Yesterday was our second anniversary, and I still can't believe that two years ago we were off on our honeymoon adventure and this year we are on an entirely different adventure.
Of course we ate cupcakes from our wedding on the roof top deck we got married on.
I heart Miette and Hotel Vitale!!
That last one may sound crazy, but when you are preggo and not showing it feels like a sham and for awhile you don't want people to know because you (mainly me) are still trying to process the whole thing, but now that I am starting to feel better, I just want it all out there.
I also feel that I have ants in my pants to hit the 12 week mark, but even more importantly, one week from today-- we get a sonogram!! Whoot whoot.
Today I am also going in to start a three part round of genetic testing called Integrated and Sequential Screening.
Honestly, I am not sure how I really feel about this. We are doing the least invasive of procedures- today I get a pinprick, next week a sonogram, and in a month- another pinprick.
With screening in both the first and second trimester this test is about 90 to 94% accurate. I am nervous of the outcome and even more nervous about a false positive or false negative. But at the end of the day, we decided to go forward with the screening because if our little Jaws is going to need some extra love and care, I want to be as prepared as possible. I guess I'll know more in a week, but until then I have to focus on helping grow a strong healthy baby inside of me!!
Positive thoughts.
Oh, one last thing- Those two pounds I gained last week- well, that was bloat and I have now lost them, but I do have an emerging belly. My fat pants are starting to get real uncomfortable real fast, so I did get a couple things from Gap Maternity and a dress from Pea In the Pod for a few upcoming events.
Here I am post anniversary lunch- in my new maternity dress. I am pretty sure the pouch is mostly a tummy full of cupcakes and Slanted Door:

Update: So I went in for my pin prick yesterday and I ended up having full blood work taken. Apparently, I was supposed to do this a few weeks back but was never told. I pretty much had a full melt down because not only was I totally nauseous, I also had to miss my hair cut appointment because it all took so long. Tears were shed and they had to give me apple juice to calm me down afterwords.
My long way of saying -- don't mess with a pregnant lady!!
And YES, my emotions are officially out of control. I cried during the movie Bridesmaids.
