My first appointment

Our first appointment was November 30. We went to my OB to get confirmation of the pregnancy. I had to pee on another stick and it came back positive and the doctor calculated that I'm almost 6 weeks along! I have to come back in 2 weeks to get a sonogram and get my blood drawn (yuck!). I can't wait for that visit and to see my little one! :) 

Matt and I are so excited and couldn't wait to tell our parents! For his parents, this will be the first grandbaby and for my parents it will be their 7th! I haven't yet told my siblings, but I'm hoping to talk to all of them today. At least one of them will be able to see me when I'm pregnant, but I think it would be so cool if they could ALL come to see the baby after its born. We're obviously not telling everyone yet, just family and close friends, but it's kind of funny to have this secret that my coworkers don't know about. I'm excited to tell everyone, but at the same time I like having this secret. :) 

I've been feeling pretty good so far with no major symptoms. I did have a small bout of nausea the other morning at work. I discovered that I can't eat or even smell anything sweet early in the morning. :P So, I guess I'm going to have to figure out something I can eat for breakfast since cereal, muffins, etc are out. I have been reading in my "Eating Well While You're Pregnant" book that ginger helps with nausea and they have a recipe for Ginger and Carrot Muffins, so I might try those.

Matt and I have also been discussing baby names. I know, I know...it's early, but I think we're going to have to talk about it through the whole pregnancy. Matt doesn't seem to like any of the boy names I like! ha, ha! :) I have a feeling its going to be a boy so I'd like to have something on the table. So, we were talking about it last night and I think Luke might be on the table. Just Luke, not Lucas. I think that's a really cute name and even Matt said it was better than most of the other names I came up with. As for a girl's name, I really like Keri Suzanne. Keri is a combination of my two older sisters names (Kelly and Erin) and then Suzanne is for my younger sister. We're just throwing some ideas around for right now. :)


This is going to be such an amazing adventure and another exciting chapter in our lives and we are thrilled! :)
