Your notes
7/20/11- Today was the doctors appt and I am definately pregnant! I had a moment of panic right before they came with the results that I had imagined it all. But the nurse came in and said the test she was running had already turned positive so it was a for sure. The test line is very dark. I couldnt even wrap my head around the situation well enough to ask questions. I love my OB he is awesome.  All he did today was go over my medications and figure out a plan. But the best part!  He scheduled an ultrasound for August 16!! Only four weeks away and yet four long weeks away. I can't wait.
7/21/11- I told the father. In someways I wish I hadn't because now I have to share you. LOL selfish! He is really good and seems excited about it. I feel like time is moving slow! I am very tired today and hungry. I want to eat cheese. It is a funny thing to be craving. I am telling your grandma and grandpa this weekend. I am very nervous.
7/22/11-  I am tired today. I felt the first little twinges of nausea today. It isn't too bed but you never know. Soo tired. I still cant believe this is really happening. I am starting to settle more with the news and don't feel like i have to blurt it out t everyone I see. I just cant wait until the 16th. 25 Days!
7/24/11- I told my mom and dad about the pregnancy. They were pretty good about it. I bet once things get going further along they will be really excited to be grandparents. Hey little peanut are you really in there? 23 days until I get to see you!
7/25/11- Hey little peanut. I want you so bad. Please grow and be healthy. My breasts are so sore now. One of the girls gave me a hug and i almost cried. I am really starting to fall in love with my peanut. I dont really dare though. What if something happens and I loose him?
