Thanksgiving Surprise!!

This July we are expecting our first baby!!  We are so excited to share this news with everyone.  From what we have seen and heard, it is going to turn our world upside down, and we are looking forward to every minute of it!

Last Thursday I took a test and it came up positive but I thought it was too good to be true, so I took another one later that day.. and within 30 seconds it also came up positive!  We were pretty convinced they were true, so I made an appointment for Monday and took a third test over the weekend just to make sure.  When I was at the doctor on Monday, there was a tornado siren going off in St. Charles, which sent everyone to the basement and I thought I was going to have to wait even longer for confirmation! Luckily, they were still able to fit me in before the doctor left for the day.  It was confirmed with a due date of July 12, 2011.. then they took a bunch of blood.



The next step was sharing the great news with our family, and what a better time then Thanksgiving?!

I made these onesies for all of our siblings and parents to tell them.. over the holiday weekend we gave them to our family at various times when we saw them all.  At Thanksgiving dinner that we had at our house, I rolled the onesie up inside the dinner napkin and made place markers for everyone.  When they went to open their napkin to eat turkey dinner, they saw it!  It turned out great and everyone is excited, needless to say!


 
I am currently 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant and my doctor's office does not do an ultra sound until 12 weeks, so we have to wait until December 23rd to see this little blueberry!  Just in time for Christmas!!

While we are still in disbelief, the symptoms have definitley hit me but I am adjusting my diet to help ease the morning sickness (which by the way, is NOT just in the morning!).  It's all worth it when I think about what is causing me to feel crumby! 

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their family!
