Macaroni and Cheese Please!!

Well apparently I’m having a macaroni and cheese/California roll loving baby. I have eaten macaroni and cheese for the last 3 days in a row. For those of you who are very health conscious, it’s homemade mac and cheese, I don’t do the boxed stuff. Anyway, I understand why, I’m starting to need a lot more calcium. It’s just a good thing I don’t mind eating the same thing over and over again. OK, the end of the first trimester is May 28th, so everyone keep us in your thoughts.

First Doctors Appt.

Oh my god, how amazing is a baby’s heartbeat. Let me just say that it is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard in my life, and yes, I did cry. The heartbeat was 160 beats/minute, which is good I’m told. The baby looks size wise right where it’s supposed to be. So, so far so good, the due date is now officially November 27th. Please, please don’t come on Thanksgiving, I really want to eat that day. So, how much do you want to bet this baby will come on Thanksgiving. OK, so as promised, baby pictures and belly pictures (well a belly picture). Sorry to disappoint, but I think it’s all still just fat at this point, well like I said, a little growth, but mostly fat.

I'm standing on my head, just so you can find me

Not much happening

As everyone who has already experienced pregnancy knows, there’s still not much happening here. I can tell the difference in my waist, it’s getting thicker, my cloths are getting a little tighter, and my stomach is getting harder. I’m still hiding it well though, not that I thought I would get big quickly, but it’s good because I still haven’t told my advisor (or anyone else really for that matter). I’m pretty sure she’ll be fine about it, she’s really nice and I really like working with her a lot, but I am a little worried. Oh well, what can you do. I can’t wait until the 19th, I want to hear this baby so badly. I’m so excited for the heartbeat. I know I won’t be able to see much, but I’ve heard you can actually see the heart beating which I think is so amazing. OK, I’ll try to get recent photos of my not so protruding belly and baby pictures as soon as I have them.

We still haven’t really told anyone that we are pregnant yet, so I’m hoping people won’t stumble across this page yet. I know I shouldn’t have created it yet just for that reason, but I couldn’t resist. If you do happen to find this I’m really sorry and we are going to tell you so please don’t tell anyone until we call you.
