We're Pregnant!

Okay, maybe we're not pregnant, but I am! We have a little bean on the way! The baby is about 6 weeks right now.

Honestly, it was a total surprise! I hadn't been feeling well and went to the doctor. I ended up taking a blood test, and I received a wonderful call the next day! The nurse mentioned she had some interesting results, and it showed I was pregnant! I'm still in as much disbelief as I was the day I got the call.

I didn't want to tell Ryan over the phone, so I called him up and asked him to meet me for lunch. I ran out and got an I love Daddy bib, but when I met up with him he was on the phone, so I had to put my announcement on hold. When we finally sat down we were surrounded by people and it still didn't feel like it was the right moment! Unfortunately the setup to how I was going to tell him didn't end up working. He ended up asking me about my tests and I had to spill it then! It was so great watching the reaction on his face. Pure happiness! I wish I had caught that on camera.

So far no morning sickness (knock on wood!). I get tired pretty easily, and I get pretty nauseous when I don't eat very often. I try not to let that happen, since I like stuffing my face. The insomnia has started as well, but I guess that's just preparing me for when the baby comes, right? So far, it's been a great pregnancy.

Our next appointment is on June 18th (my sis' (deepa) birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEEPA!), and we'll get to hear the heartbeat for the first time! Hopefully I'll get a few pics of the ultrasound and I'll post those! I'll post my progression of belly pics. (not for the faint of heart ;) So far there isn't much to see. Just some nice bloating! HOT, right?! )

We haven't told our families just yet. I'm excited to see their reactions. We'll be telling Ry's side of the family around Father's day, and I'll tell my family about two weeks later when I go home to visit. It'll be a nice belated Father's Day and Birthday present for my dad, I hope! I'll let you know about their reaction when it comes around! The funny thing is...when I was back in IL a few weeks ago, I must have worn the wrong shirt because I looked pregnant! I had to point out to my mother that I was indeed just fat and not pregnant. But now that I look back, I was probably about 1 week pregnant. Mother's intuition? (Sorry Mom, I won't let you live that one down)

Thanks for reading our blog and watching the progression of our little Bean!
6weeks:
