We're Expecting....

So my reasoning for not blogging much lately is due to the title of this post.  I have been EXHAUSTED, meaning in bed by usually 7:30 every night. 

If you look close you can see the very faint line.

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos.  Anyways, Michael and I have known for a while that we were pregnant.  We came home from the Bama game that Sunday (9/25) and I still hadn't started so I decided to take a test not really thinking it would be positive.  On a side note I had some cysts earlier this year and I thought that it may take us a little while to get pregnant.  So Michael was laying on the couch watching football and I kept saying I think I'm pregnant.  (I had been so tired, but it was hard to tell because we drove 10 hours to Tuscaloosa and my sleep pattern was so screwed up, but I really thought it when my mom and I were shopping at the mall in Tuscaloosa and I was sooo tired I couldn't even shop!)  So back to that Sunday, I decided I would take a test just to either confirm yes or to let me know that I'm just a few days late.  When it turned positive I was SO shocked, yes I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I was so scared, excited, nervous, everything.  I came running out and told Michael "OMG your never going to believe it, its positive"  He was soo excited, I will be honest I was still unsure, I didn't know what to think and I couldn't believe it had happened so quick. 

I ended up calling the doctor the next day (Monday 9/26) to see what I needed to do from here, they said I needed to have blood work done.  My Dr. is in Bloomington and I work in Pontiac and had just taken that past Friday off so the last thing I wanted to do was take off time to go to Bloomington to get blood work done.  Luckily they said I could go to the hospital in Pontiac and they would just send the results to my Dr. 

After that I had scheduled our first appointment for October 3, since I would be off for Columbus Day.  Michael went with to the first appointment.  Here is a picture from our 1st Ultrasound.  Again please excuse the blurriness, I'll have to start scanning them at my moms!! The tech said my sac was shaped like a heart, she thought it was cute.  I was still just in shock!! The heartbeat at that appointment was 140 bpm.  The doctor confirmed that my due date was May 29, 2012, which is what I thought after looking online. That is 3 days after my mom and I's Birthday which is May 26. 

We decided after this appointment we would wait till our next one to tell people which would put me just over 11 weeks.  We thought if everything looked good there then we would go ahead and share the news! I have some neat U/S pics from our last appt. that will be another post! I still can't believe I'm pregnant, maybe once my stomach pops out I'll believe it more, even though I already feel HUGE.  :)
