We are PREGNANT!

Who woulda thunk it would only take two months to get pregnant after being on Birth Control for 12 YEARS!?!!! I certainly didnt. I thought it would take a year or more.

Erik and I had a huge St. Patty's Day BBQ and I had planned a day of drunken debauchery. The day before, on the way home from work, I got an idea. I should probably take a pregnancy test and make sure I'm not going to jack up a baby with my drinking. I had noticed a couple changes in my body and was hopefull, but cautious. Well, it turns out I am pregnant!

I am six weeks and 1 day today. I went to my doc today (thanks for the referal Sis). This doc is amazing! First thing he did was sit me down in his little office and ask me if I had any questions. I questioned him like a drill seargent and he smiled while answering everything.

He took ultrasounds and determined that I am due on 11-8-2011. I am going to try for a delivery date of 11-1-11 or 11-11-11. I think that would be cool. If it is a boy and he's born on one of those days, I think I might have to call him Ace. LMAO.

We have names picked out mostly. I'm not going to share just quite yet.

Tonight we went to Babies R Us and looked at all the options for furniture and strollers, etc. There is some super cute stuff out there. It is also super pricey! Thankfully I can make some of my own stuff like the bedding, etc.

This is the baby! Its the little tiny gray thing inside the circle to the right. The doc showed me its heart beating. I cried.. Sniff Sniff.
Hubby has been super supportive. Making sure I eat right and packing me breakfast and snacks. I rarely used to eat Breakfast, but I'm afraid if I dont now, Erik will kick my ass (proverbially). He basically would do anything for me. Not letting me lift things and such. So cute. He was good to me before, but dang! Love him!!

Work is being supportive. All my coworkers are excited for me and it's really nice knowing that I have that happiness around me all the time.

There are a couple people in my life who are not happy that I am pregnant. But, let me tell you this: This pregnancy was planned. It was not something Erik and I took lightly. If you dont like it, then you can piss off or keep your damn mouth shut. I am not about to start feeling depressed because someone doesnt like something that wont affect them at all. I'm sorry, but thats how I feel.

This baby will be loved, cherished, nourished and cared for deeply.

I should probably go to bed! eek its Midnight..

love to you all.
