I'm Pregnant!!!!!!

Can you believe it?!?!? I'm pretty sure I'm still in shock myself!!! Mike & I saw the first positive pregnancy test on May 23--his birthday! It was the PERFECT surprise!!! We decided to keep it a secret from most until we had confirmation from the doctor. First thing Monday morning (after taking another positive test, of course) I called the doc and set our appointment for June 11th. I was thinking... Reeealllllly?!? That's soooo far away!!! In the mean time we prayed, screamed, jumped up and down, cried & started reading the millions of books that my BFF gave me 2 years ago. Well the day has come and gone now...

Yesterday we received official word from the doctor that, indeed, we are expecting a sweet baby on January 22, 2011!!! We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the heart beat (176) for the first time! The sonogram lady was so great and gave us lots of pictures on a disc and even printed some out for us too! My overall appointment went GREAT! The doc said everything is on track and I'm officially 8 weeks & 2 days pregnant!

My next appointment is in 3 weeks and we will then be able to HEAR the baby's heartbeat and also ensure that everything is on track. I was prescribed meds that work wonders for my nausea. It got really bad for awhile at the beginning. I was worthless and felt like my whole day was consumed with sickness. But...after taking these meds I feel like 100 bucks!!! I'm definitely feeling more tired but I'm now used to getting an extra hour or two of sleep each night.
I still can't believe how much our lives are going to change...I'm SO ready for this journey and can't wait to see the beautiful creation God has blessed us with!!!
