It's true!

Well, we're pregnant! After a week of telling all our family and friends, I kind of feel numb today. I've been so excited about sharing the news, that after a long week of being ridiculously excited and happy, I feel like I have no emotions left. Kind of sad. Also, I'm crazy tired, which is to be expected.

Here are the stats. We're due October 24th, so right now I am just over 11 weeks along. I'm almost to the second trimester! That's kind of huge. I have had a type of "morning sickness", but no actual throwing up yet. Around week 6 I was incredibly nauseous, and it got worse when I got hungry, so I had to eat, but I felt sick so I didn't want to eat, but I needed to eat because I felt sick....it was a crazy feeling. It's started to get much better these last two weeks, and I am thankful for that.

Daniel is pretty stinking excited, but like me, he is drained after this weekend. We have been tossing around some ideas for names, but nothing has been decided just yet. I assume we will tell everyone our choice of name when we find out what we're having, which should be in about 9 weeks or so. We still have time.

It feels really strange to talk about it openly now. We've kept it a secret for so long that it started to feel like it was keeping the baby "safe", and now I have been nervous that now that everyone knows something might happen.....I know, it sounds weird and I can't really explain it. I'm a weird person and I am also a worrier. Just pray that everything is going smoothly AND that I will stop worrying! I have been dreaming a lot about this baby and everything that goes with it! I need sleep!

Speaking of dreaming, I have had some weird dreams so far, and one of them is pretty funny. I dreamed that we had the baby, it was a boy, and 2 weeks later we decided to go out to eat. Well, Daniel takes the kid and sits him up on the table like he's 3 years old or something...and the baby slowly falls over! I grabbed him and said "Daniel, stop that! He can't even sit up on his own. He doesn't need to be on the table" and Daniel kept grabbing him from me and put him on the table again! Over and over, it was like a cartoon or something. Really weird.

My first appointment is Thursday, so we will see what all that involves! We are so excited and this is by far the biggest thing to ever happen to us.
