Finding out...

The whole baby story begins on a rainy Thursday night. We had just gotten home from an amazing vacation in DC, where I was sure that I was coming down with a bug, but I wasn't going to let that ruin the vacation.

On Wednesday the time we landed in Boston, I was tired and grumpy and couldn't shake it for some reason. My "get a rental car at the airport" plan fell through which put me in a worse mood.

That Thursday, I returned back to work a tired woman. We picked up my rental car after work and I went to go pick up something for dinner at the food store. While I was there I picked up a test, just in case, but I honestly was not expecting a positive. When I got home I went into the bathroom and took it, and I watched one line appear.... and then another. I was giddy and I called to Mr. and told him. We must have spent the next half hour looking at the test, and hugging each other. It was October 14, 3 days before our one year anniversary.

The next day, I called my doctor after another positive test in the morning, and they didn't even need to see me. They congratulated me and we set up my first appointment. They estimated me about 6 weeks pregnant with a due date of June 9, 2011. We started talking about telling the parents around Thanksgiving.... but we wouldn't make it that far.

We were away for our anniversary when I realized that it was tough getting into my pants. I couldn't zipper them up any more. We had to go out and buy maternity pants. It was at that moment I realized my belly was not going to cooperate with the plan of waiting to tell everyone about the baby (who we affectionately refer to as the Monkey). We decided to tell them the next week.

It was so hard not to tell them... with my mom calling every day and stuff, but we made it to the day of. Everyone was really excited, and we spent the day glowing.

Up next: Our first doctor's appointment, ultrasound, and an eventful third month for my first trimester.

Name changes and exciting news

So I have been quiet because I didn't want to spill the beans... but Mr. and I are expecting our first child! So the blog has undergone a name change! Baby Nacho, lovingly referred to as Monkey, is due to arrive in June 2011! Aside from the all day sickness, back aches and exaustion, I am feeling great. More on these developments later!
