Me Growing Dillon

We had to plan this pregnancy so that I wouldn't have a baby during Chris' summer sales season. That was April 15-Sep 15. Yeah, so 5 months were blocked out. We were lucky to be able to get pregnant in February. We found out mid March. We had gone home to Washington to visit. I thought, or maybe just hoped, I was pregnant but didn't want to find out there. We couldn't wait another day and bought a pregnancy test on our road trip back to Utah. Yup, we stopped at a dollar store for a pregnancy test and while we were eating at McDonalds I slipped away to the bathroom. I came back out and I thought Chris knew what I was doing... but he didn't. I told him I was pregnant! Ok, yeah... kinda weird but VERY memorable!!! I started this pregnancy weighing less than ever before in my life as a 5 foot 6-er. And you bet i gained the most of any pregnancy. I always creep my way up to 170 lbs and stay there until delivery, not gaining very much at the end. 

I thought I was 6 weeks when I took these next 3 pictures....

...but I had just found out I was pregnant and I was only 4 weeks.

I went to the Dr for an ultra sound and she told me I was 2 weeks ahead of myself and that my real due date was November 22. I had gained 10 lbs by the time I was 8 weeks.... who does that?! Me. (picture below)

 See that joy written all over my face when I looked in the mirror? :)

 11 weeks (above and below)

 ... and I'm on the move- a week and a half later at 12 1/2 weeks. 

I think I ate too much that day. I'm huge!

 Swim suits dont lie! 

16 weeks.

 17 weeks.

 There's that shirt again that apparently makes me look like I'm carrying twins! 

18 weeks.

 Baby at 22 week ultrasound. 

This is when I would have found out the gender but we decided not to... Chris mostly decided, and I did it for him.

 25 weeks (below)

 27 weeks

 35 weeks (next 2 below)

 36 weeks 

And then I was miserable for 2 more weeks until this little sweetheart came into the world 2 weeks early. Wait... What?!?! Yes, I had him the day after my original due date (calculated by me when I first found out I was pregnant. The Dr. changed my due date based off of measurements that are "extremely accurate" from an ultrasound at 8 weeks). Who knows? I'm just happy I was put out of my misery 2 weeks before expected
