jeff and i are expanding our little family! that's right! we found out we're pregnant on monday, april 14th. Jeff left for school, and i had a feeling i was, so i went to target, got a couple tests and boom! right away...positive. -it doesnt take that much trying to make it happen!- i was SOOO excited and in partial disbelief (and still am). I immediately called my best friend erika, who lives in nashville but couldnt get a hold of her so i called her 3 more times.. :) FINALLY when i got a hold of her i told her the great news! then i told my mom, and she is very excited too! now i had to figure out a way to tell jeff. I went back to target -i think i made 3 trips there that day- to buy a bib that says 'i love daddy' and a cigar. i wrapped it all up, along with the 2 tests i took, and put it in a cute baby shower-ish bag. when he came home he unwrapped it but thot at first it was for some friends of ours who had just had a baby shower i was going to attend, but ended up not being able to. Jeff's reaction was 100% shock. he asked me if i was joking... i said no. he just kind of stood there looking down at the tests prolly for a good 5 minutes. he is very happy and cant wait! after we talked some more, we decided to go tell his parents and sister and brother-in-law. his mom screamed with joy, as did his sister. we're going to get to borrow just about everything from his sister, leah, because she and her husband have a boy, owen, and a girl, nora. so everything from the crib to clothes to toys! that's going to help out a lot! I cant wait to start decorating the nursery! we plan of finding out the sex of the baby... there's no way i could go 40 weeks not knowing what i'm having!
As far as how i feel, i've been lucky and not experienced anything but tiredness. there is the occasional upset stomach, but i attribute that to hunger more than sickness from the little bambino. I'm about 6 1/2 weeks into it, and according to online calculators, my due date will be either december 10th or 12th... somewhere in that week! almost christmas baby!! :) that's all i know for now! i have a couple appts coming up in may so i'll post more then... along with pics too! :)
