"Wait... what?" you are probably saying... yup you just read right.
We're pregnant!!! :D
Right now I am 5 weeks and 6 days, almost 6 weeks! My first doctors visit is on November 17th, where I will get a workup with the OB nurse and some blood work done. Then I have my first visit with my midwife on November 19th. I'm excited and anxious to see if they will order me an ultra sound, by then I will be almost 8 weeks.
As of now my estimated due date is either late June or early July. Which is awesome timing since I will be graduating in May.
So far I've been sick every freaking day. Morning sickness started by 4 weeks, and now at 5 weeks it turned into all day sickness. Which really sucks when you are at school and feel like puking while working on cleaning your patients teeth.
Josh and I are hoping for a little baby girl. I guess we will be happy either way, but it would be nice. We have two names picked out already, Emmalina Sophia and Lucas Gray. I guess we will find out some point in January if it is a boy or girl.
Right now my biggest worries are whether or not I'm going to make it until winter break without vomiting in class. Finding a nicer apartment, preferably a townhouse with a dish washer and washer and dryer.
Part of me is still in disbelief, but its harder now to not acknowledge that its real when you are sick all the time and have no period (which is probably just about the only perk right now about this whole thing). I can't wait to see the ultra sounds and hear the heart beat, and then find out the sex and feel the baby kick. I really want to buy baby stuff, to make it seem even more real but I don't want to buy gender neutral stuff so I guess I will wait.
Another thing that gets me a little worried is not having other people my age to relate to. I think it would be helpful to be friends with others my age who are having a baby around the same time so we can share our experiences and kind of support each other and have play dates with when our babies finally arrive. Maybe it would help so we don't feel so isolated.
Well that is all for now!
