It's Official!

We had the 1st doctor's appointment yesterday. I met with nurse Deanna beforehand, where she gave me the thumbs up that I am definitely pregnant. Then, she went to get Adam from the waiting room so he could meet Dr. Marcantel and the office staff as well.

Dr. Marcantel is GREAT! Not only does he make you feel comfortable, he is also down to earth and fun! (Adam was leary about having a male doctor, but even he admits that we made a good choice). Anyways, Dr. decided that he'll do the 1st ultrasound to hear the heartbeat next visit. They do about 4 of them during the 40 weeks---they are the 3D kind, which I think is pretty cool. When Adam left the examination room, he walked past the nurses station (where they were all grinning ear to ear) and let out a big WooHoo! Made them all laugh! Gee, he's not excited....

Afterwards, we HAD to celebrate, so we went to the Macaroni Grill. Yummy! We are pretty giddy and excited...can't wait to share the news with family and friends!

The 1st signs....

We haven't been to the doctor yet, but I know that I'm just about entering my 5th week. Everything is good, although we're anxious to see Dr. Mercantel over at Celebration Hospital.

Peeing....yeah...not so fun...and I know it doesn't get any better. Super hard to do when you are in the middle of teaching. Also, I've found that 3:15 naptime is extremely nice. Need sleepy... Of course, my tiredness is also due to chasing around 170 pleasant little hormonal 6th graders....

Liars...

Well, it's been a grand total of 5 days since we found out...we're, ok, I'm having a really hard time keeping my mouth shut until we go to the doctor next Monday. It's extremely hard when you talk to mom and mother-in-law...they ask "What's new?" and you respond with, "not much." Such liars we are!
I was reading that husbands don't truly believe that their wife is pregnant until they hear it from a doctor...that must be true, 'cuz Adam keeps asking me, "Are you sure?" and, "Do you FEEL pregnant?" I keep saying, "I THINK I'm sure, but I don't really FEEL pregnant...don't really know what that feels like, yet."

The BIG Decisions in Life

Well, after Adam turned the big 3-0, we decided that the time was right to start a family. So, May, June and July went by....no dice....or so we thought. Anyways, last night I just wasn't feeling quite right. Not bad, just not right. So....I took THE TEST....and received a line, so faint I could barely see it. Well, I'm impatient...might have taken the test too early. SOOO, I go to Target and get a different test. I had every intention of taking it in a few days but since it came in a pack of 3, I decided to give it a go later on in the evening. This one was definitely a plus sign! Wow! Well, it was just a coincidence that I have an appt. with the doctor on Aug. 29, so I guess it will be confirmed.
We're both pretty excited....nothing has really sunk in yet....I'm sure that the rest of the emotions will be following soon!
