6 weeks

This week your heart started beating! 

Today I feel great. I woke up with energy and not sick to my stomach. My goal today is to complete as much as possible until the sickness kicks in the afternoon. Still no change in the tummy area. Internet says I should gain a pound this week and that the baby is now a size of a sweet pea. I will be 11 weeks by the time I see the Doctor, which will make baby about the size of a lime. So I am sure to start growing a bump in the next month.

Am I hoping for a Boy or Girl? Really I would just be happy with a healthy baby. But I've always imagined a little girl so I'm pretty sure this one will be a boy.

What baby names do I like? Too many to choose from. Our top favorites for now are Braden and Savannah.

When will we announce out pregnancy? We told just a few right away and the rest we plan on telling in March after my first ultrasound, around 12 weeks.

Were you trying to get pregnant or did you just get lucky? Little bit of both I guess. We knew we wanted to have kids soon, just didnt think it would happen so quickly.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant? The word WOW pretty much sums it up.

How am I feeling today? Today I feel great, until most likely this afternoon then I will be sick.

Do Over

 Grandma and Grandpa Murray didn't quite believe that you were in there so they requested I get another test with a different looking result just to make sure. So after a few days of waiting, I decided to give in and try again. The results came in so quickly this time I was actually kind of shocked. But there it is in plain writing "pregnant".

Still has not quite sunk in, other then the mild sickness I'm OK. Please don't make me anymore sick then I am now. Mommy loves you, don't make her upset already. (at least wait till you are a teen)

Oh yeah.. and I told a couple more people about you today. I just can't hold it in. Daddy would be so mad if he knew. I told my bosses at work and my very good friend Calix. I don't think I will survive another 6 weeks of waiting!!

Tonight we told our parents the news. Mom Murray didn't believe us at first. Daddy Murray took a few minutes to sink in the information and then cried. Mom Lyman was very excited for another baby and Dad Lyman really didn't believe us and after a few minutes asked again to make sure we were telling the truth. We also told William, I don't know if he was excited at first. He was very worried that we didn't have a "plan". But I promise we do, and anything we don't we will make it up as we go. 

So that's everyone we are telling for now. Except the strangers I meet on the street and can't hide my excitement! Also, today you are the size of a sesame seed. Wow! Tiny huh? Last week you were a poppy seed! Cravings: Chips and salsa, CANT GET ENOUGH. Lots of water, and I always want a "treat" before I go to bed. I am not showing and still feel pretty good most of the time. Sometimes I have a wave of sickness but other then that I'm ok. Lets just pray this continues. 

I also made the first doctor appt today. Your Doctor named Thomas Judd. 

He has delivered over 10,000 babies, so I think you're in good hands. 

So they are making me wait till I am 10 weeks (currently 5 and a day) to go to the doctor so we will be able to hear a heart beat and everything. Get ready for your close up and try not to be camera shy because we want to see and hear you on February 27,2012. We can't wait to see you!

Do you see what I see?

Look close,and I mean really close,  cuz there it is... a second pink line. Guess 7 is the lucky number. Because I have peed on 6 before this all with a negative answer. But this morning I woke up and maybe it was the rain poring outside or the urge to run into the bathroom as soon as most people wake up but the thought popped into my head that I might as well just try another one. The worst it can be is another negative right? And I need to figure out what is going on with me. I am a week late on my period and if I'm not pregnant I need to go to the doctor. So after a little careful aiming and 3 minutes of waiting, I looked. There is was this faint pink line. WHAT!?!?! Then as the emotional girl I am; I began to cry happy tears of course. 

I ran out of the room and woke Zach up. My original plan was to let him sleep in as long as he would like because he worked late at the hospital, but my excitement got to me.  I said "hey, can you wake up for just a minute to look at this?" He stirred awake and said "sure" and before I think he could even wipe the sleepies out of his eye I had shoved the stick in his face and said "you're going to be a dad" Then I began to cry again. 

We embraced as the information sunk in and then continued out Saturday as usual. Eating fruit loops and watching tv. Only 9 more months of this left. We can't wait. 

Baby Lyman is due (I think) in October. 

Wow. I'm. Going. To. Be.A. Mom.
