Yikes ~ We're pregnant!!!

So I still can't believe it!! We weren't trying so this is all such a bog shock. I am nervous and scared but happy and excited! I think it is great that we were surprised but at the same time I was not living life as if pregnant. Taking hot baths, glasses of wine, not taking a prenatal vitamin. We are on the right path now and hopefully it is not too late.

We have slowly been telling our friends. It's funny but some told us they knew we were trying!! :) Some (like my maid of honor when we were married) it took more than 10 minutes to convince I was serious! Can't wait to tell our families. I would like to tell my parents in person and we will tell Brian's parents after our first doctor appointment.

Getting to that... Our first doctors appointment. I am so excited!! I don't know if she will do a sonogram but I am hoping because I have no clue when I am due! I think I am 7 weeks tomorrow... but... My periods are so irregular they range from 28 to 45 days in length. So I am hoping she will want to do one to determine the due date. I really want a somewhat accurate due date and to know how far along we are.

This is so exciting and I am so happy it was a surprise. There aren't too many surprises anymore so I'm happy this was one :)

Whew! Scared for a second!!

Ok. So we went for our first doctors appointment. It was scary and something I hope to not repeat for the remainder of our pregnancy. She examined me and was worried that we were no longer pregnant. She said my uterus was too small. That my previous lab results were low. She kept saying things like "We are going to treat this like you are still pregnant" and "If it's not meant to be, it's really not meant to be." I can't even remember anything else she was saying because it all happened so fast and I was shoved out the door to get labs done!! I had a whole list of questions and I didn't get to ask a single one because everything was happening so fast! Not to mention her and her assistant couldn't seem to get it together when trying to figure out how to fill out the lab paperwork!! On top of everything today she wanted us to call her office to make sure the results were in, then call her to tell her to retrieve the results, then she would call us and let us know how things were. Well! You know I couldn't wait for that!! So I called my "doctor friend" Lindy (well really shes a dietician/mom) who made me feel much better. On her recommendation I took another pregnancy test to calm my nerves. This test was positive so I felt much better. But not good enough! So, I called the hospital lab, posed as the doctor calling for my patients lab results and got the results for myself! The doctor was probably wondering why I was so relaxed when she called to tell me everything was fine!

Thank god that is over with and we know we are still happily plugging along :) Needless to say I have an appointment on Monday with a new doctor. Can't wait to tell our families :) I'm waiting until Easter to tell my Mom and Bill so I can tell them in person and I am trying to get tickets to Florida to tell my Dad and Regina. I missed the window where they were cheap so it isn't looking good. I convinced Dad to split the tickets with us... I think he will find it worthwhile if I can get there!! :)

And it's driving me crazy because we really have NO CLUE how far along we are!!! I'm hoping my new doctor will schedule a sonogram SOON!!

I can't believe he was right!!

I don't know about the man in your life but mine drives me crazy!! He is always right!! So this was one time I was like... He has no clue!! Well, boy was I wrong. My period is always crazy so we needed a sonogram to tell us our due date. According to the calendar I should have been 11 weeks. By my calculations I thought I was more like 9. My husband kept saying no we're 8 weeks. I kept telling him and everyone else that cared to listen that he had no clue what he was talking about. So we went for our sonogram... And can you believe it?? WE WERE 8 WEEKS!!!!! LOL! I'm sure I'll never hear the end of it...... Here is peanut's first photo :)

13 weeks and counting.....

We went for another sonogram the other day and it was just amazing! We could see our little baby jumping all around! He was pushing his little hands out and pushing against the inside of the placenta I guess... And at one point he stood up in there! He was just standing up :) He was also constantly opening and closing his mouth and sticking his tongue out at us. It was amazing the detail and how he is a little person in there even though he is only 3 inches long :) Check him out!

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We�re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you�re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi, I has a scare with shingles a few weeks ago myself! One of my clients co-workers had shingles then had another outbreak at work...quite gross. The doc said not to worry if you had chicken pox as a child as you can't get it because it's the same virus and once you had it once, you are immune. Hope this eases your worries because if you are like me, I was def. freaking out. angie

If you are breastfeeding, you want even want to think about working out until 6 weeks!!! You will be so tired, the thought of working out just doesn't cross your mind. I think the main concern is you have to wait until you stop bleeding, and that takes several weeks.

My daughter was 4 weeks old when I went back to the gym. It felt GREAT!!!!

According to my doctor, you are right in the "normal range" for weight gain. :) I am right about at 20 as well. You are doing great! :)

kaycie1 - Monday, 7 July
delia- i have gained 20 as well, i m pretty sure, go to the dr tomorrow so i will find out then. 20 lbs right now isnt that much. breastfeeding takes off quite a bit, but it does it slowly. so if it doesnt take it off real fast dont get discouraged and stop eating the way u should or u will run the likes of drying up. thats what i did with my last baby. she started not gaining any wieght after the 5th month, i completely dried my self up with a combination of not eating and stress, she had to go on formula and man did that kill us with the money for that stuff. this time i am going to make sure and eat the way i should. but anyway, 20 lbs is not that much. hope u are well.

hi! I rented my doppler from tummyticklers.com. It's a Canadian company located in BC. There are tons of different sites that you can rent from. Yesterday we heard the heart beat 2 out of 3 times - it was awesome!! At 10 weeks it might be a little trickier to hear, but you never know. Good luck!! xo

Thanks so much :)

So I am a little nervous and overwhelmed. We knew we wanted children and that we were going to start trying... eventually but baby decided he/she wasn't going to wait! So here we are. We haven't told anyone yet so hopefully none of our friends randomly peruse i-am-pregnant.com :)

Have my first doctors appointment on Monday the 11th. Looking forward to it!
