Good news! I'm already at five weeks, and the baby is now the size of an orange seed. Actually, it's not unlike a tadpole, with a rudimentary head and a tail.
It's hard to believe that something the size of an orange seed is changing my body in so many ways. I've had a great week, experiencing some soreness in places I could have never imagined, along with a typical surge of nauseousness around 8 pm every night. Other than that, and being a bit tired, I am doing quite well.
Ryan is still very excited and mentions atleast once a day that he wishes time would pass much faster. His frustration enters when I don't feel well, or cannot eat what he has in mind. I think we'll get used to these changes soon enough.
On a different note, I've had to move my first appointment to November 3rd, based on some changes with our insurance. That being said, I'll be at 11 weeks, so I'll be able to learn alot more by then.
Than you all so much for your well wishes as we encounter the ups and downs of pregnancy! It's definitely been interesting so far....

It's Official!
It's official! For those of you that do not know, we are having a baby! Yes, I said baby. Not a pit bull baby - a real, Nelson baby! Surprise!
In the days leading up to last weekend, I had not been feeling quite myself....a little nauseous, very tired, etc. So, on Sunday, September 14th, I woke up and decided to take a test. Luckily, I had one stashed away...
In literally one second, it said I was pregnant. In disbelief, I asked Ryan to come in and take a look. It was true - it definitely said pregnant. Within minutes, he was calling friends, parents, sisters, etc. so I knew he was okay with the whole thing. My parents, sister, and friends were all thrilled with the news. In fact, they've all been DYING for us to expand our family, so this could not have come a moment too soon for any of them.
I called the doc on Monday and set up my first pre-natal appointment. I became a bit nervous when she said I could come in on October 27th at 1pm. I always dreamed this process worked a little differently, but I am learning to go with the flow. So that being said, on Oct. 27, I have my first appointment and ultrasound. Hopefully by then, Baby Nelson will be large enough to see.
So the journey begins here. I hope to share with you all what I am going through as the weeks progress. So far, pregnancy = queasiness. The smell of certain foods make me queasy. And I can tell my body is doing weird things inside...hmmm.....what's next?
