First Picture

I know that this is really blurry! It was copied and then I scanned it, so it's a little hard to see. The baby is between the two stars (* *), if you can see them! The next time I will be sure to get a copy of the actual picture!!

My morning sickness is still horrible. I am nauseous all day long. All food taste really bad, but I make myself eat!! Right now it is pretty much oatmeal, fruit, and sandwiches. Hopefully tomorrow I feel well enough to go to Dad & Kat's so we can eat at Galligaskins :)  YUMMY!

First prenatal appointment

Friday February 13, we had our first doctor's appointment. The hospital where I work recommended Dr. Harvey. She is a female doctor who is very sweet and kind. I really like her. She did an ultrasound to measure the baby and make sure my dates were correct. I was right on! 7 weeks and 3 days. The baby looked great and everything went really well. I saw the baby's heartbeat. It was fluttering so fast. That moment really made the whole situation real!! Dr. Harvey came out and showed Tony the picture and explained everything to him. I have to tell you that Tony's theory about this appointment was that it was just a gas bubble. He said "You're going to go in there and find out it's just gas!" Well, we know that's not the case and it blew his little theory right out of the water! Our due date is October 1, 2009 and as of right now, there is only one baby in my belly!! After the appointment I went to work and I was thinking about everything. I forgot to get a copy of the ultrasound. Of course I am going to need that for scrapbooking! :) I also forgot to ask her questions about what I can and can't do, eat, etc... WOW! I wasn't prepared at all!! Our next appointment is Friday March 13. Yes, another Friday the 13th!! Monday I will get a copy of the picture and post it so you can see the little peanut! 

I had a feeling...

On January 27th, 2009, I was laying in bed telling Tony that I thought I needed to take a pregnancy test. A few minutes later, Nina text me and told me she had a dream that either 2 people were pregnant or someone was having twins. The last time Nina had a dream about someone being pregnant it was true. Nicole was! So, I showed Tony the text and his eyes got really big. I knew what I needed to do. Wednesday January 28th, which was an ice day, I drove 10 mph all the way to CVS to buy a pregnancy test. I came home, ate breakfast, then took the test.  The test had a plus sign. I was thinking it wasn't right because when I opened the test it already had a slight blue line on it. I thought for sure it was tampered with or something. So, I took the test to Tony and said what does this look like to you? He said, it looks like you passed! Ha Ha, real funny! I called Nina to tell her her dream was right and that I was pregnant. I was freaking out at this point. She said take another to make sure. We went to the store and bought another. I wish I would have bought more then one the first time! We got back home, took the test, and what do you know, positive. Well, I was still not completely convince. I was thinking that I needed a blood test. I realize these tests are 99.9% accurate and finally gathered my thoughts and came to the conclusion that I was pregnant! I couldn't tell anyone right away because it was so crazy. I waited and waited. Nina finally said you have to tell the family. What are you planning on doing, waiting until your going into labor to tell people you are pregnant? I knew I couldn't wait that long, so I called my family on Saturday and told them the news!

Everyone was really excited which made me excited!
