10 Weeks, Baby!

  Well, technically I am not 10 weeks until Friday. . . but I decided that there is no point in putting 9 weeks up when it will be over in 2 days!  Besides, that saves me time!
   No, I have not gone to the doctor's office yet.  We are still waiting on DSHS to send us our coupon/card thingy.  I am getting a little anxious, but I called them today and they said that it should be done next week.  Man, they are SLOW.  Today, I nearly fainted while I was giving my husband a haircut.  I felt nauseous (which isn't too uncommon, so I didn't think about it), then I started sweating and getting light-headed.  Luckily I was nearly done with the haircut, so I just sat down.  Don't worry, I survived!  Apparently this is very common in pregnancies--at least that is what it said in "What to expect when you're expecting."  I love that book!  It has calmed my nerves a few times!
  I have some exciting news (for us anyways)!  Tonight, my wonderful husband and I heard the baby's heartbeat!  It was so incredible!  We used the stethoscope on my blood pressure cuff.

                      
Can you believe that is inside of me?
I am so excited!!!!!

The truth finally comes out. . . I am pregnant!

As of yesterday, my husband and I cannot hold it in any longer!  You know me. . . I can't keep a secret very long!  I am 8.5 weeks along!  I have not been able to see the doctor yet though :(  We are awaiting our medical coupon from DSHS because we are poor and have no insurance!

So far I have been lucky and have not been too sick!  The worst I get is a headache with a slight naseous feeling.  My mother-in-law says, "Well, I hope you get sick, because according to Dr. Oz, that means that you have all the right hormones buildin' up in your body."  I still find myself being just fine with the way I feel!  Oh, the worst so far is that I am SO LAZY.  I never have motivation to do anything, I always have to drag my feet.  Hopefully this will not end all 9 months!

Apparently, this is what my baby should look like right now (8 weeks).

This is all for you Chels!

Well, I finally got a blog. . . even though I told myself and others that I would never get one. Although, I did tell Chels that once I was married I would make one. Now I find myself wondering why I agreed to that proposition! It took me forever just to figure out how to write this post! Also, where is everyone getting the cute backgrounds???? I didn't see ANY. Wow, I am hopeless! :)
