Week 5

You must bear with me, I am new to this blogging thing and am having a hard time figuring it out. My first blog post was actually May 17th 2013, but I saved it instead of publishing it (ops!). So this is actually May 28th and this is my second blog posting (hopefully it goes better than the first):

I wanted to write every week on Friday (since that's when my weeks end), but I didn't get around to it until today. So I guess this week will have two posts. Anyways, Mike is so excited about the new news, he's pretty much told everyone that he knows that we are having a baby! I am a little more conservative and have only told our families and a few close friends. Everyone's very excited :) I guess that just leaves everyone at my work then, and I don't want to tell them quite yet. I don't think anything will go wrong, but just in case, I'd like to keep it more hush hush at least until I'm 12 weeks. 

I am doing well so far. No nausea... yet! I hope I didn't just jinx myself. Smells haven't really been bothering me much, except for today at work was pretty bad, but everyone thought it smelled bad. I guess the garbage in the treatment room at work hadn't been changed since over the weekend and there was feces in it, so it had been sitting around all weekend brewing. So when someone opened the stool bucket (as we call it at work) it stunk up all of treatment. I had to get out of there it was so bad. I took the bucket and bleached it in the tub in kennel; I couldn't stand it. Anyways, I haven't had any food aversions, at least not yet. I have been wanting cheese like all the time though. It's still pretty early on, so I guess we'll see what evolves. 

I found out today that my due date (January 24th) is my supervisor's birthday. I found that funny. The odds of me actually delivering on that day are slim to none though, so she shouldn't have to worry about sharing a birthday with him or her.

May 17th

Mike and I just found out today that we're pregnant! I never thought it would happen so fast (we were only trying for 2 months).  When I read the results on that pregnancy test this morning I had mixed feelings. I was ecstatic, but at the same time I felt unprepared. Are we really ready for this? Can we actually afford this? You guys know me, I'm a worrier, but in all honesty I know we will never really be ready for this and people that live in poverty have children all the time, they make it work. We will make it work. Everything will be fine (I have to keep telling myself that). Besides all of that I am happier than I have ever been in my entire life. Today was the best day of my life, soon to be replaced by many other milestones as the pregnancy progresses. I made my first prenatal appointment today and the nurse told me that my due date is January 24, 2014. Mike and I are looking forward to the next step in our lives :)

They have these fancy digital pregnancy tests now 

Mike bought me flowers when we found out :)
