Just the Beginning :)

I have loved the idea of creating a blog to journal my way through the next big section of Tom and I's life. On November 16th I ran to the store and bought a pregnancy test to confirm my suspicions. I had worked the night before and knew that the morning urine (at its most concentrated) was the best for testing. That being said, I decided at about 2am that I would hold it until I got home. I almost didn't make it ;) I took the test and covered the stick until the 2 minutes was up. After 2 minutes I saw the darkest two lines...so I took another one to be sure. It was torture waiting to be able to call Tom and tell him the news. I called and asked if he would mind if we brought someone with us to Thanksgiving. He was confused and asked who. I said, "Well, we're going to have someone tagging along with us for the rest of our lives..."

It was torture to not spill the beans to everyone, especially around Thanksgiving. My sister went with me to the first prenatal appointment on December 7th. The heart rate was 154 (possible a girl????) and everything looked good!

After Tom's graduation, we had a family get-together. We took a picture with both sets of parents. My sister was the photographer and said, "Everybody say 'Lindsey's Pregnant!" It took everyone a minute, but they eventually understood. The next day we packed up and moved into our house. The first thing I did was pick out a baby room.

I haven't felt the best so far, but I'm hanging in there with the help of Zofran! It's week 10 and my clothes are getting a little too tight. I'm using a hair tie on my jeans already! Part of me thinks it's too early for that! I mean, that baby's torso is only 1 inch long! I guess this is only beginning!
