Guess who's going to have a baby?!

Karl and I are proud to announce that we are Pregnant with our first child! It has proven an interesting adventure thus far and it has only been 8 weeks.

Lessons learned:

Pregnancy tests... if a dominant line and then a really really faint line shows up you could most likely be pregnant.

Saltine crackers really are a pregnant girls best friend.. tried others and too buttery; don't settle well

Ginger Ale supposedly settles stomachs.. not mine!

Ginger root boiled in water also supposed to settle stomachs.. again it had the opposite effect

Little things about me that have changed...

I am a stomach side sleeper and have learned it is possible to sleep on my back to prevent the nausea that comes from being on my side and stomach.. i miss my tummy sleeping!!

Going to the bathroom at 2 am and 5 am has become a common occurence

Eating every 3 hours is a must!

Eating too much is now a possibility.. before I could eat eat eat..

Brushing teeth is a daring gag challenge

Our baby is soo little and yet is already making a pretty big difference in our life. Pregnancy isn't quite what I thought it would be. But the thing that keeps me feeling like it's not just the flu but an actual baby growing is reading a pregnancy book that walks me through what is going on with our baby each week, that helps me focus on the miracle that it truly is!
