My favorite post EVER!!!!


I was going to wait but I can't, I have to get it out. I am PREGNANT!!!!!! I am so freaking excited, I still am in some serious shock! We did not think it would happen this fast, we were wrong. Call me fertile Mertyl I guess, holy cow!!! Anyway I found out a week ago and have been dying to post it. I was going to wait a couple months, but if you know me you know that that is impossible. I mean how the heck to you keep in the most exciting news of your life? I can't do it, but now I am a nervous wreck. I never thought I would be this nervous. I am a stress case, and all day I worry, every little pain freaks me out, I can't handle it. But soon this will all be over and I will have this beautiful little baby here to hold and cuddle and take care of forever. Rhett is so excited and shocked all at the same time! We don't care what we have, all we care is that it is healthy and everything goes smoothly. I cannot believe I am going to be a mom, by far the Craziest feeling I have ever had. I want to keep running, and they say it is ok, but when I do I worry the entire time and feel like it is not worth the risk of harming my baby. I am about 6 weeks along, I know that is not much, but can I just say time is already flying. Well this is long and I could go on all day, but I will save your time for your families. Anyway, I feel so blessed to have this experience, this is something I have wanted for so long, and it is finally happening, I can't begin to explain how I feel!!!!! i am so lucky to have an amazing husband to take care of me, and my baby. I have no worries about that, I am so thankful for him in my life, he is truly my everything. On a lighter note can I just say that my boobs hurt so bad, I want to die, but that is really all I feel, a few headaches, but no nausea yet!!! Thank heavens, but I would go through anything to have a baby!!!!

Nichole! I am SOO beyond happy for you, lets be honest a little jelous, but mainly SO happy for you! that is so unbelievably exciting! oh, thats awesome! you should definitly keep running it will help you get back into shape after the baby is born. It wont hurt the baby either. A healthier mommy is grounds for a healthier baby. oh nichole I am so happy for you and rhett! I cant wait for my turn! I think I am going to be the same way about wanting to wait to tell everyone, I have said I want to wait a little while after I get pregnant but I doubt I will be able to hold it in for long. haha.. I am so happy for you! have I already said that yet?! ha ha, Congrates!

YEAH!! Congratulations. I hope you can stick to just sore boobs and never get morning sickness. It makes pregnancy so much easier. I didn't get morning sickness and had such an easy pregnancy. I did gain 45lbs but it was gone in 3 weeks after delivery. I worked until I had her and stayed very active the whole time. I think it really makes a difference. I know how you feel about the working out thing though. I would still work out but take it easier. Congratulations and GOOD LUCK!!

PS don't stress yourself to death. That is not good for baby either!

Wow Nichole, I got goose bumps when I read your blog. Congratulations! No wonder you've seemed so baby hungry! You'll be a wonderful mother! What a blessing it will be to take care of a little one that's your's forever!

Jocelyn said...

You'll have to keep posting to keep us all updated on the whole thing! Yes keep running...Until it's not safe anymore that is! I'm pretty positive I'll be that pregnant lady at the gym! But seriously...CONGRATS!! I'm excited and happy for you!

The Jones Family said...

yay Nichole! I am so excited for you and Rhett! It is the best experience ever- and you are so lucky to not be sick yet hopefully that lasts. I think it is probably okay to run as long as you feel okay when you do- I excercised only my first trimester then it was just awkward and uncomfortable! This is the best news for you guys! So when is your actual due date?

Brianna said...

I have been waiting to tell everyone!!!!! I am so excited cause I guess I can now that you've posted it! My Mom and sisters are SO excited for you! I get all giddy when I think about it. The only thing I'm realizing is that my kids are going to be loners...

OH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations to you both! Can I just say, you'll be the cutest family ever!
I LOVED being pregnant, everyone is so annoyed when I say that. It is the most amazing feeling! YOu get to keep your baby safe and healthy all that time until "IT" is ready to be born.
I a msoooo excited for you nichole! My doc told me to stop running when felt it. Around 5 or 6 months, it felt wrong, like it was bouncing around so I just walked and did lots of weights too.
Good luck!!! I am stoked!

RHETT AND NICHOLE said...

Thanks everyone, I am so excited, I can't even find the word to explain how I feel!!! I may be asking a lot questions and opinions in future posts so be ready!!! Thanks again!!

Camie said...

Wow, what great news! I don't really ahve anything extra to add, but feel free to ask all the questions you want! It is going to be one hot little baby that is fo' sho'

... said...

Nicole! That is awesome! And you seem more than ready! I don't know what it is like, but I would suggest when you can't run anymore to start swimming. Either laps or aerobic classes! It is a great exercise and it doesn't pull on your tummy (at least that is what I have been told)! I use to teach water aerobics and most of the women that came were pregnant! Good Luck!

Rachel said...

This is the best post i have EVER read! CONGRATULATIONS! I seriously had a feeling that you were pregnant cause brianna called me the other day to ask if i was cause everyone else is and for some reason i thought of you. then i read your comment on briannas page and you said your boobs were huge so i figured you were! YAY YAY! the next 8 months is going to be the best ever! I loved being prego, even when i was hugging the toilet. it is the best when you can feel them moving and when you hear the heart beat for the first time you are going to want to cry! I can't even begin to tell you how happy i am for you guys! Keep up with your workout! My friend is due in 3 weeks and she was running 5 miles a day up until 2 or 3 weeks ago. Healthy mom=healthy baby! i wanna be pregnant again so bad, amybe this post will help convince bryan! haha

Heidi said...

Congrats Nichole and Rhett!!! I am so excited for you. It will be fun to read all your posts about pregnancy (and get me even more baby hungry)! Haha. Good luck with everything.

Ok so did you get my phone message? I am so dang excited for you!!!!! I feel like I am having another one. I am with Lindsey I absolutly loved being pregnant. I honestly miss it. I just know that you will love every minute of it. by far the best post ever. well keep us up to date. I aslo ran a little bit but I got really nervous about miscarring so I just started walking at 8 weeks. You will know what to do and what is right for you. CONGRATS again!!!!

RHETT AND NICHOLE said...

Thanks so much everyone, I am getting more excited hearing the comments, hearing the heartbeat will be amazing!!

The running thing is so frusterating to me, I ran yesterday, and was out of breath after like 1 mile, I kept going for almost 5 but I used to be able to run all day and never get out of breath, I honestly feel like I got hit by a bus all the time. Oh well it will all be worth it!!!

I want to be so healthy, but nothing sounds good at all, I honestly don't crave anything, it is the weirdest thing ever, I hate salad and healthy things, I am trying to eat them but they honestly make me gag! What do you do about that?

Kailee, I totally got your message, I was at the doctor with my mom or I totally would have answered. Thanks a lot for the call, it meant a lot to me!!!!

Erin Tarwater said...

Wow! Thats awsome! Congrats! I'm ver happy for you guys! ps Brianna, your kids can hang out with mine...

Nicole- I am studying nutrition and my last class went in to depth about nutrition! You only need an extra 300-400 calories a day for your baby, not like some mothers ya know that eat tons! But just make sure you are getting a lot of nutrients folic acid is very crucial especially within the fist 12 weeks, it helps the development of the brain stem! Just be smart with what you eat but most importantly just eat! (Good Stuff, not crap!) Well, again I am so excited for you! I have tons of articles about pregnancy and stuff from my nutrition class I can send to you if you would like!

Marla said...

Hi Nichole, that's great news, congratulations. Bri said she told you to see Dr. Peterson. I just had to second her opinion for you and tell you he truly is the best. You will love him, he is extra nice and ultra caring. His pregnant patients always come first, where at a an OB you are just another pregnant lady. In my opinion, then he can still see your baby to and that makes it more personable. Wow this is long but I promise you will love him and tell him I sent you and he will be even more extra nice to you. Let me know how it goes. don't forget to take care of yourself, that baby needs lots of food and nurturing, very important. Love ya

Rachel said...

nichole, so really the most important thing is eating. if you don't feel like a salad you don't have to eat it. if you feel like a milkshake go get one. just don't eat 3 a day as long as you are eating throughout the day that is all that matters. i ate alot of kix cereal and toast with butter. also i'm sure you are already taking a prenatal pill but if you aren't that is the first thing you need to get. the whole running thing is going to be hard for the first trimester, come second trimester you will be at your best. as long as your doc. is ok with it then it's no big deal. But it's really all about how you feel cause "MAMA KNOWS BEST!" again i am so happy for you guys, i bet your mom and tara are so excited too! I hope all is well with you and keep posting about all your experiences, it will give all us moms a good laugh to remember each week and all the crazy emotions we have. haha!

Lindsey Lee said...

COngrats, COngrats, Congrats!! That IS the most exciting news. You will be great and no worries, i was a major worry head too! But let me tell you, running keeps your energy up. I ran to my doctors appointment the other day and my doc said that is the smartest decision i can make...excerise during pregnancy!! YEAH for you and keep me posted!

RHETT AND NICHOLE said...

So today sucked, I feel like I have the flu. We tried to look at houses, we had to come home once, I felt so crappy. Absolutely no food sounds good, I thought this sickness crap was only supposed to happen in the mornings, mine lasts all day, that is ok I will be fine, but I want to work out, but feel really sick, and not in the mood. It is all crazy, and exciting, keep telling me more tips, anyone at all, I need to hear them!!!

Emily Blais said...

JEALOUS! CONGRATS though. I am SO SO SO happy for you and Rhett. You guys are going to be amazing parents. Good for you guys. I am so excited to be seeing and hearing updates from you guys!

Danielle said...

Oh my gosh!!! Nichole!! That is SO freaking awesome! You are going to be the CUTEST prego person!! Congratulations! ha ha...I am way excited for you :) It seems like everyone I know is getting pregnant and having babies, maybe I should too! Ha ha...So, were you guys trying?

The Morrisons... said...

I am so excited for you guys. It is the most amazing thing ever. There is nothing like it. Congrats! When is your due date? If you have any questions, please ask!

Kelli Eudis said...

I know this is late...but CONGRATULATIONS!! You are going to be such a great mom. That is so exciting.

RHETT AND NICHOLE said...

I am due towards the end of march, and we were not really trying, it is a long story, but it happened way faster than I thought. But you take what you are given, I feel blessed to be pregnant. It is still not feeling like it is real, right now you just have all these symptoms, but nothing to show for it. I am now getting sick as a dog, faboulous let me tell you , but I don't care it is worth it!!!

Jonathan, Kaity & Halle said...

Ok so not too long ago I had a dream, and you were in it, and you were pregnant. Weird huh? CONGRATS!!! I know it's late, but oh well. This is by far the BEST post I have ever read. I am really so excited for you. Are you still going to do yoga or is Bikram bad when you're prego?? Oh you will be the cutest pregnant person ever. So were you guys trying? I want to hear the story...

Jonathan, Kaity & Halle said...

You know what I just realized. Last year I had a dream that Nikki (from Contempo)was pregnant and having a baby girl, then like 2 weeks later she found out she was finally pregnant and I'm pretty sure she had a girl. I guess I should start writing these dreams down and telling the people they involve. Ha!

Jake said...

Nichole!!
Congrats on your Prego news... That is so Dang exciting!! Because you found our blog site, which Jake made like months ago, we decided to get it up and running. So, you should check it out. How did you find it anyway?? We never thought anyway would see it... Anyhow so good to hear from you and congrats again. Oh and we totally know Justin and Ashley and Fisher. They are so dang cool. That is so weird you met them!!

Cassidy Legg said...
