A Look Back...

Since I did not post while I was pregnant I wanted to put those 9 months within one post... I will try not to make this too lengthy...

We found out we were pregnant on our 2 year wedding anniversary, and we were sooo excited to finally become parents, even if we still had to wait til July! I was VERY fortunate and thankful to not be sick AT ALL during my pregnancy. I ate pretty much whatever I wanted and it didn't seem to affect me or him. I also only gained 12 lbs total, which was AMAZING! I always thought I would be the girl who would gain 75lbs and never lose it, which scared me to death because I wasn't a toothpick to begin with! lol If every pregnancy could be like this one I would have many more, but sadly every pregnancy is different and I probably won't be so lucky next time! It took me quite a while before I started showing, I felt like I would never look pregnant and just look fat. I remember sitting in the OB waiting room and seeing all the ladies there with their nice round baby bumps, and I told my Mom I couldn't wait to look like that!! I took my first "baby bump" picture when I was 24 weeks and became obsessed with my belly, so every Sunday I took a pic to see how big I was getting... and well you can see for yourself:

It's been a long time...

WOW! So much has changed since June 2010! To sum most of it up, here is a list...


1) Jerry is still working on the road,(currently in Iowa) so no permenant job yet, I'm beginning to think "permanent isn't in the Nuclear vocabulary! haha


2) We celebrated another year of wedded bliss, bringin us up to a whopping 2 years!! OH YEAH!

3) We found out we were pregnant with our first child on that 2nd anniversary! I used my handy dandy tool from nursing school and found out our baby would be due on Jerry's 27th birthday! So I ran upstairs and put the pregnancy test on his chest early that morning and began to sing Happy Birthday to him, he woke up with a confused look and said it wasn't his birthday, and I said... Well I figured we should celebrate today because we may not have time to celebrate yours this year because we may be celebrating someone elses! He then realized the test was on his chest and jumped out of the bed! WE WERE SOO HAPPY! We called our mothers and told them in the same way by asking if they were available that night to celebrate Jerry's birthday because we wouldn't have time on his actual birthday! Needless to say they were ECSTATIC!


4) We found out our lil bundle of joy was a BOY on February 26th! Let the shopping begin!!


5) Adriel Quin Spann was brought into this world on July 16th at 11:38pm, and has changed everything in our lives for the better!


I came back to blogging because I have a HORRIBLE memory, and thought this would be a great way to look back and remember Adriel's lil moments... so stay tuned... I will be posting here and there (probably once a week) about life as Adriel's Mommy!!
