Most exciting time of my life!

19 weeks has come so fast! I still don't feel like I look like a preggo but since I have to fit into a duponi silk wedding dress next weekend I guess that's a good thing! Although this is not how I imagined walking down the isle or starting my family, timing is only a small part of life. I'm with the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. We both have always wanted children and I think we both will make a great team to raise our kids. We were upset about the timing of things at first but we realize that we are nothing but blessed!

In other news, this weekend was so much fun! My sister threw me a bachelorette party in Dallas. It was beautiful! We spent the morning at the spa at the W, the fabulous hotel we stayed at. Then we went to shop at North Park and met up with the rest of the ladies and headed back to the hotel for a party! Next we headed over to Kimichi, a trendy Japenese restaurant right beside the hotel. After dinner we went to Ghost Bar on the top floor of the W. It was fun and we danced for awhile; however, I was easily tuckered and so we headed back to the suite and played games before we all fell asleep. It was perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better time!

This coming week has soooo much in store! I think it will possibly be the most exciting week of my life! On Tuesday we will find out the sex of the baby...I can't hardly wait! I'm seriously counting down the hours! I just hope that the baby is not going to be shy! Then on Wednesday, after work, we are heading back to good ole west Texas for the start of the wedding festivities. Thursday will be my final dress fitting and meet with the coordinator at the country club to finalize some plans. Then on Friday we have the rehearsal and dinner. And Saturday is the BIG day! I don't think reality has really set in yet. I'm not sure it really will until Saturday. So, in less than a week I'm going to married and half way through my pregnancy hahah...never thought that would be a sentence I would be saying. But, like I said before, I'm so excited and blessed!

16 week down and only 24 more to go!

Yesterday we finally took pictures of my belly for the first time! I've been meaning to do it since we found out we were expecting but just kept getting side tracked and it seems we've only been getting busier and busier! So, here is the first picture of my new growing belly bump! I'm 16 weeks and finally starting to see a little tiny bump....by the way, please excuse the messy house in the background and myself...it was a long weekend and we are still working on cleaning and organizing the house!


I have to say...I'm happy in a sense that I'm not showing too much yet; however, I guess I'm just a little anxious and excited to see it finally pop! I'm seeing a lot of other pregnant friends who started to show as early as 9 or 10 weeks and really have a bump by now. They say between 16-20 weeks you should feel the little "flutters" of the baby kicking around and I can't wait!! I'm still very pround of myself as I have yet to buy ANYTHING..and for me, that's pretty impressive. I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything until we found out if baby Probandt is a boy or a girl. We have our scheduled ultrasound to find out on September 8th! The anticipation is gonna drive me crazy so I hope these next few weeks fly by! As I've said a million times before, as long as it is a healthy baby I will be happy with either!
