In love with a diaper bag?

So I've been searching for a new diaper bag. I found this one at Buy Buy Baby made by Bananafish. I love that it looks like an actual bag and not like I'm schlepping with a big, bulky diaper bag. I would have to see this bag in person before I offically fall in love with it, but I like the looks of it online. Definitely worth a trip down to Rockville to check it out!

Out on FB

Finally made it official and annouced the baby on Facebook! So excited to hear from everyone! I love hearing about other people who are also expecting around the same time (Don't worry, I won't "out" you on my blog). It is nice to finally be happy for people who are pregnant without feeling that little twinge of jealousy deep down.

Still not feeling too many symptoms. I am getting more tired throughout the day, and I continue to miraculously lose weight. I could understand if I was nauseous and throwing up all the time, but I'm eating pretty regularly and not going out of my way to eat less. I guess my body is just burning more calories making a baby. Plus, being on my feet at work as opposed to sitting around all summer probably makes a difference as well. I am also more active in the morning getting Brady and myself ready and then making sure we do our afternoon routine when he gets off the bus. I'm pretty busy until Brad finally comes home (and then I collapse).

I am starting to feel gurgles and flutters in my tummy when I'm lying down and reading at night. I know it's too early to feel movement and kicks, but I'm pretty sure that I can recognize those flutters earlier than the first one.

Letting the Cat out of the Bag

It was such a fun day at work today letting everyone know our baby news. It was fun keeping the secret for two months, but it was even more fun to let the secret out. After trying for three years, and really trying hard the last year, all of our friends are so happy for us. I have the most supportive and loving friends that helped me through this last year and listened to (most definitely) TMI during our lunches. I was so proud and happy to let them know that we are finally pregnant! It was a great day!

Reassurance

I had a short meeting yesterday with my nurse at Kaiser. I guess they replaced the Prenatal I class with a one-on-one meeting with your nurse. This gave her time to go over all the different screenings, tests, and procedures they are going to do throughout the pregnancy. It was reassuring to talk to her and let her know that I did not feel pregnant in any way. She assured me that this was completely normal. In fact, when I got home after that afternoon, I was exhausted, and I have started (finally) to start feeling pressure in my lower abdomen. Friday is the big day when I meet with the doctor and get to hear the heartbeat for the first time!

Grapefruit

If my uterus was the size of a small grapefruit, wouldn't I feel something!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
