11 weeks

On December 7, 2012, after missing my period by two weeks I weighed all my options. I remember thinking to myself, "Could I really be pregnant?!" I bought a test (or three) that night and after Seth went to work I took them. Assuming they would be negative I went about my business. After getting distracted by laundry and dishes I remembered that I had peed on a stick. Sure enough, two little pink lines told me the cause to my missing monthly gift. Oh boy! I really can't tell you if I had a real reaction other than disbelief. I hadn't missed a pill, had NO symptoms, and I didn't "feel" pregnant like I've always heard you do. So I took another test. And well, long story short, here we are. I decided to keep a blog on my growing bump. Each week I will post pictures and updates. And now I'd like to introduce you to my 11 weeks bump!
