Our first doctors appointment was very exciting and seemed to take forever. That could be because I had to pee so bad. The doctor was very nice and answered all of the questions that we had to ask. He also said that everything felt just fine and I have a "good sized pelvis" which I am guessing is a good thing. I also had lots of blood taken for various tests. After the doctors appointment we made lots of calls to tell more family and some very special people. I called Lori Leigh Alderman first to let her know and Nick called Aaron Jongko. This was supposed to be done on a huge three way call including Katie Button, but Nick messed that up. Oh well. Everyone seemed very happy and by far the best phone call was with Tyler Parker. He was so excited for us and asked to speak with both of us. Everyone sent their best wishes and it was wonderful to hear from everyone that is so far away. Since our last post I have been having odd cravings. Most of them are sour cravings and for some unknown reason I really want coffee. I don't even care for coffee that much. I currently cannot stand the sight of any type of chicken, which is weird because a week ago, all I really wanted was some KFC. I am also sleeping like it is my job. I get at least one nap a day but it winds up being more like two. Our next doctors appointment is September 15 and we will hear the heartbeat for the first time!
Today was kind of a sad / silly day with a story that I felt I had to share. I have been eating a lot of salads lately...mostly because of the dressing (a raspberry vinaigrette that I cannot get enough of for some reason) and today for the first time, I cried over what Nick would say is nothing. I went to make both of us a delicious salad for lunch. On these salads, I usually put fresh mushrooms. As I went to get them out of the fridge, I pulled my hand back quickly as I suddenly felt very nauseous over the mushrooms. I shut the door and told Nick what had happened, but that I would be more then happy to cut the mushrooms for him if he really wanted them. He was understanding and said not to worry about it. As I continued to make the rest of the salad I suddenly became very sad and started to cry. When Nick asked what on earth I was crying about I told him, "I don't want to not like mushrooms. I love mushrooms and I am sad that they made me sick." Silly I know, and I hope my taste for mushrooms comes back, because that upset me so very much!
This pic is the second picture we took. I am six weeks along in this picture and our due date is March 28, 2009!So, I dragged Nick to Babies R Us today. The reason for this trip? We had been discussing how many things a baby needs and Nick did not believe me on how much crazy stuff was out there. We wound up at the store so that he could see how many items were there for babies. I don't think I have ever seen his eyes so big. There was plenty of things that we know we will not need, but the shock was still there. I don't remember exactly which day it was, but Nick had his first baby dream. It was about changing stinky diapers. We have made lots of phone calls from when we found out to now to tell family the good news. However, we only told our moms, dads and sisters. We also told Grammaw and Papaw Disney as well as your cousin Cori. The first person that was told was my mother. She shrieked in my ear, and from another country said she just knew it. Our best reaction so far was from Auntie Sarah. I don't know if the sound that she made could ever be duplicated, but needless to say she was very very happy. We have also taken on the daunting task of finding a doctor. It is not really easy when we don't know anyone in the area and have to rely on what our insurance company says. We do have a doctors appointment set for August 20, 2009 at 3 pm with Doctor John Duke. This was a change in our original appointment because Nick got his training class schedule and would not be able to make it to the first appointment. Looking forward to that day!
