november Nov 5, 2006: Here I am 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant!!! So far things have been GREAT! I have been queasy at times, but for the most part I have been feeling pretty good. I got my pregnancy confirmed by the doctor on Halloween. I have been trying really hard to eat healthy and get plenty of sleep. I also talked to the doc about the meds I am on for my allergies/asthma and all are safe! PHEW! I am so relieved about that! I have my first appt on November 30 and hubby is going to come with me. Then my 2nd appt is Dec 19 where I will have my full exam. We have yet to tell anyone! We are having both of our parents over for dinner this week so we can tell them! It is KILLING me to not have told my parents! I bought each of them a frame and am going to put something cutzie in it and wrap it up! I can't wait to see their faces!!!! I went out and bought the book "What to Expect While Your Expecting" and the Belly Journal so I can keep track of what is happening to my body. I also bought my hubby a book called "She's Having a Baby and I'm Having a Nervous Breakdown". It's a funny book that explains what is happening each trimester in a way that is fun for him! Nov 7, 2006: Well my voracious appetite has changed quite a bit lately. I have gone from being starving every 2 hours to only being hungry in the morning and night with a queasy stomach the rest of the day. I just have no appetite during the day and I have to force myself to eat. I know I have to eat for the baby, but ick. I have been trying to exercise two or three times a week hoping to keep healthy and help with the queasy stomach. The other day I invited my parents over for dinner for this Thursday night and my mom kind of gave me a hard time and said what about Curves (Thursdays is one of our normal nights to go)? Argh.... I was thinking to myself... if you ONLY knew... hehe... they are going to come and we will go to Curves on Sat AM to make up for missing Thursday. I put together the picture frames for our parents... here is a picture of it:
Nov 9, 2006: Well tonight was the night that we told my parents that we are expecting. My dad is REALLY hard to pull one over on so he knew as soon as I told them I had an early christmas present! Hehe.... My mom was all confused, but when she opened the frame she threw it at my dad and nearly knocked me down so she could hug me!!!! HA! She was crying and so happy!!! Now we just have to tell his parents tomorrow night... to be continued!!!!! Nov 10, 2006: YAY FOR SIX WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Today I am officially 6 weeks along! Grow baby GROW! We had Hubbys parents over for dinner tonight to tell them the news! They were so excited!!! His mom and dad both had a hunch, but were still super happy none the less!!! YAY! Now onto the rest of the family!!! Nov 18, 2006: We are officially 7 weeks and 1 day today! So far so good. I have had "morning" (only once in the morning! hehe!) sickness a couple of times over this past week, but I really can't complain! At this point most everyone at my work knows and my parents have been telling people left and right! They are just so excited about it! My mum is lovingly referring to the baby as "you know who". Nov 24, 2006: Eight weeks in - 32 to go! Damian made the announcement of our pregnancy at Thanksgiving yesterday for all his siblings and their families. Everyone one was excited!!! I am so glad that it is now out in the open for all. Still feeling pretty good. The upset stomach still lingers and I am very tired most of the time, even after getting a good nights sleep. We have our first doctors appointment on Thursday Nov 30. I am really hoping that we will get to hear a heart beat. (I will be just one day shy of 9 weeks at that point.) Hearing a heart beat will make it very real for both of us; I know for me it has been very surreal thus far. Nov 30, 2006: Well we had our appt and it went well, but they didn't even attempt to hear a heartbeat. Boo hooo..... Oh well. We talked about medical history, took my weight, blood pressure, and SIX viles of BLOOD! WOW! I had no idea they would take so much! They gave us the option of having the downs syndrome/spina bifida screening and Damian wants it done we we are going to do it. The test will happen on week 12 (Dec 21) and is done via a blood test and ultrasound. I am excited about the ultrasound, but nervous about the test. We also opted to have them test for cystic fibrosis. As I am sure things will be fine, but it's still a bit nerve wracking! I can't wait to see our bean!
