We're Going to the Doctor Today!

We get to hear our little one's heartbeat today!! I will post more after the appointment.

I'm Pregnant...My Thoughts and Reactions!

Since my body is pretty much like clock work it was pretty obvious that something was up on October 6, 2007, but I didn't want to act too quickly and go from pure excitement to disappointment all in a matter of minutes so I put off taking a pregnancy test until Tuesday, October 9th. David was out at the church and I was home alone on my lunch break and as we all know now... the test was positive. At first, I couldn't believe it, I didn't know if I should scream or cry or what. I already knew that I was trying to keep it a surprise from David since his birthday was later that week, so I immediately had to call my sister to blurt out the news and figure out what the heck I needed to do. Well it was the day before David's birthday and he confronted me about being pregnant, and of course I couldn't lie so needless to say there was no longer a little surprise for him to find out about on his birthday. I thought that I was doing good too, I had put feminine products out in the bathroom so it looked like there was no way I could be pregnant, but my plan failed. Either way, it was fun to see how excited David was and is about having a little one.
And so the weeks pass... At first I didn't really feel any different, maybe a little tired and occasional heart burn but that was it. We went to our first Doctor's appointment on October 19th, and found out that my tentative due date is June 14th. It seems so far away but I have been assured that it goes by so quickly. We have another appointment scheduled for November 9th, and they are going to do our first sonogram. We may be able to hear the heart beat, but I am not sure. At this appointment the doctor is going to measure the baby and tell me exactly how many weeks he thinks I am and finalize my due date. I am not looking forward to the process of finding all this out, but am excited to see my little one for the first time.
Well I am now experienced in the morning sickness business. My experiences have been as follows: having to pull the car over on the side of the road, puking and/or gagging while brushing my teeth, cleaning up after myself while dry heaving at work and busting a blood vessel in my eye from intense strain while vomiting! So as for this week I am not a big fan of pregnancy but I will let you know if I change my mind as time goes on. I have heard that most of this will be over after the first trimester, however my mother and one of my sisters keep reminding me that they were sick the entire 9 months.
