Just in time for Halloween

I have to say I have turned in to a monster lately. I really feel sorry for my poor husband. I cannot explain it but all I know is that I can turn in to a monster in 5 seconds flat. The littlest things set me off and then it takes a while for me to cool off. (And if your lucky I will even cry in the middle of it!) Its truly unbelievable and I cannot believe that just six weeks in to this I would feel so crazy! I just wonder if I will ever be my ol' self again?

Our first doctor's appointment is only 3 days away and I swear I will be better after that! I really think it will ease my mind! There is nothing like being able to see what is actually going on in there. Seeing is really believing.

6 weeks and counting!!

Yep I am six weeks today and only 1 more week until I get to see the Dr. and my little one! I can't wait. This 3 week wait that I have had to endure has been so hard! (So imagine how I am going to be on this 40 week wait!!)

I can't believe how much the baby has already devolped and grown! It is truely a little miracle! I am so excited for what is to come.

Still no morning sickness but a lot of weird aches and pains!! I guess I would rather have that then hug a toliet all day! Its amazing because each week or even day you don't know what its going to bring.

This is such an amazing thing.

5 Weeks

The changes to your growing embryo are not quite as drastic this week as they've been in the last few weeks. Growth is now largely focused on their little head, which is starting to develop much more rapidly than the rest of their tiny body. This is because their amazing brain is undergoing some very crucial and rapid development in order to effectively regulate their heart rate, blood circulation, and other vital functions. As for the rest of their miniature body, what were simple limb buds last week are limb flippers this week and the tail is more expressed. Amazingly, within a mere five weeks your little miracle is already developing the rudimentary forms of their liver, pancreas, lungs, stomach and nasal pits while their little heart is already increasing its circulation. Your baby is now a whopping 4-6mm in length.

Movie Night

I decided that I wanted to go see a movie tonight with one of my friends. It was probably not the best movie to see being hormonal. I balled like a baby. At least this time I wasn't the only one, most of the other people in the theatre were crying too. All women of course. When we left I noticed that my shirt was wet from crying so much. Lovely. Just another day in the life of a pregnant girl.

As for baby, still being good to me, too good to be true.

Oh pregnancy

Well today was another interesting day in the pregnancy world. More weird aches and pains I didn't even know were possible. Last night I had my first major meltdown in the most convienant place....Taco Bell drive thru. It was pretty humilating all because my husband looked at me wrong. Oh what a wonderful 9 months he is about to endure! I didn't know such strange things were going to occur already.

We did have a nice dinner with friends of ours tonight. She is also pregnant but two months ahead of me. It is so nice to be able to talk to someone who has already been there and is still there!! I really appreciate the reassurance that she always gives!

As for now I am not digging the spaghetti and meatballs I had... I guess the baby had other plans for dinner! And so it begins......

Oh my gosh...

Well this is the best way to describe what I felt when I seen that faint little line show up on the pregnancy test. This was only our second month trying and sure didn't expect to see that!

I tested 2 days early because that's just how ridiculous I could be about "getting pregnant". After reading all the books and charting my little heart out I just knew it couldn't be this month. So needless to say when I seen that beautiful second line I really couldn't believe my eyes. But about 5 tests later here I am. Only 4 weeks. Wow, that is a long time before I get to meet my new little bundle of joy.

I cannot begin to express our excitement. I couldn't resist spilling the beans about this wonderful news so we told our families first and then some of our friends. I know its really early but we just wanted to share with everyone the joy of bringing a new life in to this world.

As for how I have been feeling...so far so good but most people don't even know they are pregnant yet so I know the worst is still on its way. Or maybe I could catch a break and be one of the "lucky" ones. Honestly right now I could really care less how sick I get I have wanted to be a mommie for so long.

So for now we are just hoping for the best and counting down till my dr. appt on Oct 23rd and waiting to see that little peanut on the screen.
