Something extra...

Written on 5/5/12:

Looks like we brought back something extra from Italy!!!

That's right folks, we're preggers!  I found out on Wednesday, April 11.  I took a pregnancy test the Sunday after we got back from Italy and it was negative.  No big deal.  We joke about getting pregnant in Italy but seriously, who gets pregnant that fast???  Apparently we do.

Fast forward a week to the 11th. Me and Philip were finishing up a run & bike on some nearby trails. For some reason, I had this nagging thought that I should take another pregnancy test, even though the one the week before had been negatigve. While we were cooking dinner, Philip said he was going to open a bottle of wine. I said, "let me just take a test before you do, just to be sure." Two mintues later and BAM! 


To say we were shocked would be an understatement!  I made Philip ride with me to CVS to get more tests because I was so surprised.  One more test that night and another one two days later and I think I finally started believing that I was pregnant. 

I had my first doctors appointment on Monday, April 16.  They confirmed that I was, in fact, pregnant and set up an ultrasound for May 2.  

We told our parents pretty much right away.  They were tickled to say the least.  We told a few friends right away but that's only because if you see me at dinner without a glass of wine, it's pretty obvious something's up :)

I went to the doctor on May 2nd for my first ultrasound.  What a strange but exciting thing.  We got confirmation on how far along I am and the due date.  So as of my appointment, I was 7 weeks and 1 day.  Due date is December 18, 2012!


First Belly Shot: 7 weeks, 2 days.
