Big News!

Well we were going to keep it on the down low until I reached 12 weeks but we never got that far.  I have never been very good at keeping secrets, especially my own.  So now that so many people know, I guess we better just blog it.  So I am 9 weeks pregnant!  Robert and I are very excited.  It was a bit of a surprise since I went off birth control on August 7th and became pregnant 14 days later.  I was expecting it to take longer but I guess everybody is different.  We are hoping for a boy to start off our family but it seems that everyone who finds out I am pregnant thinks I am having a girl.  I guess only time and the ultrasound will tell.  I will be ecstatic no matter what I have, I have always wanted to be a mom and now I will have my chance.  It's really scary to think of how much our life will change when the baby is born but we agreed to wait until we had been married for two years before we started a family and the 2 years is up.

I know that the big question on most women’s minds is: Am I sick?  Well the answer is….. a little.  If I don’t eat little meals throughout the day then I get annoyingly nauseous so I usually keep little snacks with me.  Although, lately it really hasn’t been that bad so maybe I am on the downward slope that leaves nausea behind.  I am at a stage where I am just fat, or at least I feel fat.  My clothes are getting tight but it would be ridiculous for me to wear maternity clothes.  I am in a between stage that just makes me look like I am gaining weight and I probably am but I am trying to eat healthier food since I have to eat more during the day and health food is not always convenient and it’s kind of expensive.  So anyway I am glad everyone can know now, I hate keeping secrets and really if anyone asked me point blank if I was pregnant (which no one would) I would have told them the truth.  Now Robert on the other hand, he has probably lied to a few people, but don’t blame him.  He was only trying to carry out my wishes.  The only reason we kept it from people was just in case I miscarried.  I had heard so many stories from my friends of how they lost their first baby and I got paranoid but whatever happens is what is meant to happen but hopefully I won’t have to blog later about bad news.  So here’s hoping!
