Here's to the Next 8.5 Months

Well, it finally happened! I'm officially prego! Matt and I were trying for a while, then we took some time off. And what do you know? It happens during the time off! I guess not stressing about it really helps! I feel so blessed right now! I'm only a little over 5 weeks, so it is still really early in the pregnancy! I went to the medical clinic on base on Monday and they drew my blood just to make sure. We got the results back yesterday, and they were positive! So my HPT worked correctly! I went today to get more blood work done, but because of the long weekend with it being Christmas, they couldn't draw anymore blood. So I'll go back Monday and start my lab work. I also picked up prenatals prescribed by the doc, instead of my regular ones. So things are starting to get rolling! If my timing is correct, I won't have my first actual doctor appt. until I'm 10-12 weeks, which will be in January sometime! I'm already experiencing first hand the symptoms of pregnancy. I've been sick almost every morning and sometimes through out the day. I keep crackers and water with me at all times; it really does help! 

My estimated due date is August 23, 2011! We are both so totally excited and pumped! And we're still getting over the initial shock of actually seeing "Pregnant" on the pee stick, instead of "Not Pregnant". We went and looked at baby stuff and Matt is being soooo stinking cute! He is going to be a great father! We need prayers that our baby will grow to be strong and healthy and we won't have any complications. So if you are reading this, keep us in your prayers! :) And here's to the next 8.5 months!
