Hello! Welcome to Marc and Nikki's blog! A very short intro about us just incase you are a stranger, bored at work, and just happened to google us somehow. Right now, Marc is 25 and I am 23. I have a little girl named Maddison who will be 4 in April, who is our little ray of sunshine! I could go on and on and on about her, but that's for later! We have been together for 2.5 years now, but have known each other since 2003. We originally met through AOL shortly after Marc moved here from Indiana to attend ASU. We never met in person until 2007 even though we were living in the same apartment complex just a building away from each other for about a year and going to the same college, the same days, and the same times!! So, we like to say we met at Starbuck's - our first meet and greet. Especially because that's when I knew for sure he wasn't some 400lb, 60 year old internet stalker....
Anyhow, Marc and I are about to embark on a very long journey together. We will be getting married March 27, 2010!!! He proposed last May on my birthday, very romantic - wrote it in the sand on Coronado Island in Cali =) Mr. Thoughtful spent a lot of time planning everything out to make it perfect, and it was! Wedding planning is well under way. In fact, we are just down to the little details now. We are both getting very excited!! We plan to honeymoon for a week in Maui immediately following the wedding. I'll miss my little one terribly, but it will be very exciting and romantic to have a whole kidless week together!
Now, for the really big news!
Marc and I do almost everything out of impulse or sponteneity. Nearly all of our purchases, from the pool table we NEVER use right down to all 3 dogs we've bnought were done on a moment's whim and probably with waaaaay too little thought. This is why out of three dogs, we are down to one! It definitely keeps things interesting around here to say the least! There is one thing however, that both of us have never wanted to do on impulse or without proper thought and planning, and this is planning our family together. Especially because children are not like dogs, if one is hard to potty train and the other bites you - you can't just take them back!!! Marc was ready about a year ago for this, and I needed a lot more warming up (and a fat rock on my finger) before I would even consider it. Well, after much consideration, and months of due date calcuations and trying to figure things perfectly to fit between everyone else's birthday's, holiday's, and most importantly - keeping the age gap between Maddison and her sibling as minimal as possible - we finally decided January, yes January, 2.5 months before the wedding would be the best time for us as a family to start trying. Well, it didn't take long!! February 9th I found out I am pregnant!!! So currently, I am 4 weeks along and due October 19th. We are both very excited!! I am a little anxious, only because I am stressing a bit about telling everyone, and answering EVERYONE'S first question which will be, "OMG, WHAT are you going to do about your DRESS?" Well, luckily babies take a while to bake so I doubt by 12 weeks I'll be showing much!! We still haven't decided when exactly we will tell everyone - a very select few already know - but right now we are contemplating just making an announcement at the reception. We will see!
So the main purpose of this blog is to keep track of our first pregnancy, and all the little changes that will be happening in the coming months while I grow a little baby sister or brother for Maddison. She doesn't know yet, only because she can be a bit of an accidental blabber mouth, but she has been asking for a baby brother for quite some time now so I know she will be VERY excited once we tell her! So very quickly, as it is after 9 and I need to get her in bed, so here goes:
Starting weight is....nunya...(ok I'm only telling so I can reminsce later) 112.5
Starting waist is....
I know this is early, but my little pregnancy app on my phone has these listed and I thought it would be neat so:
Cravings: If any, sweets, but I always crave sweets so I don't know if I can really count that.
Mood: Happy
Energy: I actually have felt more energetic than normal in the past week.
Morning Sickness: Slight nausea in the mornings, sometimes after each meal, but it is really very minimal.
