Wow, thanks everyone for the reassurance, prayers, and kind words. That means a lot to me and has really helped me. I am going to put it out of my mind as best as I can and I'll keep reminding myself that worrying does nothing good for me or my baby. I appreciate y'all so much!
Well, I went to the pregnancy center on Thursday and got proof of pregnancy and started getting the ball rolling with getting a doctor. I go back to the pregnancy center this coming Wednesday, and then two weeks and a day from Wednesday I will get an ultra-sound and get to hear the heart beat and see my little bean
Yay! I will be 8 weeks by then.
Yesterday morning(Friday) I weighed 210. I haven't gained or lost any weight for 3 weeks, but my pants are feeling tighter.
So, I totally went crazy on Friday feeling the need for more room in my house and just started throwing stuff away (very unlike me) and getting the unbelievable urge to rearrange all the furniture in my house! Of course, I know better than to move anything heavy so I just took all the books off of the book shelves (three bookshelves loaded with books) and put them in boxes. I also started packing up Erik's toys to move to the other room. Chris got home and was like, WHAT?! He was such a good sport about it! He moved all the furniture that I was wanting moved and helped me get the house clean. He took Erik to his brother's house for the evening since I was having some friends over for dinner (without children and hubbies.) Fun night!
Today we continued with organizing and rearranging rooms. Erik's moving into the spare room and his old room will now be Baby's room (...Oh, my husband calls Baby, "Nemo" since in the movie they say that it means, "Without a name!" LOL...so if I refer to Baby as Nemo...this is the reason for that!") Erik is graduating from crib to big boy bed tonight. WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!! I've seen the trouble that my friends and family have had with this transition, so I'm not exactly looking forward to it. I hope it will go well.
Tonight we are going to Chris' brother's house (his identical twin) for dinner and to hang out with some friends. I was sort of hoping to stay home and hang with Chris, but he really seems like he's looking forward to going so I guess we are.
