Our 1 Year Anniversary

This past Sunday, Travis and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at a bed and breakfast! I can't believe a year has gone by from when we said "I Do." I remember the day we got engaged and all of the planning began for a wedding in 6 months in Louisiana! We had so much fun putting all of the details together for the big day. My parents had to do most of the planning and details since we were away. They did an amazing job and it was a special time for my mom and I. Our wedding day finally came, and everything went better than we could have ever expected. When my dad walked me down the aisle, it was such an emotional moment for the both of us. I was so excited to see Travis standing at the alter so we can start our new life together as husband and wife. It was a day that I will always remember and will forever cherish. 

Thank you mom and dad for making this one of the most special days of our lives. 

Travis,  thank you for always loving me and being here for me. We have had some wonderful memories in our first year of marriage and I can't wait to continue our life with our new family and our new memories that we will make together. I love you with all of my heart!

Our First Ultrasound

Today Travis and I went in for our first ultrasound of our little peanut. When we saw it appear on the screen, I was in such awe of our little miracle. The doctor went through routine photographs and then showed us it's heartbeat. I teared up watching it flicker on the screen and then to hear from the doctor that it was a healthy and strong heartbeat made it even better. It's heartbeat was beating at 136 beats per minute. I am currently 7 weeks and 2 days with my due date set for February 24th. We go again in 4 weeks and I can't wait to see how much it has grown since this first visit. It's so amazing to see this little tiny thing inside you be life that you created and are going to bring into this world. Travis and I have been waiting for this day to come. 

As far as being sick, I have been pretty lucky for the most part, so far! I have been very fatigued and queasy with a very little appetite. I even lost 7 pounds when I weighed in today! Nothing really sounds good to eat but I know I have to feed the baby so I try to put something in my stomach. I'll be glad when this passes! It's been nice to have the summer off to go through my first trimester. We are anxious for the next several months and to watch our little peanut grow. Here are a few pictures from our sonogram today! Enjoy!

Love Y'all,
Mary
