Week 9

This week I am feeling a little better and was able to get in 20 miles this week and verify over 1000 rx's HA!
Belly is getting bigger and it is very annoying. My pants still fit.
I went shopping at Old Navy(online) and bought 2 pairs of pants for 12 bucks and a sweater/hoodie. I also bought 3 pairs of nice dress pants at Kohls with my 30% and my gift card and a bread maker hehe

I finally saw Tascia and her baby (born 2-9-09). He is adorable! He says agua super cute. I told Tascia. I was just really embarrassed. So, I whispered in a really awkward way in her ear I am having a baby and she was like WHAT? She didn't understand me so Jess helped me out a little. It was really nice to see Gina she is gonna pop out in one month the 17th and so is Rachael.

The next day my super husband took me out for dinner and we went to Rocos after finding out Gino's East has closed. That was the place where we had the rehearsal dinner so we were really bummed

Elli has found an awesome home in Lombard IL. I will miss her desperately but her new mom said she will send us photos and we can see her in the future as well

week 7/8

Week 7+8 were completely different! Gina's baby shower I told all of my friends. I am more emotional (prob overwhelmed with foster/work/housework) I am just tired. Working out was at about half the distance. Up at the hospital 2days/week. Boobs are stretching feeling. Bloat is horrible. I Gained almost 4 pounds and didn't want to gain any the first trimester! I am begining to want to eat more. Plus harder for me to drink enough water and prob doesn't help the bloat.
Funny story:
Bridget is very excited for baby. She asks how baby is doing everytime i talk to her. I was telling Bridget on week 8 that baby is a size of a raspberry and can move legs and arms. I also told her of the pains I get. Well, when my sis got home, she told her I can feel baby moving. My sis imedialtly thought I thought that and thought I needed to know that is just not possible. My mom was with her and told her to just let me think it! HAHAHA! Funny what people think of you!

Week1-6

We found out 8dpo (3.5 weeks). i took many pregnancy test for 2 weeks hahaha!
I was feeling fine not feeling pregnant at all! I was able to keep up doing my 16-17 miles/week. Went to Great America twice as bag lady. I did have occasional headaches.

Week 5: I saw Dr. Leipold. I really like her and we went over things. No ultrasound yet. I go back at 9 weeks( every 4 weeks). My mom around week 5 asked me if I was still pregnant.

Week 6:
I did get sick on week 6 which put a little weight on and set me back with exercising. Plus the nasal stuff didn't seem to go away.
.

How we told family:
I called my sis and mom right away and swore them to secrecy. If you know my mom, that means nothing hahaha!
Matt text Andrea 1st at 4 weeks and she was super excited! Later that night we told Hanna to tell the family that I am having a baby and that baby is Matt's baby while Andrea was on the phone. Andrea was excited she was the first to know. Christine figured it out before Hanna could finish and Matt's mom was in shock! Nancy seemed super excited too!

I told Bridget and Brittany week4 when I brought Elli over to their house. They were super excited.
