14 weeks :)

Since I missed last weeks post I decided to do this weeks a day early! Tomorrow I will be 14 weeks... CRAZY!!

I can't believe how fast the time has gone by!

We had a doctors appointment last Thursday and we were a little disappointed with the results...

It was supposed to be the appointment when we got to find out a guess of what we are having, but we had a few complications.

For starters, our classes got out a little late so we were running about 5-10 minutes behind schedule. Our appointment was for 4:45 and at 4:40 we were still 10 minutes away so we called our doctors office to let them know what was going on.

The receptionist went to talk to the doctor and when she came back she told us that she marked us down as 5 minutes late and that we would be fine as long as we weren't more than 10 minutes late because Dr. Davis had a C-section scheduled for that night.

We ended up making it into the office and checked in at 4:47 and then we ended up waiting in the waiting room for 15 minutes! I assumed that was a good thing and that us being late wasn't a big deal...

Well we got into our room and the doctor came in and was seriously with us for under 5 minutes! It was so disappointing. He walked in and made a comment about us being late and that he was glad we called to let them know and that we would have to make this appointment a little bit quicker than normal. (He failed to say anything about why we had to wait in the waiting room for 15 minutes!)

He then grabbed the ultrasound and hurried his way through the appointment. The picture he printed for us doesn't even look like a baby but during the ultrasound on our DVD we could see very clearly where the baby was!

Cute little baby Allred was being the biggest wiggle worm and the doctor spent less than 2 minutes with the ultrasound and told us that the baby wouldn't quit moving and that he didn't have time to wait to find out if we have a little Kaydynce or Asher on their way...

When we walked outside I burst into tears! It was so awful! I had been looking forward to finding out but I had also been preparing myself for him telling us that we weren't far enough along to get a good guess.... what I wasn't expecting was for our doctor to not have time for us and then for making it seem like it was our fault for showing up 3 minutes late to our appointment. We didn't leave the appointment with any exciting news or evidence of our baby! We barely heard the heartbeat in clips here and there and he was so fast with the ultrasound we barely got to see our baby!

He took the time so he knew the baby was safe but he didn't give us the chance to see for ourselves...

After we put our dvd in and watched it a couple of times I was able to get a picture off of the dvd that was pretty good and that made me feel a little bit better but we were still very disappointed in our experiance all together.. Hopefully our next appointment goes better and we are supposed to get to find out what we are having for sure!

Other notes from our weekend (much happier notes haha!)...

Eric's birthday was on sunday and he got all sorts of fun stuff! After our doctors appointment on thursday we went out to eat at Olive Garden and then we went to Nike Outlet store and he picked out a nice new pair of shoes! He also got a super nice sketching kit and 2 outfits from my mom, a $50 check from each of my grandparents, a pull up bar and the perfect pushup from his sister Britt, and then as a joint birthday present for the both of us his parents bought us an Xbox Kinect! Needless to say, we came back to Ephraim very spoiled!

In addition to Eric's birthday, Sunday was also Easter of course! We had such a great time being able to spend 4 whole days with our families and just get a break from work, school, and other responsibility!

And my last note for this post... I wanted to talk about weight gain during pregnancy!

I've never been one that likes to wear my shirts very tight due to insecurities about my tummy so I always assumed that when I got pregnant, pretty much my entire closet would still fit me. I assumed that just my belly would get bigger and everything else would be the same and so that all of my clothes would still fit me!

I can't tell you how wrong I was! I'm only 14 weeks and have just a tiny belly that mainly looks chubby and I've only gained 4-5 pounds (depending on the day I weigh myself!) and my clothes are already starting to get uncomfortably tight! Anything around my waist is pretty much uncomfortable. My legs and arms have stayed the same size so my pants fit fine everywhere but the waist and my shirts fit fine until they get to that awkward middle section! This wouldn't be that big of a problem if I could just slap on some maternity pants and call it good... but you see, maternity pants just fall off and the shirts look too big on me. That leaves me with 4 options.. 1- wear too big maternity clothes, 2- wear too tight normal clothes, or 3- go buy me new normal clothes in bigger sizes... well since the first 2 are super annoying and the 3rd one is pretty much not an option with all of our other bills and fun stuff that leaves me with my last and chosen method: 4- wear a mix of big and small clothes and mainly stick to sweat pants and comfy, scroungy clothes...

I also didn't expect to feel so fat! I don't feel cute and pregnant at all... instead I feel super chubby and overweight! I don't know if this thought is a huge misconception as well, but I can't wait for my belly to get bigger and more firm so that I actually feel cute and pregnant, not just fat in all of my clothes!

well anyways, sorry this post was so long (as always!) and here is the picture we were able to get off of our DVD....
