We are ecstatic, and I think i can say the same for everyone else we know!
Ben and I are fortunate to have support from both of our families, and a large group of friends. Lets just say, this is going to be one SPOILED child.
This past Friday, July 15th, 2011, marked 5 weeks. We found out saturday, and I had bloodwork on Monday (positive blood pregnancy test) and Wednesday (HGC levels had risen appropriately). So on Wednesday, August 17th I will have my first prenatal appointment. At that time I will be 9 weeks and 5 days, so we bought prenatal vitamins, and I started changing my diet until the Dr. tells me exactly what he wants me to do. I have my own personal dietitian, my good friend (aunt) Rebecca. :)
Right now the only thing I can tell a difference in is my sleep patterns. I feel more sleepy than usual, but thats normal. Not really any difference in urinating or sickness (unless I get too hot). We cancelled our gym memberships, which is saving us $50 a month. We have an eliptical at home and a great walking path around Cherokee Lake for when the weather gets cooler. I am really appreciative that i dont have to be hugely pregnant in the Summer, thank goodness.
I will try to update this at least every week if not more than that, ecspecially for those of you that live out of town and wanna be in the loop!
