          This week I wondered if we had a super-child in there. He/she was moving so much and we were able to see it kick from the outside.

Baby #  3
Date you found out you were pregnant? November 6
How did you find out? I took a test. Nothing showed up so I threw it away. I went back to the test about 10 times in the next hour. Just to make sure :) After an hour a very faint line had appeared. So faint that I though I was imagining it so I threw it away again.
What was your initial reaction? I got hit by a panic/thrill attack. Literally had a hard time breathing.
Who did you tell first? Jacob, of course!
What were your initial symptoms? Fatigue and nausea.
How long did you wait to tell family? 20 weeks.
Was the baby planned? Absolutely!!!
Do you want to know the sex? A little but I like the surprise so we won't find out.
Any ultrasounds? Not so far and we won't get one unless we need to.
Due Date? July 14th. (I've been telling people July 12 which is the wrong date. Oops)
Total weight gain by 20 weeks? 9lbs
When did you switch to maternity clothes? 18 weeks but still able to wear most of my regular pants.
Any names picked out? Haven't even thought about it. I'll probably need to see the baby first.
Biggest Cravings? Dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe's and GT's Kombucha!!
What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? Feeling and watching him/her kick! Nothing like it!

  Sam and Simone hearing the heartbeat for the first time. Simone was very protective and concerned for me when the midwife pulled out the doppler.

She became nervous and protective again before I got my blood pressure taken. I had to explain that we needed to check my bp to make sure the baby and I were doing well. This is her deciding to be ok with it : ) Such a sweetheart!!!!
