It has been a bit since I have been on here. In that time I have been busy with school and finishing up clinical...I just can't seem to get in the groove to want to do anything at all. This semester isn't hard or really that demanding at all and I just seem to not be able to get into it, thank goodness it is almost over! We also had our first appointment with the OB doctor. The appointment was on Monday and she figured that I was right about 6 weeks along and so she decided to wait to do an ultrasound until I was 8 weeks, so the ultrasound is two Mondays from now. That will be pretty exciting! So this week I have been feeling pretty crappy...I truly thought that maybe I would skip the whole feeling sick thing, but apparently I'm not. I haven't actually barfed but I have had horrible bouts of nauseousness, but it comes with the territory I guess! Other than that I have been really exhausted and a bit emotional, but nothing Steve hasn't been able to handle...lol!!
Actually speaking of Steve he has been super!!! He went with me to my Dr. appointment and he has been really great at helping out and helping me when I am not feeling the best. Well since I have an essay that is due tomorrow for school and I am not finished with it, I will be going and will return soon!

Everyone Knows!!
SO I missed getting on here yesterday! As of Wednesday night, pretty much everyone knew the big NEWS!! Steve just couldn't hold it any longer...lol. Although I didn't think I was ready to tell everyone, I am super relieved that it is done. Everyone had very positive reactions and it was really good to hear all the positive responses. I am still extremely overwhelmed (but excited too!) but I think that it will get better since I have people to talk to about it. My sister in-law, Sarah, is also pregnant (about 12 weeks) and she called today to congratulate us. We talked about what kinds of things the beginnings of pregnancy has put her through, what I am likely to experience, and different advice and questions to ask my obstetrician. I think that it will be really neat that we will have children only a couple months apart and be able to experience certain milestones together (somewhat). It will also be nice that during holidays or just time we visit each other that our children will be around the same age to play together and be in the same "stages" of life...even taking family vacations together could be pretty neat!
Something that I have been having such a hard time with is that we are going to be so far away from all of our families. It will be a big adjustment because both Stephen and I grew up so close to our families and our child isn't going to have that. I mean I saw my grandparents close to daily, but definitely weekly and just can't imagine a child only seeing his/her grandparents only a couple times a year. I know everything will work out and it won't be so bad, but it still is hard to not think about. I told Steve last night that we will just have to buy a cheap house so we can have more money to travel!! He was okay with that...lol!
As far as the pregnancy goes, I won't really know my due date until my appointment on November 6th, but from what I have figured it should be around the end of June or beginning of July. I haven't really been sick or even nauseous, but my boobs are super big and hurt SO bad!! I also have been more tired than normal, which I hear will get really bad in a few weeks, along with being extremely nauseated and quite possibly puking up the little food I find appetizing enough to eat. Man, the things I have to look forward to!
Tomorrow I start back in clinical after a really long fall break. I only have 64 hours left to log and am extremely excited that within a couple of weeks that will be all done. Then I can start working more and also have more time to rest, if needed. I have a feeling it will be beneficial for me to put in as many hours as I can, so I have more money to buy cute little baby things...yay!

Sinking In...a little
So yesterday was a rather interesting day for me, with lots of up and downs. Steve has been ecstatic since he saw the plus sign on the test...not just a bit excited but ECSTATIC!!! I am glad that his reaction was not negative, but HOW WELL he reacted has been a bit overwhelming as well. I was excited, yet couldn't imagine telling everyone and how much our lives are going to change. We thought if our plans on moving to Texas would change!?! We decided that our plans should stay the same and still move because it is whats best for our family....so Texas is still in the plans.
Now the topic of telling our families. My idea was to wait until graduation and tell everyone together and have a few more things figured out before we tell everyone...well Steve wasn't so keen on that idea! He wanted to shout from a roof-top and tell everyone right then...I wasn't so comfortable with that! Well after much talk and much debate HE called and gave the news to my mom. It wasn't so bad and now I am relieved that we did tell her. Now it is the job of calling everyone else and telling them! We will probably be checking more names off the list tonight when he gets home...God help me!
So I bought the "What to Expect When Your Expecting" book yesterday so I can read up on all the dos and don'ts of the next nine months as well as, all the weird, crazy things that my body will be doing. "YAY" I called and scheduled my first pre-natal visit for November 6th! That at least makes it seem a little more for real, although I'm sure I will believe it's real in as little as a few weeks when I can smell as well as Mabel and Shea (our two dogs) and am barfing all day! The things to look forward too ;)

WOW!!
I have thought about starting a blog for a while and always had excuses like I don't have time or I wouldn't know what to write about....Well here I am and I feel that I will have PLENTY to write about. I will be graduating in December and will be an RN, Stephen and I will possibly be moving, and we found out today that I am PREGNANT!! It was a big surprise to us and we have mixed and overwhelming feelings about it. So I think with all this going on I won't run out of things to write about! So our journey begins...
