questions and answers

ok so here are some answers to the questions i seem to be getting the most:

how am i feeling?:
well i do have god and bad days, i have switched my prenatals and so far i am less sick, still nauseous at times and i get headaches (but i always got headaches so i am not real sure that is a symptom) i am also using pressure bands (the bands put pressure on a pressure point on my wrist that helps to lesson nausea) that may friend at school gave me. i think the combo of the bands and the new pills has helped lessen the puking, although i still have nausea. i am also very tired and take lots of naps.

are we finding out what it is?:
NO, i have never really wanted to find out so we are going to be surprised in the end unless something crazy happens to change our minds. i always love to find out what everyone else is having though!!

do we have a nickname for the baby?:
nope, we have thrown around a few, but i guess we are just not nickname people. we just call it baby.

do we have a name list?:
yes we have a few names we really like, i will be posting a list later on. we will probably take 2 names for each gender to the delivery and then choose after the baby has been born. so noone will know till then what the final name will be!!!

i think that covers most of them. other random info, i am not showing at all, it is still a little early for that, and because of being so sick i have yet to gain weight, all though my pants are too tight, so figure that out!!!!

Welcome friends and family!!!!

SURPRISE!!!! we are pregnant!!

so here is my blog all about our journey so far. Sorry i could not call you all to tell you the news, but this way you can all keep up on my progress. we are just about 10 weeks along (on tuesday) and so far as you can read in the other post i have been pretty sick. it comes with the territory i guess. i am hoping it will pass soon as we get closer to the second trimester.

this blog is a private blog so you have to be invited by me to read, if i did not invite someone who wants to read it have them email me so i have their email address, and then i can add them.

keep reading for more updates and pictures, i am hoping to put up some pictures soon.

symptoms, symptoms, and more symptoms

ok so here is an update on me...i spend most days, throwing up, sitting around nauseous waiting to throw up or sleeping!! good times, so glad to be in this club right now! all in all i know it could be worse. i am 95% convinced i am reacting mostly to my prenatals, so we changed brands to see if that will help. i start those tonight, so we will see in about 3 to 4 days if i am throwing up again. other then that i pee alot, which if you know me that is a big deal, i have gone in so many public bathrooms now i can't even believe it.

we are still of course very excited...we have gotten our first official baby gift, a cute michigan counting book and sleeper from mama sue. i cried...must be the hormones! i also cried over a turkey sandwich the other day :)

oh and fyi...eggs are worse to throw up then oatmeal, it was so gross...if you want the whole story you will need to ask!

so i guess that sums up everything, we will be back at the doctors on march 10th. can you believe it is almost march...wow!

first ultrasound!!!!

here it is...our first ultrasound!!! we are officially at 7 weeks, (well on tuesday it will be 8). we also got to hear the heart beat which was 154. it was pretty cool, i always thought i would cry but not even close. i think i am just so ready for this. Brandon really seemed to enjoy the ultrasound too, he is very excited. I have now told a few more people and on sunday we will tell brandon's parents. i am sure they will be excited for us!

fyi...it is very hard to throw up oatmeal!!!! i got sick again today,i guess i am going to be nauseuos all week and throw up on the weekends??? i guess we will see as time goes on.

spreading the news

we are slowly telling people our news, although we are not telling the world till later on. brandon wants to wait till we have the baby, i am feeling ok with telling more people now. so we told my parents the other day, i was so sick and just wanted to tell my mom so i did. they were of course so excited to hear the news. my mom said she has been waiting for the phone call, my dad said "oh wow i went from dad to grandpa in the last 2 seconds!" i had to make sure they knew not to tell anyone else. we will be sending a frame to my sister after our appt. on thursday. As for brandon's family, after dinner on sunday when i was so sick i could hardly eat both kelsey and his mom asked if we were pregnant. Brandon wasn't ready to tell so we said no, but i am sure we will tell them soon, we just want to able to tell them in person since we don't have that option with my side of the family. brandon really needs this appt. on thursday to calm him down. so far i think about 7 people give or take a 1 or 2 know for sure, although i am bursting at the seams especially since i have been not feeling well. I have a class party tomorrow and if it goes like today all the parents will think i have the flu and at school, or they will figure me out. we will see how it goes.

ok more update after the appt. on thursday.
i think i will start to post more info after that too when i have a better idea of how far along i really am. i am kinda excited!!!

Let the fun begin!

well this past week was fun, i started getting nauseous and today the puke was flying!!! Woo hoo, a symptom, ok that was enough of a symptom i can now say "I am pregnant." and the symptoms can stop. I have been nauseous all day every day...yuck! Today was by far the worst so far, we will see what tomorrow brings.
