5 weeks, 4 days

I am 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant...and luckily, I don't have too many typical symptoms. I am probably speaking too soon, but so far - no morning sickness. Now watch - it will hit me like a ton of bricks this week. :) My naps are a daily requirement (nothing new there). 

We spent our Memorial Day weekend in Lexington for Matthew and Lindsey's wedding. It was beautiful and we had a great time. We stopped in Cincinnati to see Blake and Sarah (and their new puppy, Floyd). It was great to see friends...but, again, killing me not to share the news!

I've heard of "baby brain" and I'm not sure when it officially hits. This may just be associated to the color of my hair...but last week I was driving to school and I came up to a stoplight. Apparently, despite the light being green, I stopped. I sat there and then as the light turned yellow - realized that I had just stopped at a green light for NO reason. I'm sure the people around me were VERY confused.

I have been reading my baby books! Of course, What to Expect When You're Expecting is a classic and very informative! I also read Jenny's McCarthy's book, Belly Laughs. It was SO funny, but also brutally honest (and a little scary). Tyson is even reading a book for expectant Dads! I'm proud of him.

We will see what this week brings! I have an interview tomorrow...wish me luck! 

We have a SECRET...

Yes, it's true...we have a secret and it's killing me! We found out yesterday that we our expecting a baby in January! I'm terrible at lying and even worse when I have to keep something a secret from the people I love. This is my outlet for the next 6-8 weeks. (wow, that seems like forever)

I decided to take a test at 6:30am yesterday morning, while Tyson was still asleep. The first test was a cheapy but I thought I saw a faint line, so I took a digital test...which quickly said: "PREGNANT." Obviously, I was very excited, but maintained my composure as I went to wake Tyson up. He was elated and called in for a "personal day" so we could enjoy the day together.  It seems crazy to think that in 8 months - we will be PARENTS! Wow!!
