5 WEEKS TODAY...

 On to the pregnancy... Hubby and I found out we were expecting this past Monday morning (April 30, 2012). Whoa! Talk about some emotions... FREAK OUT!! I was so excited, nervous, do I cry, what now?, how do I tell hubby. It has to be special right? Well luckily, we were actively trying for a baby and I was already on the search for a special way to surprise him. His birthday was April 23th for the BIG 27!! I ordered his gifts online so getting packages all week wouldn't spark any kind of suspicion. He didn't even figure it out when we received 4 packages in the mail and he only opened three. Sneaky, Sneaky! Anyway, so here is the story...

Alarm went off at 4:30am in the morning. He had to get up to take his mom to the airport to head back to IOWA. I was 3 days late and knew this was the perfect time he wasn't around that I could sneak a test. So I did and it was positive. So I took another.. It was POSITIVE. I already had the plan in place yet I still freaked out like what do I do now? How do I tell him? Ha! I set it all up in the bathroom and here are some pictures...

Of course, he returned home and went straight to bed. UGH. No way can I go back to sleep no matter how early it is. We tossed and turned until I finally just said I can't go back to sleep. We cuddled for a while in bed and FINALLY he headed to the bathroom. SURPRISE!!!!

As a side note: We are HUGE SF Giants fans and well everything he got for his birthday was Giants related so why not carry on the theme. We even took our engagement pics in the SF Giants stadium... Cool huh? That was my way of getting him into the pictures... here's a few..

I am due January 4th, 2013. I got to thinking I wasn't sure how I felt about baby O being born in an odd year. Weird, I know. But... I was a born in odd month, on odd day, in an odd year. So that made me feel better. Silly me but true!

So to start documenting here goes.. Most of what I will be documenting is not on this list as not much has changed yet.

First, a pre-pregnancy look at my belly. Let's be honest...I've got no six pack but here goes...

How Far Along: 5 weeks
Sleep: Sleeping GREAT!
Best Moment this Week:Finding out we were PREGNANT, of course
Miss Anything: not yet, although I'm trying to limit my sweet tea intake.
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick: Not yet!
Symptoms: Left butt/hip hurts
Mood: Good mood, although I've been tired the past couple of days probably more because of finals and work but nonetheless... tired!
Next Appointment: Our first appointment is on May 25 and we will have a doctor visit and ultrasound. Oh MAN! I can't wait! I hope it flies by.

That's all for now,
MaMa O
