Confirmation from the baby pros!

Yesterday Trav and I went to our 1st pregnancy appointment! They called it the "1st Nurse Visit". I was really nervous and scared because I didn't know what to expect; I thought I was getting a total exam of everything. All that happened was I peed in a cup and a nurse used their special pee stick to test my urine and confirmed that we were pregnant!

*A big sigh of relief* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

I figured I was, but it's so much better to hear it from a professional! So after that she asked a lot of questions and such about our family history, and then that was it!... wait a second... we've been waiting 4 weeks for another pee test?! Kind of a bummer. We thought we would atleast hear the heartbeat.

Our official Dr's appointment with the OBGYN is 10/15/09. That's when we'll get to hear the heartbeat.

We are sooo excited and happy. I feel like I can't get enough of reading parenting stuff and watching Super Nanny! hahaha

Trav is so excited too. This morning before he left for work he gave me a kiss on my cheek while I was sleeping and then I felt him kiss my belly and say bye baby. :) Awwww! It was awesome.

We're just blissfully happy and feel so blessed right now. It's an amazing thing :)

Blah

Today is definitely a blah day. It's rainy weather, but not actually raining. I don't feel pregnant today. I feel constipated and bloated. I wish you got a big preggo stomach right away, because I feel fat right now. Very gross.

On a better note, I'm 6 weeks and 1 day pregnant! :) I feel like that is such a long time! It's crazy to think that the end of my 1st trimester will be at the end of next month! Wow!!

I'm very anxious for the Dr.'s appointment 1 week from Wednesday!!! I'm hoping to get some confirmation and support out of it. Right now I feel like I'm on my own being pregnant. It's weird and hard to explain.

Stick Baby, Stick!

I feel really nervous now that people know. I mean I still haven't been to a Dr. to confirm it! I pray that everything will work out perfect and we'll have a healthy baby. Everyone tells me I shouldn't worry but I just can't help it!

In my pregnancy journal it stated that either yesterday or today the baby's heart would start beating! That's so amazing to think that!! Last night, when I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep on my back, I could have SWORN I could feel a heart beat in my lower stomach. I know it could have been mine but it didn't seem like mine! Can you really feel it??

My only signs of pregnancy is my drastic breast increase, odd & disgusting gas, and sometimes I feel light cramps, but I haven't gotten my A.F. since July 31st.

I'll pray every day for a healthy baby. :)

I'm horrible with secrets!

So today I had to meet up with Travis for lunch. I wanted to talk to him about possibly telling people earlier that we were pregnant. He thought it was a great idea because has already wanted to tell people. :)

So I came home from lunch and called my mom who is ecstatic & told 4 people right away. Then I called my dad and grandma veda. They are all shocked and very happy for us.

Tomorrow is Trav's parent's 27th wedding anniversary, they're coming over for dinner and we'll break the news to them then. I'm so excited to tell them!

I also signed up for the Healthy Pregnancy Program(HPP) today. Which my work suggests that you should do in your 1st trimester; this way I'll have a number to call a nurse at any time during the day/night and supposedly I'll get more of a discount!!

In my books it says that our baby is no bigger than an apple seed! How precious! Thank you God for this amazing blessing! We are sooo grateful!

The HPT says + !!

Travis now belives we're pregnant! Late Friday the 28th I took a different test (a + & - one) and it definitely came out +. He smiled huge and said he definitely believes it now. We're very happy!

We've started trying to figure out when to tell people. I think we're going to wait til after the first appointment Sept. 23rd to tell our parents and then after the October 15th appointment or a little later to tell everyone else.

I read a lot of horror stories about how easy it is to miscarry right now and it would be dreadful to have to tell everyone that if we splurged and told them all now.

So I'll keep this posted for my own sanity! :)
