First blog!

So, I have decided to join the "blogging" world thanks to the bundle of joy we are expecting. This gives me the opportunity to share our journey with friends and family during my pregnancy and as we watch our child grow. I will tell you, I have NO IDEA what I am doing yet with this, so bare with me. It will take some time, I'm sure. But, I wanted to get this started now so that I don't forget the things that are already happening!

We found out that I was pregnant while at home on August 9/10th. I felt a little nauseous that day so we decided to take a test. I took more than one and positive they were! A few days later I went to my new OB doctors appt. and got the confirmation. While very exciting, I must admit it's a bit scary as well! That's when you realize life as I have known it for 33 years is about to change. Took me a few days to really process it. But, seemed like we both had permagrin the entire time. Kinda like, "pinch me, is this real?" Most of you know how much I love kids and welcome the thought of being a mother. Aaron was much more excited, immediately, than I expected him to be. That took me by surprise. I figured it might take him a few days to get excited. I wanted to wait until after my appt to tell anyone, including our families, but he was not having that. He wanted to tell our families right away. So we did! And now I'm so glad. His mom and dad were in MN visiting family and friends so it was great timing. They brought us home our first "baby gear"!! A "Little Vikings Fan" bib and a Vikings teether. TOO CUTE!! I also wanted to wait a little while before telling our friends but again Aaron wanted to tell right after my appt!! So we did. LOL.

Overall I am feeling good! Not very much nausea at all so far. Tired yes, but it's usually in the evenings when that sets in. If I am able to sleep well I wake up feeling pretty refreshed and ready to go. I hope this keeps up. We will see...We went to the Dave Matthews concert this weekend in West Palm Beach. Fun but phew...it was a long day. I was sooo tired by the time we got back to the car, I was a little irritable. ;)

I was 4 weeks this past Friday and I'm due 4/23/10. Another April birthday!! I have my first sonogram next week on Wednesday. We are so excited for it. My understanding is this is just so they can see the size of the baby and make sure it equates to my estimated due date. A few weeks later we go back and hear the baby's heart beat for the first time. That is also something I am really looking forward to! I will be posting my sonograms, pics, etc. on here, hopefully I figure out how! Ha!
