I'm not fat, I'm big boned!

A couple weeks ago I started to feel really run down. As soon as I'd get home from work I'd be ready for bed, and on days I had Addie I would fall asleep in the afternoons. Not usual for me. I figured it was a nutrition issue or I was getting sick. The next week (last week) I started feeling sick to my stomach. What was up with me? I felt sick Monday, okay Tuesday, and sick again Wednesday. Thursday when I was home with Addie I thought to myself, "I have a pregnancy test sitting in the bathroom. I know that's not it, but I may as well take it just to exclude that as an option." So I took that fun little test and was about to leave the room as it was "reading" and glanced to see . . . two lines! What? I had so convinced myself that I wasn't that I was genually shocked. Not that it was unheard of, I just wasn't prepared. A big smile crept across my face. :) Now I HAVE to tell Loren. Be he's at work and I don't like to call him at work. I know, I'll take a picture of the test and send it to him. So I got a halfway decent shot and sent it on it's way. No response. This was about 10am. Hmm. That's it, I have to see him -- we'll meet him for lunch. Addie of course took a super long nap right when we needed to leave, but we made it right after he left for his lunch break. He said he figured it out, but it took him a while -- he didn't know what the picture was of. :) I guess guys aren't as used to seeing those things. So I went to the doctor yesterday and we're guessing I'm 4-6 weeks which puts me due in June. I'm still really tired (I fell asleep at 7:30pm on Wednesday!) and a little sick to my stomach, but pregnancy tea is really helping. I have my dating ultrasound scheduled in December, but in the meantime I'm going to set up a consultation with Treasure Valley Midwives to explore that as an option for this delivery. I'll admit that there's a little panic concerning having a newborn with a toddler, but we're super excited! Loren is really hoping for a boy this time.

So in reference to my title, no I'm not just getting fat. There really is a reason for it. Nobody has commented, but I feel like I'm showing (even though I'm so early!). Pants are just starting to get a bit snug. Oh, and I'm eating like a pig, so that's probably not helping. :)

So, that's my news. Wish us luck in our new adventure. :)
