To All the Blogging World

The real world knows, the texting world knows, the email world knows and the facebook world knows. So I thought it was time that the blogging world know.....we are having a babe. Yeah! We are excited. Excited and scared. But mostly excited.
I am due on 11.4.11. At my first doctor's appointment, I told him that I wanted to go overdue and have it on 11.11.11 I don't know if it's worth it though. But I'm sure as all babies do, it will come when it wants to come.
It's been a long time coming. I've had a few miscarriages so we were pretty excited to hear that this one is looking good. We were excited, but I was a wreck really. In the short walk from the exam room to the ultrasound room, I totally lost it. I was so nervous and I couldn't hold back the nervous tears. (Afterwards, Trent was like, "What is wrong with you? You were freaking me out." He says he hates to see me cry, but he should be use to it, I do it all the time.) Anyways, the Dr. said that everything looked good and he was very reassuring. He said that he could see a rib cage and pelvis and bones and limbs. All we could see was fuzzy gray and whiteness. (If I focus real hard on the ultrasound picture I can see a little tiny tiny baby with a big head). We were grateful the Dr. could see all those good things. The Dr. got really excited when it moved. He said that was a good sign.
According to MY calculations, when I got my first ultrasound I was about 10 weeks, but I measured a little bigger than that. Hopefully that just means that I am a little further along. I hope it doesn't mean that I'm going to have a huge baby with a huge head. Eeek!
I'm 12 weeks now. And all is well. I've been feeling really good. A few weeks ago I had some waves of nausea hit me here and there, but nothing too serious. No puking, no heartburn for me. Tired? Yes. Lots of peeing? Yes. And Trent says that I smell things that aren't there. But they are! Believe me, they are. I've always had a pretty sensitive nose and pregnancy just intensifies it. There are some smells that gross me out and others don't bother me. The ones that I think would, don't and the ones that I think wouldn't, do. I have some lotions that I loved before. Now? Not so in love. So I've put them away for now.
One day during my last pregnancy I was at my sister's house and we were fixing dinner and I walked past some chopped up tomatoes.....I almost lost it. I don't know what it was, but the smell and look and the thought of eating them....Eeeeww. It totally grossed me out. And I still haven't totally recovered from that. So I usually pick tomatoes off of any thing that I'm eating. Besides that, I can't think of anything that makes me sick now. Just random things on random days.
Anyways, I could go on and on. But I'll just say that I'm super excited. It's obviously a great time to be pregnant. Off the top of my head I can think of about 19 ladies that will be having babies in the next few months, including cousins, friends, sisters-in-law, mission companions, volleyball teammates, other Blandingites. It's a great time. It's been a good 12 weeks thus far and I can't wait for the rest. Stay tuned for the coming 28+- weeks for updates on legitimate baby bumps, new smells, crazy cravings, name wars (because Trent and I disagree on most name suggestions) aaaaaand.......if it's a boy or a girl! (Although, I think it would be fun to not know, but I don't think I can curb my curiosity for that long).
