We got up the guts and took a positive test June 13th! Kevin has been away on an internship in Nevada for most of the summer so we were waiting to find out until we could be together for a weekend in Salt Lake City.
In all honesty I knew at least a week before simply from symptoms - fatigue, sore back, sore feet, and a very sore chest! (Remember I'm writing this for my memory mostly, so if you're afraid of details, you've been warned!)
I told work as soon as I was suspicious to be able to avoid exposure to radiation and anesthetic gasses. As soon as we knew for sure we rushed to a children's clothing store and bought an adorable "Sister of the year" shirt to let Nora tell the family! We met Mike and Jenny at the Hogle Zoo with Nora and showed them first. Then later that night we video chatted with most of the family and waited until they noticed the hint ... most of them took a few minutes and weren't sure if it even meant what they thought! It was so great!
As of today Kevin and I as well as our moms are betting on a boy this time.
I just can't wait for my first appointment (July 17th - and Kevin will be here too!) or first movements and all those little things that make it seem more and more real ... and will help with my anxiety about the little one. Isn't it crazy that this one is already upping my anxiety?? It's gotta be a boy right?? haha
AS OF TODAY
Far along: 6 weeks, 3 days
Baby size: Maine blueberry ... apparently different from a regular blueberry ... also the size of a sweet pea.
Symptoms: I want to take at least four naps a day, and this past week I've stared feeling nauseous!
Cravings: No real cravings except salty things.
Belly & body: I have yet to take a belly picture :( ... we'll get there though! I can't tell if I see belly showing yet or if it's in my head, or it's just food ;), but I'm so excited either way! I'm around 135 lbs starting, and of course still fitting into my clothes (be nice! I'm trusting you!) so we'll see where we go from there!
Here are some pictures of our little Bug in her famous t-shirt! (and general pics of that awesome weekend!)
