Remember that day, my friends.
I'm not usually one who thinks too much about what's going to happen in the future, but in this case I'm going to.
It's a really important day.
What's happening that day?
Nothing big. It'll be pretty small actually.
But it's important. Probably the most important thing to happen to me.
April 28th, 2006.
The day our baby is supposed to be born.
Yes! I'm pregnant! Knocked up! Having a bun in the oven! With child!
To tell the truth, I've been hiding it from you all since labor day. Dave and I actually waited for the first trimester to tell our family and friends (though we told our immediate family immediately). We wanted to make sure everything was ok until we spread the good news.
But it's been hard not to talk about it, since it's pretty much been ruling my life for these last three months. Though I haven't actually thrown up, I've had "morning sickness", which actually has been afternoon sickness. I'd get nauseous at around 3pm and stay that way until about 7. It wasn't fun! I was also the most tired I'd ever been! I would be tired from morning til night, falling asleep at around 8 or 9 pm many days, way before my usual bedtime of 1 or 2 am. Luckily, I've been able to work from home, so I wasn't annoying my coworkers with my sickness or bugging them about eating food (which I can't get enough of now). When I was at the office, I'd be asking them if they were ready to go out for lunch at around 10am. I'd eat, and 3 hours later my stomach would be growling again!
Of course, we're ecstatic, and the family is so happy. This will be the first grandchild for both of our families, so everyone has been anticipating this for a long time. My cousin just had a baby, and another friend of mine is just about to have a baby, so our baby will have many people to play with.
So, just to let you know, many of the posts you'll see here in the next 6 or so months will be pregnancy-related, because let me tell ya, there's SO much to talk/complain about. I haven't been posting here as much lately is because I've been so tired that I've hardly even been surfing the web (I know, THAT'S a surprise!)
Hopefully now that I'm in my second trimester, I'll have more energy and won't feel as pukey.
Now I have to get one of those baby countdown things for the top of my blog!
I'm gonna be a mommy!!!
Yay! Congrats Mama E!

Posted by: noelle on October 24, 2005 11:51 AMP.S. I have a request. How about posting monrhly profile shots of you standing sideways so we can see how your belly grows? For those of us that don't get to see you in person that would be fun. :)

I'd suggest you wait to have it on my birthday, but then you'd be pregnant through most of next summer, and I would guess you don't want to do that.

I'm so happy for you and Dave. This baby will replace some of the sadness with joy, and start a new chapter for your family. It is truly a blessing.
And I'm with Noelle. I vote for a pregnancy pictorial. :)
