotional moment for me. I couldn’t believe that there was something inside of me, wiggling around, and cuddling into me. It’s the most amazing feeling. I just can’t wait to have a baby bump to show for it. I am so excited for the day that I pop. I know, I’m weird, and I know, I will not want it in about 5 months, I will just want it to all be done. But I’m sooooo curious to see how it feels to have a baby moving around in my belly. It’s one of the most amazing things that humans can do, in my opinion.
I’m headed back to the doctor on August 11 to get another ultrasound and do some pre screening genetic testing. I can’t wait to see baby bazzle or GUPPY as we like to call him or her. A little name that comes from my favorite Disney movie, The Little Mermaid.
We made the official announcement on Friday, August 1st! I announced on the air on 105.5 the Bridge on my morning show, Box and Kelly in the morning and we also posted our pictures from our announcement session with Tomme Hilton of Tomme Hilton Gallery! She’s soooo creative and she really brings out the best emotions in her photographs. Check her stuff out here! Here are some of the pics!
I’ll update you all about the next appointment and let’s get to nursery decorating soon! I can’t wait to get everyone’s opinions about our furniture, design, colors, and more! And I can’t wait to find out if we’re having a little boy or a little girl! 6-7 More Weeks!
