Countdown continues...

4 days until we can tell my parents.  It's so hard to keep it from them!  We talk every day (well Mom & I do), and I couldn't just stop talking to them for like 4 weeks, lol.  It is annoying when they ask What's new?  And I'm having to hold in the biggest secret of my life.  We get to tell Matt's mom in 3 days.  She will be told first since we can't tell her in person.  We get to Skype with her, and watch as she opens the gift.  Hopefully, it'll be a great reaction.  Matt's really nervous to tell my parents.  Kind of the "Hey, I boink your daughter, and she's pregnant."  (I tell him it's foolish, since we're married and have been trying).  I can't help how he feels though.  This week needs to hurry up already!

Halloween Carnival fun!

We had a blast today, and she was so much fun!  She had her first donut.  (She ate an entire regular sized donut).  Can we say worst babysitter of the year?  At least in her eyes, I'm awesome!  Here are some pics!

 

Getting ready for Halloween

We set up our Cat inflatable a few weekends ago.  I love this, and I love having the decorations out!

All afternoon I carved our pumpkins.  The first one came out "blah."  The second one came out pretty good!  I also put out our tiny pumpkins.  Tomorrow is the Halloween Carnival, and I'll be with Addy.  We've got Halloween plans, and I can't wait for either day!

First Ultrasound!

Today was the BIG DAY.  We got to see our little jelly bean.  He/she is measuring at 6 weeks 2 days.  Meaning our new due date is June 15th.  I had to go in and change our pictures, since I thought we were a week further along.  I plan on having another ultra sound to make sure that little jelly bean is measuring where they are supposed to.  We got to see the heart beat, which was an AMAZING feeling.  I can't believe something is really growing in there.  Squeeee!!!!!!

2 weeks

2 weeks is all that stands between us and sharing our news with our families.  We plan on telling them on the 3rd.  I just confirmed the date with Mom to make sure they had nothing else on their calendar.  I can't believe it's so close!  I can't believe we will be seeing little one in 37 hours.  Wow, that is not far at all.  I'm so excited! 

First appointment

It felt great being told I was pregnant.  Even though I had taken another digital yesterday, just to "make sure."  We went over the paper work, and they did all the blood work.  Because of my history of irregular cycles, they're requesting a dating ultra sound.  It's scheduled for next Monday.  Squeee!!!!!!!!  Hubby & I are so excited to be able to have our first look at Little Gator.  I have a follow up appointment with my doctor in 4 weeks as well.  The next days are going to be so long!!!!

Yesterday was awkward

Yesterday was the 50th Anniversary for Itron.  It was a great celebration and lots of fun.  But it was awkward for me being there.  I'm not really supposed to be on work grounds anymore, so that may be the major reason behind the awkwardness.  I got to see former coworkers which was great.  One of my former bosses barely acknowledged me, which kind of stung.  But I guess she never really liked me to begin with.  The other 2 bosses gave me hugs and said how much they missed me.  I'm glad it's over though, and I don't believe I'll be returning back to the grounds any time soon. 

Today I am pregnant.

Thank you Ginger for this motto.  I will hopefully use this my entire pregnancy.

Today I am pregnant, Today I am happy, Today I am healthy, and Today is all that matters.

I can't help but think....

There are too many good things going on in my life.  When's the ball going to drop?  I learned I am now a Big Sister.  I am working with children again.  And I am Pregnant.  Everything is going great, but how long is it going to last?  I'm used to things dropping out and changing.  I want to feel comfortable and secure, and just enjoy my new happy ride.
