After several weeks of being nauseous, a fellow coworker convinced me to take a pregnancy test and I found out we are having our first baby! Matt didn't believe it a first, but after two more positive tests we both thought it was pretty likely. I have had an "unofficial" ultrasound that confirmed correct placement and cardiac movement of the baby (sorry no copies of it), so we are now preparing for our new addition. Our first "official" ultrasound that will estimate our due date is scheduled for April 23.
Matt is so excited that he has already bought the baby its first clothes. He bought 6 Auburn onesies, so I guess he is determined for the baby will be an Auburn fan. He told me tonight that the baby needs a remote control car that it can fit on and he will duct tape it down to the car and control it. He has also mentioned that he hopes the baby likes GI Joes as he has saved his from childhood. I tried to explain that babies don't exactly come out playing, but he will catch on soon enough. He has been really cute about the whole thing.
I have not have the opportunity to be so excited as I spend a lot of time feeling sick. Everyone says it will pass and I cannot wait for that to happen. It is really hard to eat healthy when most food is not appealing. I have discovered and over the counter medication for nausea called Emetrol, which is safe during pregnancy. It has become my best friend along with the box of Cheerios on my night stand.
