Thoughts

There are more entries I need to catch up on but for now I just want to write about how I have being doing and feeling while pregnant.  It is exciting and just wonderful to know that I am blessed to be able to grow life inside of me.  I read a lot about what I should or shouldn't do what to eat what to avoid.  I try to eat healthy and I have been exercising I probably should exercise a bit more but for now I have been riding my bike at the Hamden/Cheshire bike trail.  I have gone a total of 3 times the last two times we went I have made it to the mark 0.0 which is a total of like 15 miles to and from our starting point. 

I get hungry often and eat small meals and fruits at different times.  On my last check up with my doctor I weighed the same as when I found out I was pregnant which by that point I had already gained a few pounds and was one month pregnant Doctor said it was not bad but from now on to start gaining a bit of weight not a lot and a slow pace.  Every Saturday I turn a new week currently I am on week 15 I read that now our baby is the size of an apple and the legs are growing longer then the arms now.  I am so excited and can't wait to find out what we are having a pretty girl or a handsome boy.  I am excited regardless of what we have I know many mom's hope for the same thing but I truly just want the baby to be healthy I could not ask for anything else.  We will find out August 16th at about 10:30am that's if our baby want's us to know because maybe it's a bit modest and doesn't want to show just yet.  I have had to get more blood work done because they are checking my thyroid levels.  This Friday I also need to do the glucose test and will be drinking that orange liquid that I heard is not very pleasant.

Today 05/10/13 we found out....

May 10, 2013 Surprise

We are pregnant! :D How exciting!!!!! I couldn't believe it when I heard the news today.  I had some blood work done on Monday due to my allergies and some weird things that had been happening to my body but mainly I went for allergies well Dr. L wanted to make sure he didn't give me any medicine that would harm you so to make sure we got that blood work done.  I was told I would know by Tuesday or Wednesday... well Wednesday I called and they said that they would let me know on Thursday the 9th.  I was still unsure about it but at this point I figured I am late and that's not like me.  So finally I called after I dropped of your daddy at work and I was put on hold for a while and Alana called me I hung up with the Dr. Office and talked to her for a while sure enough she has lost another loved one, like she says these are the trials she has to go through for some reason my heart goes out to her.  While we were talking Dr.'s Office left a vm so we are playing phone tag at this point.  I called them back and I talk to Lisa she said my results are in.  It's around 10:26am and she says my TSH is normal, Vitamin D is Normal, Glucose is Normal and then about... and she whispers this like it was a big secret - about your pregnancy test it's positive my reaction was a huge smile from ear to ear and I said Ohhhh wow! It's the greatest news I have ever heard and then she asks are you happy?   Uhhmm YEAH! well I said of course I am HAPPY! Just so giggly and happy! I wanted to shout it to everyone and share the excitement but your our first and everyone was waiting for us to bring you to this world that I needed to inform our loved ones in a very special way.  Mom's are going to be told with a sweet poem and a frame where they can replace the poem for your picture as soon as your here.  Ohh today is also Robert's Birthday and in Spanish culture today is actually Mother's Day well what wonderful news to receive this day.  I planned on taking your daddy to one of the places we went on our first date at the Lighthouse Beach in East Haven, he got stuck at work a little longer so it was late I wanted to record it perfectly and take pictures.  I told him I was working on a project and if he could come with me because I needed a picture of the lighthouse and he was taking pics with his cell very trusting in what I had told him I went back to get the car and turn on the lights because it was very difficult to see while I tried to record his reaction!  Earlier after my dentist appointment I went and bought him a book that we should read together as we experience this journey and I told him it was from you.    He was so excited and he cried and said "I am going to be a daddy?" Really? Seeee I told you!!! that you were pregnant! " lol I had tricked him earlier and told him that I had  cramps because I knew he had been figuring it out.  Ohh I also met with my middle school friend for an early dinner we had planned for lunch but she got stuck in a meeting.  We were talking and I had to tell her and then she told me that she is expecting too! :D and she is 15 weeks I think I am either 3 or 4 weeks.  I thought back to the movie look who is talking and imagined you were talking through our tummy's as we ate at Charcoal Chicken in West Haven I know it's silly but it was a thought I had.  I am so happy and can't wait to share the news with everyone else we want to tell them on Sunday because it will Mother's day! Okay well I am saving this post until I add the photos but I just needed to write about it all tonight! here are the photos finally.

Half way done with March

Time flies when you are having fun, or better yet also just because we have been so busy.  I have a few updates that I need to include in here for starters I need to write about a little snow storm we had on Friday March 8th we figured it would be our last time to be able to build a snowman.  The last time we had the Blizzard early February we didn't build one so this time for sure we created David the Snowman.  It was perfect not too cold and the snow was exactly perfect where it could be easily molded.

Shawn and I like to host St. Patrick's day.  I am not Irish but I look up some recipes and have fun with it.  This year we planned somewhat late so we did not have corn-beef when I went to buy it they had sold out.  I know what's the point of celebrating it then lol well we had ham instead and everyone loved it and the meal we even had green juice.  Shawn was working but at least not too late so he was able to enjoy as well.

 Shawn is almost done with this semester of school and actually getting even closer to being done with his masters program.  He is very dedicated on his school work and continues to have a 4.0 I am so proud of him! Work and School keeps us very busy and in a constant routine I am looking forward to being able to go out more, on walks, on trips.
