Baby Bump or Food Bump, that is the question!

So I have been noticing a slight bump these last few days. I have been waiting so long for this but I'm in question as to the bump being a true baby bump or just a food bump. When I'm hungry I have no bump, it's not as flat as it use to be but it doesn't poke out. After I eat a meal, large or small, I acquire a very distinct bump. For example
Before food

After food

So this raises the concern am I eating too much or is everything being smooshed out more because of the baby?

More updates we will find out on July 10 if it's a boy or girl!! All the midwives and chinese gender predictors say a girl but we are hoping for a boy. I would be happy with either one but it seems more fun going in with wanting a certain gender!
What does your predictor think Baby Chapman will be?
My best friend Nichole had her baby so we went to visit her first day here on earth. She is adorable and they did come up with a name Khloe (i love the spelling) it made us so excited for our little one

I'm back!!!!!

Sorry everyone that is has taken me over a month to get a post up here. So much has happened and one major reason I haven't been able to blog is bc the pregnancy got worse. I would get sick here and there but I was fine with it because I could at least keep food down. Well at 13 weeks the vomiting got to it's worst. I couldn't keep anything down even the acid in my stomach since I had no food inside for 24 hours. I went to my OBGYN and found out that I lost 5lbs (a total of 10lbs my whole first trimester). Needless to say there is no baby bump and I hear how awful I look all the time, THANKS :-)! lol anyways I was given the most amazing prescription called Zophran to help with the vomiting. I'm able to keep food down and have gained back 5 of the 10lbs I had lost. I'm at 15 weeks and I have gotten sick one more time but I pretty much have my Zophran with me at all times! Other fun things that have happened since are:
My sister Nicole turned 19!



Had memorial day at a friends house who had the best toys: a boat, waverunner, pool, grill, jacuzzi, and lived on the ocean.


Went out on a 40ft boat to celebrate my girlfriend Lisa's birthday! Best birthday idea ever!



Saw my peanut grow from this


To this!



Spent a weekend in Orlando to get some last quality time with Sam's sister and brother-in-law. They are moving to Texas tomorrow and we are so sad to see such a great family go!


And last but not least just found out 1 minute ago that my best friend from dental hygiene school just had her little baby girl! Don't know the name yet I'm not sure if they do either!


I hope that caught everyone up without a ton of pictures and words. I promise that as soon as I get some kind of a bump I will post them but as for now I'm actually thinner than I was before I was pregnant.

And the fun begins!

During my first few weeks being pregnant it was relatively easy and nice. I was starving all the time and felt like normal, just a few cramps everyday. Once we told the family my mom could not stop asking me, "are you sure you don't feel sick?" Yes mom I feel great, I probably wouldn't even know I was pregnant. I didn't have to pee frequently, food was amazing I could eat all day, boobs weren't sore, nothing. Then I had my first prenatal visit and my mom even asked the doctor, "Is it normal for her to feel perfectly fine?" Doctor said yes, in fact it's pretty common for some women to be lucky like that. I just laughed at her for being so envious of my perfect pregnancy. Then that Monday the fun began or should I say the curse that my mom has been hoping for (just kidding mom, I love you). Morning sickness has hit, I have to wake up at 3 every morning to pee. Food is my enemy and smells awful, especially when my husband bought some KFC. I am exhausted and can hardly watch a movie. All in all I am officially a definite pregnant woman.

Some Long Anticipated News!

This Easter was a lot of fun I was able to have all my family present (minus one sister) and Sam's family together. The Chapman family sang in Sacrament and then had a nice big dinner afterwards. Then all the nieces and nephews went a did an easter egg hunt.



And then my niece finds this "special" egg that everyone has to gather around to see what's inside

And this is what it said...


YEP Sam and I are finally...





I took 6 tests because I didn't believe it. We actually found out on March 26 and told the whole family on Easter with the "special" egg. We were dying to tell them, we kept it a secret for 2 1/2 weeks, killer. We were able to get the whole surprise on film so I'll try and post that. I had my first prenatal visit yesterday and will get the first ultrasound in a week. We are very excited and have tried for a long time. I actually started going to the doctors to get tests done to find out if there was anything wrong and then BAM we get pregnant so the doctors probably think I'm wierd for getting all these tests done when there really wasn't anything wrong. I know that this is a major blessing to have and will enjoy every minute. I already have a pooch but the doctor says it's normal. Here are some side view pics
We thought I was a little over 4 weeks here


A little over 6 weeks

7 weeks

The baby is suppose to be the size of a blueberry

Conference weekend!

My conference weekend wasn't planned out very well. I had a baby shower on Sat for my good friend from Hygiene school and I was the hostess (along with her mom and aunt). But they had set up the date like three months in advance so conference wasn't popping in my head right then. Anyway so I missed all of Saturday's session but I was able to watch Sunday. I only have a few pictures from Sunday but they are hillarious.
She definitely had a good turn out with lots of presents

Nichole's good friends (Me, Alli, Nichole, Sarah, Lisa, and Nicole)


The girls that put the shower together (Nichole's Aunt Joy, her mom, Nichole, and me)

And this is what happened during the Sunday session of Conference

The Gold and Green Ball

So this past saturday we had the wonderful opportunity to attend the St. Petersburg Stake Gold and Green Ball. It was definitely fun dressing up more than the usual Sunday best. I wore lipstick for the first time since my high school prom, I'm just not into my lips being bright and colorful. I was able to go with my wonderful husband and see and meet many great friends. Sam and I also went to the beach that day and it was perfect weather, a little windy and the water was freezing (at least to us true floridans) and we got the best sunburn tan ever. I felt like movie stars going to a ball. It was something that I'm glad we went to.

Sam's Birthday!!

Sam turned the big 2-6- and we had his family come over to celebrate and since I already talked about it in the last blog here are the pics
