Vomiting, Headaches and Tiredness...Oh My!

So 10 days ago I found out my life is going to change forever... for the better, of course! I am now 8 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing nausea and extreme tiredness. But this week started the headaches and today the actual "morning sickness" kicked in. So far it was just one morning so it is staying with its name, but I am still experiencing nauseousness throughout most of the day, everyday. I am already ready for this part to be over. Now my sense of smell has also kicked in intensely. That can be very horrible at times.  I am also sneezing a lot, not sure if that is related or not to the pregnancy though. Anyone else ever have that? 

So far most of my friends know and pretty much all of my family knows. Of course Jason's family is a whole other situation since he is the biggest procrastinator I know at telling people anything. His sister knows cause I told her and his Aunt Cyndi knows cause I told her too...He needs to tell his grandma and dad. I have been good about not posting it on Facebook yet to try and give him a chance to call his grandma so she doesn't find out from someone other than him first like she found out about the wedding. I am pretty sure he will not tell his dad anytime soon. But I will not wait for that cause I may wait forever! 

I have started getting use to the idea of being pregnant. But it still has not fully sunk in that I am going to be a mom. Just writing that out feels weird. I don't think it has sunk in for Jason yet. But I am at least proud of him for telling some of his friends (unlike the wedding).

Everyone is always asking me if I want a boy or girl...so here is my answer:         

I really want a boy! But I know either way I will be happy with what ever I am blessed with. But deep down I want a boy. 

I am hoping to finally get a doctors appointment this week since my Tricare is finally all figured out. I have to call tomorrow to make sure and then hopefully schedule my appointment. I am hoping they do an ultra sound so I can see my little minion. Yes, I have named the baby "Minion" for now till I find out what he/she is. I just can bare calling it an "it" LOL and the bestie has already nicknamed the baby "Dozer" which I find pretty cute too.   

A Life Changing Event

I have decided to write about the trials and tribulations that are about to take over my life. Thanks to Katie Cronin ( I really enjoy reading about Patrick) and a life altering test result that I received today, I decided to start my own blog. Not just for all of you to read  but for the life my husband and I will be bringing into this world. Yes, its what you think...if you didn't already know...I am pregnant! I got the results from the doctor today. I am 6 weeks along. Our little one will be due on September 8, 2012.

All I have talked about for the last year was being so impatient for Jason to come home so we could start our family and our lives together. So much to my surprise when I saw that there were two lines instead of one when I took the test, I went into shock. My hands were shaking and I could barely stand up. I thought I would have been happier but I guess reality kicked in and my mind went into overdrive of thoughts like...How are we going to afford this? Who is going to watch the baby while we are at work? Where are we going to move to? We need to buy a house sooner rather than later...etc. Its amazing what goes thru your head in a few split seconds. Then I decided that until I heard it from the doctors it just wasn't true. So yesterday I went to the lab and got the test done and today I got the call telling me it was positive. I couldn't be more happy. Of course when I told Jason yesterday that there was a possibility that he was going to be a dad of course I get a total boy response "See I told you it would not take long" Leave it to my husband! But I have to admit I am still in shock and it has not really sunk in just yet.  

As for the signs and symptoms I am having due to this little one growing inside me: I have super duper sensitive breasts. Just barely touching them or even bumping them hurts so bad. I'm not liking that at all but it is not as bad as the nausea I am experiencing. Ritz crackers are becoming my friend. I also have been noticing I have been peeing a little more often than usual. But so far that is not so bad yet. But give it a few more months and I will most likely be blogging about that. My jeans fell a little snug but I think that is all in my head. Stay tuned for that complete and utter melt down on that later...

Tomorrow I have my entire immediate family coming over for dinner (Mom, Dad, Jared, Ross and Braiden) so I can tell them the EXCITING NEWS! Once I tell them then I can tell the world. I am not good at keeping secrets and tomorrow will drag, but I know I can keep my mouth shut for a little while longer. Heck if I can go to Bunco tonight and see my mom and some how manage not to tell her I think I should be able to make it thru work tomorrow, right??? 

OMG I am going to be a Mom!!!
