That about sums up my thoughts on the subject!  Though I thankfully and blessedly have not thrown up yet the nausea hits morning, noon, and night.  :-P  I've been trying to stock the house with yummy and healthy snacks and make sure I keep a balance of carbs and protein, the protein is what really seems to help, bring on the hard boiled eggs!  But it's hard when I'm not at home to find time/something that sounds appetizing to eat.  At work it's been Hawiian punch that's pulling me through.  I am very thankful that my morning sickness isn't bad but I'll be glad when it's gone!! Waking up at midnight and having to go get a snack from the fridge is a pain, and Dan gives me funny looks in the morning when I hand him the wrappers from the string cheese and strawberry fig neutons to throw away.  1 month and 3 weeks down, 7m 1w left to go and only 5 more weeks of this tri-mester when hopefully I'll feel a little more normal and not so queezy.  At least it's just one more confirmation of the new life I'm carrying (if not then I definitely need to see the Dr to fix what's wrong! :-)  )  Oh well, I guess I can tough it out, I was already told I wasn't going to get much sympathy because I don't handle being sick well.  (that and I am sure it's going to get worse, Dan is still trying to get out of being at the delivery [NOT IN A MILLION YEARS, I say])

Another thing I'm having problems with is concentrating and I have definitely been more eddgy lately (I'm sorry Dan!!!) Poor guy has to put up with me.  And I've also begun to be super tired!! The 45min nap I had to day is not long enough, I need more sleep but I wanted to make sure I'd fall asleep tonight (right now I think I could fall asleep on this computer and be perfectly OK).. 

All these new changes and experiences.  There's only so much you can learn from a book. Even if it's something that I have had to teach to patients as a nursing student, I still forget :-)

Last night we told our families the big news.  My parents and sister,  were all very excited my mom screamed and jumped up and down, I think my dad was shocked and my sister is all excited about being an aunt.  Dan asked them,"What are you doing in Nov?" when they replied they didn't know Dan said, "do you want to be Grandparents?" They thought we were kidding at first but we assured them no, it was true and they were all excited!

Next we called Dan's Mom and brother Jamie, MomA was very excited!! Dan asked if he could share some news that would brighten her not so good day and then we told her.  Jay's only response was, "oh cool".  After that call we called Brian (dan's other brother) and Valerie (Sister-in-law) and told them, Valerie was happy and said that just last week Mom A had mentioned that someone in the fam. was preggo and Val thought it was me but Dan's mom was talking about her niece who is due in Aug.  Now it's me too!  Next week we are planning on telling our grandparents because I want to tell Grandma Riley in person.

We're PREGNANT! (as if the website doesn't say it all). Dan and I are very excited about becoming parents, though we are a little nervous as well.  It dosen't seem real yet that we are actually going to have a baby before Thanksgiving.  Right now it seems FOREVER away and that it will never be here but I know it will be upon us before we can even blink so I am trying to treasure each moment and capture it all in.  My 1st prenatal visit is on Mar 24th and I'll be getting my 1st sonogram then so I am very excited about that.  More updates later :-)
