Appointment updates? I had my 12 week OB appt, where I got to hear the heartbeat for the first time! I got to hear it again at the NT scan the next day with Matt. Doctor said Little Gator is doing awesome!
*2nd Trimester starts this week*
It went wonderful. Once the tech woke up our little bug, Gator started
moving around a lot! Little Gator was stretching and waving and just seemed
pretty happy. The first guess the tech made was a boy, but the more she
looked she thought girl. Either way, the answer is still up in the
air. Doc says everything looks great and our risk for Down's Syndrome
is really low. We
also got nice little videos of Little Gator bouncing around!
This is what we put on facebook to tell the world! It is wonderful having the biggest secret of my life out in public.
Jingle
Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to say, a
BABY'S on the way........ Baby DeCubellis coming June 2013!
I got to hear Little Gator's heartbeat today. It was the most amazing sound I've ever heard. What made it better was I wasn't under the impression it would happen. It definitely made my day and put me on Cloud Nine. Dr. was impressed with the rate being at 151. I can't wait to see our June Bug tomorrow!

We went to see Emily's soccer game today. We had decided that today would be the day to let the rest of my family know. When we got to the house, we told Claire the "secret." She had looked at me and said "No way!" We then swore her to secrecy, and she said she wouldn't tell anyone. We took bets on the way to the soccer fields, whether or not she would spill to Heidi. (Apparently she did). She also tried to tell Holly. But Holly couldn't hear what it was. After the game as we were sitting around, we decided to let Claire tell the secret. She looked so shy, then said it out loud. Everyone smiled and said congrats. Holly had already figured it out. Emily was so excited! She talked to my belly and everything. It was too cute! I loved every moment of it.

Baby is measuring right on track! HB was 174 BPM, and baby is measuring
a little over 2 cm. The tech said I can't hear the HB until 13 weeks,
but it was great to see how much progress baby had made! I loved seeing
the HB flickering away again. I am in love!!! <3
Well, soon to be grandparents. We bought this frame as the reveal gift. We have one, and each set of grandparents have one.
We told Matt's mom last night. She got the package on Wednesday but was not allowed to open it until we were Skyping with her. She was hoping in her heart this is what it was, and got her wish. We told my parents today. We said we had a house present for them. They opened it together, and saw it was a frame. When they flipped it over, Mom started reading the poem and Dad saw what it was. Mom then said what's this? And I think she was thinking what to put in the frame. At that time I started crying, and Dad said " It's a baby, it's their baby." Mom looked at me and saw it was true. There were lots of hugs and tears between my mom and I. It was the best!

Today was the BIG DAY. We got to see our little jelly bean. He/she is measuring at 6 weeks 2 days. Meaning our new due date is June 15th. I had to go in and change our pictures, since I thought we were a week further along. I plan on having another ultra sound to make sure that little jelly bean is measuring where they are supposed to. We got to see the heart beat, which was an AMAZING feeling. I can't believe something is really growing in there. Squeeee!!!!!!

It felt great being told I was pregnant. Even though I had taken another digital yesterday, just to "make sure." We went over the paper work, and they
did all the blood work. Because of my history of irregular cycles,
they're requesting a dating ultra sound. It's scheduled for next
Monday. Squeee!!!!!!!! Hubby & I are so excited to be able to have
our first look at Little Gator. I have a follow up appointment with my
doctor in 4 weeks as well. The next days are going to be so long!!!!

Extra- I have a cold this week, mixed in with my sinuses acting up. Not sure if this is caused by pregnancy or if I caught something from the kids.
I've taken so many pictures of this momentous occasion, I had to take one more. It is what our future family is going to look like. I can't wait!
The future Gator family. =)
I was
in disbelief, but could not wait to tell Matt. I peeked out and told
him to give me a few minutes. I then got out the Gator onesie I had
bought as his reveal gift. I put the Clear Blue on top of it, and the
dog's big brother/ big sister shirts on top of that. I called him in
and said he had a surprise. He turned around and saw the dog shirts.
He was a bit confused because that is how we planned on telling my
parents. He picked them up and saw the positive test. In his state of
disbelief, he said "Really???" about 5 times. We then embraced and I
cried. I had to point out the gator onesie, since he completely
overlooked it.
This is what I showed him:
I had tested on the Wednesday and Friday before and had gotten negatives. Friday really brought me down, so I convinced myself it was still too early. Sunday morning I checked my temp, and saw it was still elevated. I wanted to wait until Matt left to test. But he hadn't, so I waited until he was out of the room. I ran in the bathroom and did it, then waited. My internet cheapie test was positive! I then tested on my Clear Blue. I got a + sign. I was indeed PREGNANT.
It all started with this:
It may seem silly but we needed to see that smiley face. It meant I was in fact ovulating, and it was baby making time. We went through a lot of emotions those 2 weeks waiting to see if God had answered our prayers...
