A baby is coming!!!

In less than 6 months from now, Team Thompson will have another member. I can't believe I'm going to be a mother of three! It just blows my mind. So many emotions go through me everyday from happiness to worrying to nervousness to how crazy our household is going to be. But I just remind myself to take a deep breath and try to enjoy this pregnancy because it's going to go by quickly!

I am 13 weeks pregnant and we had our first ultrasound on Tuesday. The first appointment for me always makes me nervous because I feel like I have to wait so long to make sure the baby is okay. But once the baby was on the screen moving around and we could hear that strong heartbeat, all that nervousness went away and I was reassured that the baby was just fine. During the first trimester, the only big symptom I had was exhaustion. I knew from the beginning I was pregnant because I was instantly tired and needed to take a nap to get through the day. My energy is slowly returning but I still have days where it's tough to get off the couch.

Below is an ultrasound pic and a belly shot that Savanna took last week:
