Doctor Frustrations!

I know doctors have families, I know they have lives and are people too, and I know things happen... but why do they have to happen to MY doctor right before MY FIRST appointment?!?! I got a call today saying that my appointment for tomorrow is canceled, which means the second appointment which is to be next week is also canceled! :( Now, the first time I can get in is on April 1st for the "meet and greet" and April 13th for the first real appointment. I had hoped for a Spring Break appointment so I wouldn't have to take any extra time off of work and could save my sick time, but my doctor will be out of town that week as well! UGH!! Guess all I can do is wait...

On a good note, I'm feeling a little better now. Still exhausted and fatigued, but at least not as sick feeling anymore. At least, not all the time.

Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired!

I have been SO tired lately that I just haven't been able to post anything. Tired, and sick. I haven't yet actually thrown up, but I feel very nauseous all the time, mostly at night. I've tried taking my prenatals (from GNC), in the morning, at night, with food, without food, and any other way I can think of seeing if it helps. So far, the best is right before I go to bed after having eaten a little something.

I'm also trying to nibble all day long and not let my stomach get too hungry, because that is when it seems the worst. I have a box of Goldfish crackers and a thing of peanuts in my desk at school to help with that. Hopefully this part goes away soon.

Chris knows!

I just couldn't keep it any longer! I was too excited and Chris is too good of a guesser (and I'm not a good liar!), so he knows! He is still in VA but he is even more excited to come home now that he knows we are expecting!

He knew that I had a surprise for him, but didn't know what it was. When he mentioned that he would be leaving again for 2 weeks soon after coming home from VA, I let it slip that he needed to be home on the 25th. He first guessed it was a concert or a play or something. Promising to tell him if he got it right, he made a few more guesses before he finally got quiet and asked, "Are you pregnant?" When I said, "YES!" he almost didn't believe me! :)

He's very excited but also very practical. He's already got a mental list going of everything that needs to be done before the baby comes.

It's still sinking in

I made an appointment with the doctor today. Unfortunately, I can't get in for another month! March 25th is the first appointment,which is more of a "meet and greet." The second appointment is March 30. I can't believe I have to wait that long to see the doctor and make sure everything is OK! I'm too excited to wait!!

Just to be sure, I stopped and got another test today, different brand and lot. Yep... still pregnant HAHA :)

PREGNANT!

I found out that I am pregnant today.

I think I'm still in shock, but it's a WONDERFUL type of shock! I'm so thrilled and excited, yet nervous and a tad bit scared to death!

I was on the phone with Chris (who is in Virginia at a school for the Navy right now) when I actually took the home pregnancy test. I was so excited to see "pregnant" that I almost screamed! However, the more practical side of me decided to wait, to take another test to be sure, and wait until Chris comes home and tell him face to face. However, as soon as I got off the phone with him, I called my sister, Amy, who is also pregnant. We squealed and cried together and immediately began planning on how to tell Chris.

I'm still on cloud nine and need to let this exciting news sink in.
