4 weeks

Since we were trying to get preggers, we found out at 4 weeks. First things first, I signed up for all the baby sites to start tracking all the amazing things happening to this little bug inside of me. We called our Dr and scheduled our first appointment for Dec 6th and I started taking my prenatal vitamins. BARF-that's exactly what I did the first time I took those nasty vitamins, but dummy me, I took them on an empty stomach. In BIG BOLD print on the front of the bottle it says "Take with food" and now I know why. Won't be making that mistake again.

Next thing we did was tell my best friend-she'll often be referred to as bestie, beefy, DBSCHK2 or just BFF. We didn't really have a choice when it came to telling my BFF; she'd been tracking my period all month so she knew the weekend was going to be our make or break point. I was in the middle of telling the hubby that it would be impossible for me to keep it from her when she text me and asked if she was going to be Aunty Birdy again? If I had tried lying, she would have known, even through text message so instead I just sent her a pic of my PREGNANT test. She was just as happy and surprised it happened that fast as we were.

Next was deciding how we were going to tell our parents and when. Since Thanksgiving was around the corner I wanted to wait and do something special for them that day. Not sure who I was trying to kid, there was no way I was going to keep this secret for two weeks. The day after we found out, we were headed to a Turkey Shoot with the family and of course I told my parents and sister right away! I had to break it to them that AJ and I wouldn't be making it to our annual family camping trip in July because we'd be 9 months pregnant. To no surprise, my mom LOST it, which then made me cry for the first time.

I'm taking weekly pictures to track my growing belly (and everything else) and I keep seeing this survey on all the prego blogs so I'll also update this for everyone. Only 36 weeks to go!
