6 weeks!

I am going to continue going by my caclulations until after my ultrasound Tuesday when the doc will know better about how far along I am. Therefore, I think I am 6 weeks today. That makes the baby the size of a sweet pea & it is developing his/her eyes, noise, and mouth! The arms and legs are also buds now! CRAZY!! Here is an updated picture.... the day after I found out and today at 6 weeks!

Telling the World!! This is going to be long!

Well a lot has changed since the last update. I haven't really felt like updating because I have a sinus infection that is making me feel like crud. Thursday after I updated I got my first day of morning sickness. I was eating breakfast and put a bite in my mouth and said wow, I'm full already no more after this bite. Then I swallowed that bite to immediately start gagging. Well, I felt better shortly after that and didn't get sick but then I started coughing because of the sinus drainage and the coughing led to gagging which led to throwing up for a long, LONG time. Thankfully it was a 2 hour delay that day! I decided to tell my team & my principal at school that day. Here is how I told the world on Thursday:

Telling my principal: I went in her office and told her I needed to tell her something before she heard from someone else. She said "Oh no, where are you going?" I told her I hoped to not go anywhere and hope to be there next year! I then told her I was pregnant & due in September. She is very happy for me and got up and gave me a big hug! I thought it was very sweet. She asked me how I'd been feeling and everything! :)

Telling my team: we happened to all be chatting in the hall during planning so I asked them to step in my room for a second. I then told them I had lied about where I went the day before that I didn't go to the dentist. One of them said I know... you went to the gyno! I said yes, and I'm pregnant! They were really excited although I can't say they were very shocked. One of them said she knew I wasn't going to the dentist because of the look on my face when I said that is where I was going. Another said she knew something was up because of how many times I have said that I am tired lately and how I never talked about being tired before.
All in all that went really well.

Telling my nieces: That night we ate at mom's and had my 2 neices over so we could tell them. I had decided I wanted to ask them about babysitting and mama saw a 2 pack of pacifiers so she bought them for me to give one to each of them. So I had them behind my back & told them I had something for them. Lindsay started freaking out and saying I was scaring her. haha! And Taylor looked around my back and said "She has pacifiers. Why does she have pacifiers? Is she telling us we are acting like babies???" I couldn't help but laugh. I said "No, I was wondering if you would be willing to babysit?" Lindsay screamed "YOUR PREGNANT?!?!" and Taylor just kept saying "She's lying... she's lying. Are you kidding?" Haha... when I finally had them where they believed me they were soooo excited and that they were really keeping those pacifiers to use when we had the baby! haha.

Telling the world aka facebook... We knew we had then told all the important people that we needed to personally tell so we decided to go ahead and tell the world (aka facebook). So I posted on facebook "*The Kirby family will grow by 2 feet in September 2011! <3* We have gotten tons of comments telling us congrats and they are so excited for us!

We are so excited and it feels great for everyone to know now. One of the teachers I work with brought me some belly bands & the one I ordered came in yesterday so I may be wearing some of those very soon so I can continue wearing my regular clothes that have gotten so tight already! All I want to do is EAT! I'm soo hungry all the time. I woke up at 4:40 this morning and was STARVING so I had to eat some crackers. Then when I got up at 7:30 (yes I would have liked to sleep later) I was STARVING again! I put on some bowled eggs & couldn't wait for that and had to eat something while waiting for that!I can't wait go to the doc & get my ultrasound on TUESDAY!!! WOOHOO!!! :)

Doctor's appointment

Well I went to my doctor's appointment yesterday and no ultrasound as I expected BUT I get to have one next Tuesday!!! He said everything looks & feels normal and that based on my last menstrual period he thinks I am 6 weeks but will know more once they do the ultrasound. I don't think I'm quite that far along but we will see on Tuesday! If I am 6 weeks they gave me a due date of September 23rd! They also did bloodwork and asked me a million questions too. The doctor kept saying he was so happy for us (he knew we were trying & had put me on the clomid). He said all you needed was the clomid to help you out!! :) 2 hour delay today... woohoo!!

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya… Tomorrow… Your only a day awayyyyy!!! (Yes I stole that from you Ashley on TMP... haha) I go to the doc tomorrow at 2:30! I’m sure he won’t do much of anything but I’m just so excited to finally go to the doctor & hear him say “Yes, you are really pregnant.” I know it is silly but I just can’t wait! Then we plan on telling the world! Tomorrow is a work day so I will be going in tomorrow morning basically just to go to meetings. I have a training from 9-10:30 & a budget meeting with the super at 10:45. Then I’m leaving at 12!! I decided to go ahead and take 1/2 day because they will charge me for 1/2 day anyway so I might as well go get something to eat and take it easy on the way to the doc. My assistant principal met with me today about my observation from yesterday and I apparently waasn’t as out of it as I felt. She said I did a good job so that made me feel better. Resting up tonight and trying to get some work done since I won’t have my work day tomorrow!

Stressful day...

My day started when I woke up to my dog whining at 5 am. I then realized that I was having cramps that felt like my period. I was so upset because I was afraid something was wrong. I just knew I was going to start bleeding & that I was miscarrying. They went away after about 10 minutes & I haven't had any bleeding. I tested again this afternoon when I got home from work just to try to give me some reassurance & the test line was darker than the control line so that made me feel better. I also saw a lot online about period like cramps are really common about this time in pregnancy because of the uterus expanding. Please pray that everything is fine. I am very thankful that I am going to the doctor on Wednesday!!

Of course I then had an observation first thing this morning after I was completely stressed already. I feel like I bombed that observation but I am just so not going to worry about it. I also had 2 of my sped kids have breakdowns this afternoon so all in all it wasn't a great day. I am going to rest up tonight & pray that everything is fine and tomorrow will be a better day.

Appleseeds!

I am 5 weeks and the baby is the size of an appleseed now!! I love my sweet little appleseed. It is hard to believe but the heart could start beating this week!! Still really tired all the time but feel pretty good other than that. Here is a pic of my belly the day after I found out and today. See if you can see a difference. I can although it is all bloat.

Yummy Mexican Food!!

Ok, I believe I am now having my first cravings! We had a new Mexican resteraunt open and we went and ate there last night. It was SOOO good. Today at lunch that is ALL I could think about. DH was like are you sure you dont want this or this or this. I was like no... I want a chimichanga!! haha! It was sooo yummy both last night & today at lunch!!! :) I'm still really tired all the time and my boobs hurt really bad but other than that feel pretty good.

So today we are cleaning out our current office which will be our future nursery. This is sooo exciting! It is almost compltely empty and it is going to make a beautiful nursery!! It is all soo exciting. I will be 5 weeks tomorrow!!!
