Baby Stats

Thank you for the comments and congrats!!

(This is the present that Paul's parents opened when we announced that we are pregnant => I used the ribbon idea from my creative friend, Amanda, and then I put on the baby and embossed those cute little feet on there. Very non-gender specific and cute, I think!)

I'd thought I'd put the stats on a post of it's own so that it's easier.

• I am nearly 4 months, I think. 15 weeks to be exact.
  
• My exact due date is Aug. 2 but I really want that sucker to come in July so that's what I say: 'the end of July'.
  
• We don't know what It #1 is yet. I don't feel very rushed to find out even though I probably could right now. I think I'll wait another month and/or see when the doc says to schedule our ultrasound.
  
• We don't have names picked out yet.
  
• My entire 1st trimester (minus the first weeks that I was blissfully unaware of my growing parasite) was the worst experience of my life. It's hard to be excited about a baby when you feel that awful. I was hospitalized once, nearly twice - because I threw up so much that I was throwing up blood, severely dehydrated, and couldn't keep a single thing down for several days at a time. I had to be put on Phengran, which was helpful but still, it was awful and painful and was the longest 2 months of my life and I am seriously, seriously scared to ever do this again!

When I told Paul, it had been a week since I found out. I was waiting for his schedule to die down a bit. When it did, I told Paul it was about time we had a nice evening in together and I made a homemade 'rustic veggie' pizza that was yum yum (but also made me want to puke). Paul lit a fire and then we had a little 'carpet picnic' on a blanket in front of the fire and had mini Bubblies.

When we were done eating, I told him I wanted to give him an early Christmas present. That little hoodrat already suspected what I was going to tell him...not because I had given off any clues, but because the present was wrapped in an old wrapping paper roll so he figured it was the perfect thing to hold a 'pee stick'. No Butthead!! I am not giving you my pee stick!! At least I threw him off a little when he opened it up and a pee stick did NOT come sliding out of the cardboard roll. Instead he had to dig it out because it was this:

I made that! And it says: 'My Dad's HOTTER than your Dad!' Hee hee hee. I got the whole thing on video but when Paul looked at the onesie he dropped a very bad word out of excitement and I feel like keeping my blog at least PG-13 =>

We are about to become parents...HO. LY. S!#T.
