My Milestones & Events

Felt My Baby Move for the First Time
Not sure on the exact day, but it was in the 17th week when I knew for sure I was feeling movement. I don't feel her move much, because I have an anterior placenta.

Announced Baby's Gender to Family
On April 16, 2012 at 11 weeks 2 days pregnant
Started Wearing Maternity Clothes
I've been wearing maternity clothes the last couple of weeks, but I don't know the exact day. I feel more comftorable in them because they aren't tight on my belly and they actually make me look more pregnant so that I don't feel self conscience about my bump! If I'm not wearing them I feel like I need to cover the bump but when I'm wearing them I feel like I can flaunt it!

On April 11, 2012 at 10 weeks 4 days pregnant
First Prenatal Appointment
I got an ultrasound, the baby's heartbeat was 182 bpm and measured exactly 10 weeks and 4 days!

We told my family and part of my husband's. Still have to tell his dad and step mom, we plan to tell them in person soon.

On February 24, 2012 at 3 weeks 6 days pregnant
Told Husband/Partner
I called him as soon as I took the test and got a positive result, he was working I had just gotten out of class and was heading to pick up our kids from my moms. :)

On February 24, 2012 at 3 weeks 6 days pregnant
First Positive Pregnancy Test
I expected the test to be negative because I tested a few days ago and got a negative. I took two tests, two different brands, and they were both positive! I'm so excited to have our third baby! I told my husband first of course and he's excited as well. I told my sister in law second, but we are going to wait a little while before telling anyone else.

I really like hattie and aubrey, aubrey may not be a traditional classic but its not a way out name so it could very well become one in time. I know what u mean about Bella..being a fan myself! I wanted to call my 8 year Bella..should have done it then lol!

I really like those names, but here Bella is very over used after Twilight, I like Evangeline, I like the name Evelyn as well, but my husband is so picky! I like classic and some what vintage names but he doesn't. I like Madilynn, Hattie, and Emmilynn of course :) I really like your girls names they are very sweet! We thought about Aubrey for a girl, but I think that it's a trend name, it's not a classic. Like the name Ashley is so over used here we would always have like 3 Ashleys in our classes in school, so I have always wanted to make sure my kids names weren't just the name of the moment. Unfortunately I think my son Caden's name did turn into a trend name, but when I picked it I didn't know any one with the name and after I had him it has become much more popular. My youngest son we call Bubba or Bubby because that's what my oldest started calling him when I was still pregnant with him and it stuck, I'm trying to start calling him Carson more often, but it just feels weird!!!
