The Highs of Pregnancy

Being able to see our little girl at each appointment has been the highlight of being pregnant....That along with her kicks, punches, and all her movements. I was fortunate and started feeling her around 15weeks. It wasnt until about 19 weeks that Will was able to feel her. Now we sit and watch my tummy move as she moves. When I dont feel so good, just feeling her move makes me smile. It is a love that is already so strong and so pure and so amazing...I am so thankful to God that He has blessed Will and I enough to be parents. I hope all of my friends and family will pray for us daily that we raise her up in a way that is pleasing to God.

Will and I have not stopped since learning I was pregnant...there is not a function that we skip. Yes, there are times when I am in need of breaks, but it also helps for the weeks to pass by quickly. In the first trimester, when I was so sick, it helped me to just keep going...I mean you cant go to a party and complain that you dont feel good...you just have to get it out of your mind. so my suggestion is to push forward and keep on truckin...

It is so much fun to guess who she will look like or act like or remind us of. I am certain she is going to look like Will, but with dark hair(the heartburn has me convinced)...I am hoping for curls- like Wills bc I can just see her now with those precious curls...but more than anything we hope for a healthy baby, and we hope to be great parents for her!

Its a Girl.....

ITS A GIRL

We were able to find out early what we were having. Our ultrasound tech is the sweetest girl ever!!!! Ever since finding out I was pregnant I have just known it was a girl. I think because Will. I just think God knew he needed a sweet little girl to wrap him around her finger. I was so nervous for the ultrasound because we had never seen her or him at this point, and I just wanted to make sure everything was ok. It was so special and as we held hands we were told, "its a girl". Will was so sweet and he didnt show any dissappointment that he wasnt getting a son...he went right into saying she will be the first and youngest girl to kill this and that... ha!!!! We waited until our next appointment to officially start buying pink, but were thrilled the same when we learned it was for sure a baby girl.

Choosing her name....

we are still at debate on what to name our daughter. Will and I started strong with the name Reese(Reese Worsham) just had a ring to it...I love the R with the W. We then went on to Clayton, Ann Clayton, Anna Clay, Riley, Ryan, Jennings, Swayzee, Kathleen, Darby, Pratt, Hastings, Carter, adn several others I cant recall right now....This is her name forever and it is so much harder than I ever imagined(harder not only because Will and I are not agreeing, but also because its a really big deal)!!!! I want Will to love her name too!!! So this is something I want both of us to love. I was hoping we would know her name prior to seeing her; however, it is not looking like we will....

Sharing The News with The Family....

Since we were so close to Christmas we decided we would wait to tell the family(well, everyone but Callie bc she was impossible to hide this from)! We told Callie first bc she wanted some of my wine(that wasnt wine at all) and didnt understand why I wouldnt share...then we spilt the wine(that didnt smell like wine at all)! ha

Telling Wills family....

The weekend before Christmas we went with Wills Family to Atlanta to stay with Aunt Anthony. This seemed the perfect time to share the news with Wills family(as hard as it was not to tell mine first)! We had all been at dinner and were back at Aunt Anthonys(Will and I had to tell Melton and Linda first because they had quizzed us at dinner since I didnt drink...and Linda wanted to vicariously drink through me since she was already pregnant)! ha We had them fooled but decided to tell them on the way back to the house...It was very cute to watch Will get nervous....He didnt know what to say and then came up with the cutest line for his daddy(whom we were already on about quitting smoking for Linda and Melton's baby)! The conversation had been brought up again...so Will went over and put his hands on his dads shoulders and said, "Well, dad you now have 2 reasons to quit smoking because Aimee and I are having a baby too." Everyone screamed and it was much excitement... Wills family was so good about keeping my secret until I was able to tell my family. I am so glad we were able to share the news in Atlanta with Will's Aunt Anthony and Hartwig...they were so grateful and made us feel very special.

Telling my family....

We were planning on waiting until Christmas morning, which is also my mother's birthday, but Christmas Eve's Eve presented itself better. We were at my Grandmothers(Nannies, dads mom). I had a gift for my mom that I told her was for her house but really special for Jack Marshall too(this is my oldest sister, Blair's first child- his first christmas)...so unknowingly Blair gets out the video camera and records the entire thing(priceless)! My mom went to open the gift and when she opened it up, it was a plate with Jack's foot and hand prints(making a reindeer)...Everyone OOOOoooed and Aaahhhhed over the precious gift. Then she pulled back the tissue paper and her mouth dropped...she saw the little mittens on the next plate that read baby worsham...her head hit the back of the chair and she said nothing for a while- then Blair leaned over with the camera and saw it- she threw the camera down and had a pep rally right there- Everyone burst into tears...including Will which made us cry harder...it was so special and such a big surprise!!!!! We shared the news with my mother's family the same way on Christmas morning.

We are having a baby...a baby girl

Since I am behind, I figured I would update anyone and everyone on our story of finding out and the months of pregnancy....

While we were not planning on having children this early in our marriage(we were married 6 months when we found out), we are thrilled to be so very blessed. Will and I were getting ready to go to the Olemiss MSU egg bowl- football game. I just knew I was worried for no reason(other than missing a few pills here and there)....well, I knew until I saw the PINK line. We were ready and dressed for the game and decided to stop by Walgreens to make ourselves feel better. We grabbed the $4.99 test at the counter and ran back by the house. I thought you had to wait like 2 minutes for a result, but I was wrong- it was there as soon as I set it down. I yelled for Will and cried!!!! he was so very sweet and assured me everything would be ok. What a strange feeling that day and the weeks to come where we hid this from everyone...as close as I am with my family and as hard as it for me to keep a secret, we did. We waited until Christmas to announce the BIG surprise!!!!
