Sick and Tired.

I can't believe how much I can sleep these days. It's absolutely ridiculous. I've been falling asleep between 8:30 and 9 most nights (mind you, I'm getting up at 5:20 during the week). This weekend I've napped A LOT. Andrew read something for fathers-to-be that said, "Right now when you wife is lying on the couch, she is doing as much work as you do when you work out at the gym." So, that made me feel a bit better. It's just hard to explain and accept when there's no outward changes yet.

I've been extremely nauseous over the last week too. It lasts all day and nothing will help to settle it. I'm very much looking forward to being done the first trimester. However, that may not be as soon as I had thought. I was sent for a second ultra sound this week because they think they got the due date wrong. I'll find out early this week what my real due date actually is.

That's all for now. It's strange writing when I know no one (except maybe Andrew) is reading this yet. Looking forward to sharing our news with people.

Pineapple?!

I've been feeling pretty well over the last week, but definately am aware that there's something going on in my body. Most mornings I feel really nauseous, but I've yet to get sick, so I really can't complain.

I had my first craving tonight. It's a wierd feeling. I was at youth group and Andrew was giving his talk and all the sudden all I could think about was pineapple. Pineapple of all things! So bizarre. So, we went to Sobey's right after youth and bought a bunch of good, sweet fruit. It could definately be worse...I'm glad I"m not craving ice cream or anything...yet.

That's about all, except that I'm dying to tell people....it's so hard keeping this to myself! I go for my first ultra sound on Saturday so I'm excited about that and I think they'll be able to tell me how far along I probably am and then I'll know better how long it will be until I can start telling people. It's exciting to think about.

That's all for now! I'm exhausted....all the time. I need to sleep now.

Our little pizza pop

This past Monday I did a pregnancy test and got a positive result! I was both ecstatic and terrified. I was starting teaching full time on Tuesday so I really didn't have much time to let it all sink in.

Andrew came home for lunch and I just couldn't wait to tell him. Whenever we talk about having a baby he always mentions that it has to "cook" in my stomach. So, I told him I'd had a crazy morning (which I had) and to top of it all off that there was a funky smell coming from the oven (which there wasn't.) I asked him to check it out and went upstairs for a minute. Standing at the top of the stairs, this is what how it all played out....

Andrew: "Is this a pizza pop?"

.................

Andrew: "Laura, where's this bun from?" (yelling up the stairs)

Me: "pardon?"

Andrew: "There's a little bun in the oven."

Me: "Say that again..."

Andrew: ........

I came down the stairs and the look on his face was absoloutely priceless! SO wonderful! I can't believe I have a teeny tiny little baby in me. Apparently it's the size of a bb pellet right now....crazy.

I've been so busy teaching over the last few days that it definately hasn't sunk in yet, but we are so excited for this little pizza pop of ours!
