First off...HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Anyway, back to the entry.... yesterday was my first "official" OB appt. I've lost ten pounds, but Dr. Robinson says it's no big deal. It's probably diet related and then we check stats and took an ultrasound. Lily would not sit still long enough, so here's the most-blurry-ever u/s of the baby!

Had my first PAP -tad uncomfortable, but what do you expect? And both the baby and I are as healthy as can be. (Which is a first in my part.)

o3: Baby's First Picture

I had vaginal bleeding on Tuesday, which freaked me the hell out, so I went to the doctor. Turns out I only had a UTI, but since I'm pregant, they needed to check everything and I had my first ultrasound. And the baby will now be refered to as Lily, because I am determined to have a girl, damn it. And if it worked for Justin's friend, Amber, it will sure as hell work for me.

And on another note, I'm already 8 weeks pregnant as of Saturday, so I took a belly picture. Two months already, damn time has passed quickly. There's not much of a change, but if you look closely between the two, I have a slight pudge near the panty line. I can't see it all that well since I can only see it from above, but I sure as hell feel it. And Friday I had pregnancy sickness from hell. (I refuse to call it morning sickness. That is the worst named pregnancy malady.)

Okay, so I know I'm only at 5 weeks, but methinks I should take a picture of my belly every month to show it's progression, cuz I'm a nerd. That way everyone can see the difference from the end of month one all the way to month nine.

Did I mention I was such a nerd?

o1.5: These are the things...

...that were given to me at the clinic

There's a new Winnie the Pooh baby's cap (which Justin put on his hed, go figure) and a little shirt with an iron-on sheep riding a skateboard. I was also given "Strongstart" prenatal and postnatal vitamins. They're good for me and orangey flavoured, but they kinda taste like butt. Liz also gave me a Help for the Journey Pregnancy Packet. It's a pretty decent paquet with fun tid bits in it. Once I'm in my 12 week, I'll start going to classes and earning 'points'. With those points I earn free stuff like a crib and clothes and such. One of the classes gives you a free carseat for joining. Isn't that grande? The paquet also has timelines and fetal information and the like. I'm going to be one very active mommy-to-be. I've already quit smoking. I'm so excited.

Today, at around 1:30, I decided to go to A Women's Touch Pregnancy Counseling Center to try out a free pregnancy test. I was having a bit of discomfort in my hips and abdomen as well as my lower back and just for precautions sake, I wanted to check. After a consultation, with shaking hands, I readied the test. I waited on the other side of the room, while I talked to the pregnancy counselor of "if you are" and "if you are not". After the four-minute wait, which went by more quickly than I had expected it to, I viewed my test result to find it positive. I started shaking; I was so happy. I handed it to Liz, the PC, and asked her to tell me that the test had to lines. She nodded and said yes.

Justin was the first one I called. He was so happy. He even left work early with a "My wife's pregnant; I'm leaving" and picked me up at the clinic. I called both sides (his and mine) of the family and all of my friends that I could think of off the top of my head.

I'm so happy. Justin's like a little kid with a new present to look forward to, and the two of us are just ecstatic. We both really want a girl. All I have to do now is make a doctor's appointment.

I guess Amber and I got our wish. We are so having babies together. :)
