Doctor's Appointment

So I went to the doctor today and I'm very excited because I got to hear Baby's heartbeat! It was pretty cool. I didn't cry or anything (people keep asking if i did) but for a split second I felt like I might. I still think it hasn't completely hit me yet. I was bummed that I didn't have Jake come with me but I wasn't sure what all was going to be done at the appointment. My first ultrasound is scheduled for February 15th so Jake will come with me then for sure! But other than hearing the heartbeat the rest of the visit was pretty uneventful. My blood work came back good and I had a few random questions for the doctor. I just can't wait to actually SEE this baby!

Hormonal Cry Session

So I had my first hormonal cry session today. I woke up feeling sick to my stomach so I ate some toast and fruit which helped me to feel a little less queezy. So I started getting ready for church but began to feel sick again so I called Jake to have him pick me up some 7-Up after his morning band practice at church. I sat on the couch after he got home, drinking my 7-Up, feeling a little better again, talking about baby names when it just hit me. I got upset because I realized that today is Sunday and I don't want to work tomorrow and then I got more upset because I decided that I don't want to work ever again (and unfortunately I have to) and i just started crying. Lucky for me that Jake has always been good at consoling me when I'm upset. He just let me cry it all out then told me I should probably take the day off from church. So that's what I'm doing. :) And I think I feel a migraine coming on. Which is just lovely. What a day... and I've only been up for 4 hours...

New to this blog thing...

Well... I'm starting this blog for my best buddy Mel, and for my sis-in-law, Krystal, (both live not in fresno) because I know they will be wanting to know ALL the pregnancy details. :) But I've never done this blog stuff before so hopefully as I do it more often I will get better at it. So my husband Jake and I found out I was pregnant on December 27th. We had been trying for a few months and then decided in November sometime that we would wait a few more years. So I was actually surprised when the preg. test came out positive. I had my first doctor's appointment on December 31st, which went well. They just repeated the preg. test and did a pap (ugh), and I have to get some blood work done before my next appointment on the 28th of this month. Hopefully I will get to hear the baby's heartbeat on my next visit! I haven't had any terrible pregnancy symptoms yet... just a few stomach aches and some food aversions (I think that's what they're called). No pizza and no Mexican food! Yuck! Being pregnant feels a little unreal at this point, but we're excited (and definitely blessed) and our family and friends are too.
