Well I guess the cats out of the bag. I'm pregnant! I'm currently 11 weeks along and have been feeling great. Well there have been a few mishaps, but nothing compared to the morning sickness I had last time. The only "side effect" I've had is that I am so tired and get light headed after I eat. I have also been eating pickles like crazy. I don't know why, I like pickles, but hardly ate them until now when I ate a whole jar in one day a couple weeks ago, I just couldn't help it. So the next day I come home from work with a huge jar of pickles sitting on the kitchen table (the kind you get at Costco) courtesy of Brad.
We found out our wonderful news on our 4th of July trip to Vegas. We waited to tell our families until I was 8 weeks pregnant and just to let you know my family actually believed me this time when I told them (if you read my previous post about my first pregnancy you'll understand) and they were so excited, well I take that back they were a little mad that I waited so long to tell them.
Brad and I went to my first doctors appointment on August 8 and I have to admit I was so nervous. I was worried that I was going to hear the same thing I heard last time. That the baby wasn't alive. I was so happy to see that the doctor was going to do an ultrasound on my first visit and Brad and I were so excited to see our little baby with a heartbeat. It was such a relief and such a wonderful experience to see our baby for the first time. Our doctor took measurements of the baby and concluded that my official due date is March 11, 2009. In the ultrasound picture our baby looks like a lima bean, but we're hopeful that it will continue growing to look more baby like. We are so excited and I couldn't wait to show the picture to our family and friends.
