I'm not sure how to say this but to say it. Or shout it. Or type it loudly. We've kept the secret for so long and actually saying it, saying "I'm pregnant," feels entirely weird. But it's true: I'm PREGNANT!
I'm in my 12th week & have been keeping it secret until I got my ultrasound today. We are so excited for the little baby growing inside of me!!! Seeing it on the ultrasound screen was absolutely unreal. I don't know what I expected, but when the baby showed on the screen, it was the most amazing proof that I AM pregnant (and not just growing my tiny bump with too many cupcakes!) and my eyes filled with tears. The baby held pretty still at first during the ultrasound, but right on cue, when Bob asked the ultrasound technician if the baby should move, it did a little dance for us. It would hold still for a few minutes, then start wiggling all over the place. It was so amazing to see!
I've had a really smooth first trimester. I haven't had any morning sickness (thank goodness!), and my most extreme pregnancy side effect has been the fatigue. On many afternoons you could find me napping on the couch at 4pm, or drifing off during one of my 8pm shows. Thankfully that seems to be passing, because I am supposed to get my energy back for the second trimester.
To anyone who's asked me in the last month or so when I'm going to have a baby, I apologize for the little white lies. "When the time is right" or "I could see it happening soon" were truths in disguise, because the time IS right, and it IS happening soon ... very, very soon! ;)
Here's a look at our little peanut! He/she has arms, I swear ... they just don't show in this picture! :)

Yeah! Congrats girl! I am so happy for you and Bob! I hope your pregnancy continues to go well. And I can't wait for our afternoon walks together. I wish you lived here right now!
Congratulations Tracy! So exciting!
Miss Tracy! As you already knew and STILL know, I am just SOOOO happy for you and Bob! Thrilled you'll have a lil peanut later this year, and I can't wait to meet him/her! (for some reason, I keep wanting to call it a "her" though...just my feeling!) Can't wait to see your baby belly growing (from a baby, not cupcakes) -- I think you'll be a gorgeous mama! xo
