I am 8 weeks now! It is getting really hard not to tell too many people because I am so excited! I am trying to hold off telling my boss until I am 12 weeks, but what I really want to do is tell everyone in sight. Oh well I might have to tell people sooner than I want to anyway because my pants are getting a little tight! Oh no, good thing I bought some maternity clothes last week. Other than that nothing to new really still working on getting some pics up for you. E bought a new memory card for the camera so we can take a bunch of pictures now.

We are trying to come up with some baby names so we can be somewhat prepared (people always ask us if we have picked names yet) I thought it was still early to be doing that but apparently not. So I think we are going to try and get some ideas going.

Anyway nothing else is really new. I think I will post more once I have told everyone, so sorry about not posting to much

Stuff thats new

Today I bought my first set of maternity clothes! It was so fun to try a bunch on things on and put on there foam belly so I will know what I will look like when I get big. E says I am already starting to show, but only he would notice (I hope so!) so I didn't feel guilty buying clothes at all. After I went to the store with my friend J I came home and E took me and J out for lunch at the cactus club cafe, it was awesome I had been craving there butternut squash ravioli for like a week. I was so satisfying to finally get to eat it.

I have been super tired lately so I have started taking naps during the day. Its been a life saver! I have been working extra hard to train my assistant at work and he is doing wonderfully and because of that E and I get to take a trip to visit my parents for a couple of days! I am so excited to go and stay with them for awhile. E and I haven't spent more that a night there since we got married.

Anyway not much new, E and I finally started taking belly pictures so we can watch squirt grow, I will try and post them soon. I will also be telling my boss that I am pregnant at the end of May and then once that is done I will be posting and putting up pictures way more often!

ps I hopefully will have a doctors appointment with the person who is going to deliver the baby soon I am just waiting for a referral to go through on that. I will keep you posted!

Symptoms ?

So I haven't been having very many symptoms so far, in fact I would almost say I have had none. But that would be a lie, I have had symptoms, very minor but still symptoms. I have had weird food cravings so things like pickled pepperoncini peppers which I never used to like but now can't seem to get enough of them. I get full faster (which I think is totally weird) but I find myself not able to eat as much as I used to in one sitting, I find that I am eating lots of small meals through out the day (which apparently help fight nausea) I guess my body has set up a natural defense when it comes to throwing up. Yay me! I am finding that I am a bit more tired than usual but nothing to crazy I don't feel totally wiped out or anything.  And I am really thirsty, so I have been drinking water like a crazy person! Other than these few things I feel completely fine and normal, I don't even really feel pregnant yet but I am sure that in the next nine months I will began to feel more pregnant.

On another note I finally used my Christmas gift that E bought me (a paint set ) I felt inspired today, by the flowers E got me when we found out that I was Pregnant.

And this is my painting. I really hope E likes it, because I would really like to hang it somewhere. 

  Anyway that is my up date for now. Got to go nature is calling. (oh yeah another symptom I know have to pee all of the time)

Squirt

Hi Everyone!

So E and I are pregnant! Well I'm pregnant but its E's Baby too so he can also be pregnant. E and I only found out a couple of days ago that I was expecting. It was actually great timing because just this last Sunday was Easter Sunday and all of my family was in town so E and I got to tell them in person.

I told my mom first, we were just talking and she was asking me things that were going to happen in the future like the vacation that E and I and planning, but everything was so up in the air now because I am pregnant so I didn't know what to say and I didn't want to lie, so I told my mom I was pregnant. She is excited so that made telling the rest of my family was easier. SO all of my family knows now, my mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, uncle, and brother. I know it still really early to be telling people but I am to excited about it to hold it back.

The Next day we told E's family the good news and they were all excited as well! E parents said they would give us there crib, so I guess that is one thing out of the way. I am trying not to get to far ahead of myself but I really am so excited to be a mom.

E and I went to the doctor and I am now taking prenatal vitamins, the doctor said that I am due  December 7th but that is based on if my cycle was or is 28 days which sometimes it is and sometimes its not, so that date might get pushed back a little bit. But I will keep you posted on that. E and I have decided that we do want to know the sex of the baby so hopefully we will be able to find out. But until then we have decided to call the baby Squirt so we don't call it a he or a she just incase it isn't and say "the Baby" all the time is lame so Squirt is "the baby"

I made a ticker and put it at the top of the blog so you can see for yourself where I am at and how much longer Squirt and I have to go! Anyway thats all I got fro now!
