Exciting News!

I dropped Mike off at the shop at 2 AM Wednesday night/Thursday Morning June 3rd. Went to bed, woke up at 10 AM and took a preggo test.... positive! I knew it would be- I felt a little off, and I was late. Bummer part is, Mike and I had already discussed what to do if I found out I was pregnant while he was out at work- wait until he gets home to tell him. I can understand that- he didn't want to be overly distracted at work, it could mean someone else's life. Also, he wanted to be with me when he found out, that way we can be excited together : ) So for one week, I had to keep my mouth shut... it's not fair for me to tell everyone else and have Mike be the last to find out! I did slip a bit though, I was too excited to not tell anyone! So for that week I was trying to figure out the best way to tell Mike. My friend Tiff (one of the only people I slipped to lol) told me to give him a gift- that way when he came home from offshore, he could open the gift after he got settled in. So I bought Mike a book and a onesie, and put them in a box with the test.

It worked out well : ) He was just as excited as I was, and this way I was able to tell him without just screaming it out at him.

I went to the doctor yesterday for my first appointment. Didn't really find out a whole lot- my thyroid is a little enlarged, so he took some blood, but said that it's not uncommon to be related to the pregnancy. Our estimated due date is February 13th, 2010 just based on my cycle. I am 6 weeks tomorrow, and I am going back to the doctor in 4 weeks. He said we will probably do an ultrasound at 16 weeks, I am guessing they will have a more accurate due date by then. I am trying not to be too excited- 6 weeks is not very far along, but I figure of if I try not to be too excited by reminding myself how easily I could miscarry in the first trimester, I will only make things worse. Now I am just excited to know that I am pregnant! And I am hoping things work out best : D

Being pregnant kind of sucks though. I have not had bad morning sickness yet- although I have a pretty tough stomach, I hardly ever through up normally. I am a little sick to my stomach in the mornings, and I have been crying almost every day over the stupidest things, and I am just uncomfortable. Not to mention I am so so tired! I have been sleeping 8 hours give or take every night, but I am always so exhausted! I pretty much had a temper tantrum last night from being so tired. It's terrible, I feel like a giant four year old.

But I am excited, I am off work for the next 4 days- Mike and I are celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary on Tuesday. We have pretty much decided we are going to Austin tomorrow to stay with Mike's mom. So I am looking forward to that- a nice break from work, to spend time with my honey and recoup from my exhausting week.

Audrey gave you some excellent pregnancy advice on facebook, especially about eating every two to three hours--that saved me! And the first trimester really is the worst, so just stick with it--it WILL get better! And congrats on your 3 year anniversary! I hope you guys have a great time in Austin! Love, Jenny
