Team Tillman is Growing...


I found out I was pregnant on Wednesday, February 4th. I knew I wanted to tell Chaz in a fun way, so I kept it a secret for 10 (!!!!) days...until Valentine's Day. Only a few people knew - my friend Whitney who made Nora's cute reveal dress (pictured below), my friend Caroline who kept Nora while I had my first prenatal appointment (which involved 6 viles of blood taken), and my BSF instructor Carrie who I tell all my prayer requests to. Valentine's morning I made Chaz breakfast and when he came upstairs to eat, I told him I was going to go change Nora's diaper. I really changed her into this dress. I walked upstairs and set her down for Chaz to see her "cute Valentine's Day dress"...and this is what he saw. His immediate reaction "NO WAY!!! YOU'RE KIDDING?!?!?!" He was so excited.  Nora of course had no idea what was going on...just that daddy was happy. When I told him on Valentine's Day I was only 5 weeks pregnant, so we had to wait a (long) month until our appointment where we could see Tiny2.0. 


Tiny2.0's first ultrasound. I was at 9.5 weeks. Baby was measuring perfectly on schedule. We saw the heart beating, but it was too early to hear anything. We heard the heartbeat the day before I was 14 weeks. YAY! It was measuring between 140-150. 

I've been taking belly pictures along the way for the past 2 months...taken every Friday morning. Getting slightly depressed because I'm one of those women that my belly AND my quads/butt get pregnant. Not liking how all my shorts/pants are starting to get tight. Grrrrrr. Especially going into shorts/bathing suit season. 

8 weeks. 9 weeks.

10 weeks. 11 weeks. 
  

12 weeks. 13 weeks.

14 weeks. 15 weeks.
