Drum Roll Please!!!!!  I’m pregnant. 

5 weeks along as of yesterday and what will seem to be an eternity to go….  We found out Sunday, April 30th via a home pregnancy test and had it confirmed by my doctor on Thursday, May 4th.  I will have my first OB appt. on May 25th which it is during that appointment that I expect to have a sonogram and bloodwork. I will also find out if I have one or two babies.  Two is always a possibility.  Joel has at least 7 sets of twins in his family and even though they say that twins go through the mother’s side, there are just too many for me not to consider it a possibility. 

Saturday we went price shopping for baby items. How fun and yet very discouraging.  The prices of things have amazed us both.  I should be inheriting a good bit from my sister though so I know that will help.  I know I will have a shower here at work as they are already planning for it.  My Bible Study will probably have one for me as well as they have for the other ladies in the past.  So maybe I won’t have to worry about much of it myself.  We did pick out nursery fabrics for the most part of which I’m so excited about.  The nursery will take over what is now the office so one computer will be sold and the fouton will go into storage or be sold as well. 

I’ve been slightly sick since week 2 but it hasn’t been anything that has me running to the restroom.  At this point I don’t wake up sick.  It only happens when I don’t eat consistent enough.  My clothes haven’t changed much yet but I am finding I want clothes that do fit a little bit more loose.  Not many cravings have come my way.  I have wanted Mexican quite a bit but I have not been to the point where “I HAVE to have it.” 

So there you have my big news. My family should be pleased that I spilled the beans.  We’ll keep you posted.
