Telling Everyone the Good News! (Part 2)

Andrew took a baseline belly picture for me yesterday so we would have something to go off of. He said he wants to take one every day so he can create a flip book but I think that is a little much! But at least now when I am eight months pregnant I can look back on this picture and think about how good it will be to be back at that size. :)

I was actually excited to go to work today because I was going to get to tell everyone (well some people) the good news! I told my principal first thing this morning. She gave me a hug and told me if a needed anything just to let her know that the baby is what is important right now. I was not planning on telling anyone else but I couldn't help it. I told Tracy my nieghbor across the hall and she cried...it was so sweet. Then I called all of teachers in my gradelevel out to the playground and told them. Linda told me she would come back to do my maternity leave....hehe (she is retireing). I might have to take her up on that! I told my LaFiesta crew and then told the gradelevel they could spread the news from there!

Oh I also call the doctor today. I told them that I had taken three tests and all of them were positive. They said there was no need to come up for a blood test because it was pretty much a sure thing if I got three positive results. They made an appointment for me to come in on April 23rd at 2:00 for a ultrasound, family history, and a physical!!! I cannot wait to see our baby!

I have been feeling pretty good. I have had a little cramping, some nausea, and I am feeling tired today. But I have not thrown up yet! Lets hope I don't! I still cannot believe that this is real. I keep wanting to take more pregnancy tests to make sure I have not completely lost my mind! I am hoping that all the worrying will subside after the first ultrasound!

Telling Everyone the Good News!

Yesterday we went to my parents house for my dad's birthday. I figured since everyone was going to be there it was as good a time as any to tell them the good news. I was really nervous and ancy the entire way there. Before we left Macon I went to Kroger to pick up some prenatal vitamins and while I was there I got I set of pacifiers. I wrapped them up in Christmas wrapping paper and then put it in a bag. When we got to the house I told moma and daddy that it was for both of them so they had to open it together. Daddy opened it and took off the wrapping paper and had the biggest grin on his face. Moma gave me a hug and then Daddy kissed me on the head and told us congratulations. My older sister was suprised because she didn't know we had started trying yet because we were not supposed to start until April. But you know how things change! But I was really happy that they were as excited as they were! I then called my little sister and told her the good news. She was excited as well. We ate dinner and hung out for a little while and then headed to Douglasville to tell Andrew's family. It was really funny how Andrew told them because the way he did it was really confusing. He told them that we had decided to start trying and were hoping to get pregnant as of yesterday....but they didn't understand that so I had to come out and say I was pregnant. Then they all screamed and gave us hugs. They were really surprised. After we left the house we went to see Kayla cause she just got back from her honeymoon. It was nice to see her cause I do not get to see her a lot and I got to see her apartment! Most people are saying that they hope it is a girl. There have been a couple that say they think it will be a boy. But I guess we will just have to wait and see!

We're Pregnant!!

I took three pregnancy tests yesterday (March 27th) and all three of them were positive! While all of them had a faint line there was a line there nonetheless! I could not believe it! I think we are still both in a bit of shock! We started "trying" around the 11th after I had recovered from my gallbladder surgery and completely did not expect it to happen this soon! We are going to Peachtree City to tell my parents the good news today followed by Douglasville to tell Andrews parents. We are not exactly sure what we are going to do yet but I am sure we will come up with something. We feel completely blessed that it happened this soon for us but a little taken back at the same time! I cannot wait until my appointment with the doctor where I get my first ultrasound. I am going to call the doctor and make an appointment on Monday! More posts to come!
