16 Weeks and Counting

Well we are officially a little over 16 weeks! I have a regular check-up on Wednesday and am super excited because we'll get to hear our little peanut's heartbeat and then we can schedule our appointment for the sonogram to find out what we are having. I am just one of those people who need to know. I am a planner.

To be completely honest I am a little overwhelmed. I have the nursery furniture picked out, a month by month to-do list created (we were supposed to start in January, but we've Josh has done nothing. I have to blame it on him because he won't let me do anything), and have pinned just about every pin related to pregnancy.  We even have the venue for the shower and are finalizing the menu tomorrow. I'm hoping once I find out what we are having I will start making some decisions and the overwhelming feeling will somewhat go away. At the moment, I am very indecisive which is not like me at all.

Did I mention that the school year is winding down. Only 24 more days left with my first graders.....24 for more days to make sure I get everything covered and all assessments wrapped up. This may also play a part in the overwhelming sensation that sneaks up on me every now and then. I am also one of those freaks who is already trying to come up with a plan for my maternity leave in the fall. I swear that to-do list is longer than the one for peanuts arrival.

A Growing Family

It happened! We are expecting! I am pregnant---just in case you didn't get that. 

It still seems like a dream. I mean I still pee on a stick every now and then just to make sure. I know that makes me certifiably crazy. This is our first and I'm not really sure what to expect. I mean I've read the books and I love babies and being around them, but still this is the unknown for me. It's a little scary, exciting, overwhelming, the happiest time of my life etc., etc., etc. 

I swear as soon as I found out my body instantly changed. Josh actually was calling it for over week. I mean I never burp--- I was burping nonstop and felt so bloated. So one Saturday I just decide the hell with it and took a test...I wasn't even late. Sure enough we got a BFP. Six tests later and we still had a BFP. My mind has been going nonstop. I have so many questions and of course fun ideas. I am at the wonderful stage where I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep.  I've already created a list categorized monthly of everything that needs to be done before the baby comes. Pinterest is my new middle of the night best friend. 

After our first appointment, We told our family and close friends. I kind of wanted to keep it on the downlow, but Josh was so excited (still is) and wanted to tell everyone. I am super excited as well, but nervous. I think I'll feel better once I'm further along. 

Here's to months of the unexpected!
