Miscellaneous Info...
Ok, so I was just yelled at by my brother because I haven't posted anything in a while...but there's really nothing new to post. Unless you want to hear about my bloating, back aches, lack of sleep and gas...not much to say yet. Lol!
On Easter, my Aunt Lorrie returned the cradle that I used as a baby that she borrowed for her 5 kids (the youngest is a teenager now I believe, ha!) so I can possibly use it for our baby! That was very cool! It's not in bad condition either! Have to buy a new mattress for it, but I expected that.
I have ordered something called Angel Sounds off of eBay and am hoping to receive it any day now. It is like a generic doppler I guess, similar to the Bebe Sounds they sell at Babies 'r' Us or Target, but you can supposedly use it as early as 10-12 weeks rather than waiting for the third trimester. It's coming from Hong Kong so the expected ship wait was 7-12 business days (today is day 8). I can't wait to receive it and search for my baby's heartbeat! I'm hoping to use this as kind of a bonding tool to get to know my baby a little better.
I have also ordered a Back 'n' Belly pillow that has received great reviews on Target and Babies 'r' Us' websites. I guess it's better than the original Snoogle (?) and the Boppy version. I'm really hoping that this will help me sleep better throughout the night, for a while at least. :)
Well I'll keep you posted and let you know when I recieve my new toys and how they work. Next appointment is in 11 1/2 days! We can't wait! I'll try to post some belly photos soon. :)

The Heartbeat!
So what an amazing day it has been already! Today Todd and I went for our second doctor's appointment and we were able to hear the heartbeat!!! It was sooo Awesome!! And yes, of course I cried. :) Well, I didn't bawl or anything, but was definitely teary eyed. Todd was amazed as well. I think we are both walking on cloud 9 today!

What's New?
Ok, so it's been a while, sorry, still getting used to this. In the meantime I've been checking out some cool pg sites and talking to other pg women which is really nice! It really helps talking to other women that are going thru the same things as you are. It's also nice because not everyone has the same symptoms and on the one website you kinda just post your feeling and ask questions and if anyone else feels the same way they send you a message.
I've also been doing some shopping...I bought a pair of brown flats, ordered black ones (they didn't have my size in the store), bought some non-maternity, "babydoll" type blouses (to get me thru this awkward stage), one more pair of stretchy pants from NY & Co (even tho I'm boycotting them) and a "tummy sleeve"! Oh! And another book...."The Grlfirend's Guide to Pregnancy".
I'm wearing the brown flats now and have already worn 4 of the 6 new items of clothing I've bought, not including the tummy sleeve. I may need to wear it later this week, but we'll see.
I had a dream last night that I had a bump and I was so excited! I actually had to check my tummy when I woke up! Ha! You see, yesterday my aunts came over to my mom's for Easter and I think they all came to me to check my bump (that I don't have yet) and were disappointed that there wasn't anything to see. So, I think that fueled my dream. It was so wierd because it was so hard and it actually had the texture of a basketball! Lol! Pretty funny, huh (kinda gross too)?
That's really all that's been going on... I did post another baby name poll that you can vote on if you'd like andwe have our next appt this Thursday! I'm sooooooo excited!!!!!! I'm hoping they'll do another u/s since the first one was done so early and we only got to see a blinking dot!

The First Appointment!
So after three tests, I took one more at week 5. I needed to see the word 'Pregnant' in order to believe it. So, I asked Todd to stop on his way home from work and pick up a digital test. I took the fourth test the next morning, on Saturday and again....surprise! It was positive! But this time it said Pregnant, it wasn't just a faint blue or pink line. Wow! I'm really pregnant!
So our first appointment was this past Monday. I chose a dr. who's office is right around the corner from our home so it's very convenient! He seemed nice as did the girls in the brand new, clean (very important :)) office. He just kept saying, "You're really early!", like he was surprised...I told them I was only six weeks. Did he think I was wrong? Ha!
So here's out first baby pic...can you see him/her? It's the little dot off to the far right inside the black bean looking shape. :) We didn't get to hear the heartbeat, but we saw it. The dr. pointed out how the dot seemed to be blinking..."that's the heartbeat" he said. Wow! I could almost cry just thinking about it again.
Our next appointment is March 27th, but check back, I have a feeling there may be a few posts between now and then (I need to complain to someone!).

And so it Begins!
I took my first test on Friday am, the second Saturday am and a third on Sunday...all positive! We still don't believe it but my husband and are are pretty excited! You see, I'm 33 yrs old and a bit of a worrier and was sure that either I wouldn't be able to conceive (like all women) or that it would take us a while to get pg...boy was I wrong! My new nickname for my hubby is "One Shot"! Ha!
We talked about starting to try in August, but I wanted to go off the pill now, for a few reasons. One being that I've been on it a while and the other cuz of my thyroid. My period was getting lighter and lighter (I know, who would complain, right?) and even tho I'm not a dr. this made me think something was wrong. So I went off in Dec. and I got my first normal period in years in Jan. No worries, everything is just fine and in working order. Wow! I totally forgot how awful they are (TG I won't have one for a while now!)! Along with the regular flow came the horrible cramps! My whole weekend was shot! While rolling around in bed all the wonderful memories of when I was not on the pill came flooding back.
Anyways...so Todd and I thought it would be fun to try. We figured it would prob take us at least a few months and who gets pregnant on the first try...right? WRONG and WRONG again!
I started feeling really hungry like a week or so later and then my belly started making all kinds of weird noises and was getting really gassy! I felt like I would explode if someone poked me with a pin! After 3 weeks I took a test and it came up negative. Ok, so I was just really hungry and gassy, right? WRONG again! I waited exactly one week and took another one before work...this was the first of four.
