News--What else do I call it?!?!


It all started 2 months ago!!  

We were definitely going to wait another year before even thinking about getting pregnant but we are as overjoyed as we could ever be!!!!  With all the excitement of family and friends visiting, It didn't even cross my mind that I could be pregnant!  However, 2 weeks ago I took a test just to be sure, and it came out positive, then another positive, and another!!  

After that, it was nothing but nausea all day, every day!!  I don't know how many of you know that I do lunch duty at my job.  Just picture it, the smells, the sights, of 175 kindergartners eating lunch...I can't even type it without getting grossed out!!

Today was my first doctors appointment.  I'm so glad that Ian went with me, it made me much less nervous and much more excited!!  After our hour long wait in the waiting room, we were let into our room.  She did her usual 'tests.'  She felt the baby and confirmed that there was only 1!!  :::PHEW::: because we had told her that twins run in our family.  I said something like "Too bad I don't get to do anything fun today like see the baby or hear a heartbeat!" And she said she would have to schedule me another appointment for an ultrasound because we weren't positive when we conceived.

Well, Ian's connections as a teacher save the day!  2 of the doctors at the center we went to have kids at his school, so they pulled some strings and got us in right away!!!  We got to hear the heartbeat and see the little peanut and it was AMAZING!!

So a prescription for nausea and a bunch of pamphlets later and we are home...I'm ready for bed!!!
