I haven't updated because I have had exciting news, but I wasn't ready to share it yet. But....I think I can now :)
I'm pregnant!
Yup, I really am. :) Yes, we're really happy & excited. Yes, everything looks healthy. The due date is March 29, 2008. I'm 6 weeks 6 days tomorrow.
So yeah, I am really bad at secrets. So here's probably TMI. Anyway, my period was late...but I felt like I was going to start at any moment. So I wait & wait & never start. There was one point when I spotted a little, but in hindsight, it was "implantation bleeding." And I was crampy & my back hurt all the time & I broke out in acne - my face, plus my shoulder which NEVER has happened before :( And I had really bad heartburn. However, I still thought I would start my period at any second. But, I guess I never did.
So, David & I went on date night to see the movie No Reservations (which is really cute btw) and as soon as we got home, I ran upstairs & took the home pregnancy test. And wouldn't you know? It was Positive. David was by that time in the next room, so I ran in there holding the test & said look at this! And he was like, is this for real?? It was real cute :)
I made a doctors appt for the next Friday, which explains my absence, since I couldn't tell anyone for a WHOLE WEEK. Seriously, I'm basically an open book, so this was exremely hard for me.
On Thursday, my mom totally told me I was pregnant & I was like, dang it! And had to tell her :) She was super excited, but sad that she couldn't tell anyone yet, lol.
Friday, David went with me to the appt. They made us watch this dorky video, took my vitals, did an exam, did an ultrasound(!!!!), and then sent me to get lots of blood taken (8 VIALS!)
However, the appt went really well. She kept telling me everything looked so healthy & then she did the ultrasound. The baby measured 2mm long and was 5 weeks 6 days. And the best part?! The baby's heart was already beating, so we got to see our baby lightning bug! It was awesome!
So on Friday night, we had David's family over to tell them and Saturday, we had my family over. Everyone was happy & said they just knew it! My parents are super excited because this will be their first grandbaby. Once my family knew, we began telling basically everyone.
So yeah, that's pretty much why I haven't updated in awhile. I'm real sorry, but I'm sure you understand. And to make things better, I'll put up the baby's first picture!!! Enjoy :) And I promise to update more regularly very soon :)
