So far, no morning sickness!    I've had a couple very small bouts of "not feeling well",  basically just a slight queezy stomach, but so far not actual hurling.  THAT'S GOOD NEWS!  I'm noticing that smells really bug me now though.  Sometimes if I'm walking by the breakroom at work and I can smell someone's lunch heating up, it totally grosses me out.

I only have 4 more days left in San Antonio.  Then I get to go home and start telling my family the good news.  It's been a little bit of a bummer being away from home and not getting to tell my family right away.  I guess I actually could have told them, but it would have been via telephone and that's not NEARLY as fun as telling them in person.  My mom is going to be SO PSYCHED!  I'm gonna go ahead and tell her to start planning vacation around my due date because I am totally gonna want her to be there with me.

I am very anxious to get past this first trimester.  I'm trying not to be paranoid about the health of the baby, but I know that once you get past the first trimester, the odds of miscarriage drop, so I'm just anxious to get to that mark.

Okay ... that's it for today.

Okay ~ so now everytime someone says the word "miscarriage", I get a ping of fear.  I am so happy to be pregnant, that I can't even imagine the possibility of losing the baby.  I pray everyday that God will keep me and the baby safe and let the baby grow strong in my womb.  I'm doing all the right things (including cutting out my much-desired morning coffee), so I know I shouldn't WORRY about it, but it's amazing how much I worry now that I'm pregnant. 

I've actually been feeling pretting good lately.  I had one day where I felt a little nausious, but other than that, I just have like some cramping and that's it. 

I'm counting down the days to August 3rd ~ my first OBGYN appointment.  I'm also counting down the days until I get back home to my family and can tell my mom and my husband's family.  I know they'll all be so excited!

Oh what a happy day!  I found out I was pregnant on Monday, July 10.  I had been experiencing a few symptoms of pregnancy for about a week.  That morning, I woke up feeling a bit queezy and thought it was finally time to take a test.  I took the test before I went to work that morning and was almost SHOCKED to see the + sign come up.  I was afraid it couldn't be right, so I took another test at lunch time.  Sure enough, that one was positive too.  I'm pregnant!  I'm finally pregnant!  Praise God!
