230 Days and Counting

They say the average pregnancy lasts 280 days if you count from the first day of the last cycle you had. Well today, that means I have approximately 230 days to go (give or take like 14 days). Today, I'm at day 50. It's a very special day because that means I've now gone a full day past my previous pregnancy, so for me, that's a very exciting thing! I'm still feeling good, though I have a feeling once I actually go to the doctor 3 weeks from today, I'll be changing the 'baby ticker/widget' that's on the blog. I highly doubt I'm really considered 7 weeks yet. Maybe more like 4 or 5. I still have cramping here and there throughout the days, but I've been told that's normal and have a friend who's pregnancy was exactly like mine is now, and we both went through the same thing. It's exciting getting closer to the first appointment! And then we get to go on a 3 week vacation which will be awesome too.

Here is my glider. I got it at a friend's garage sale for a great price, so I'm excited to have my first piece of nursery furniture.

Today

Well, according to the 'baby ticker' and things I've been told, I'm 6 weeks today. I just need to make it one more week and I will have passed my last pregnancy! I received flowers from 'Auntie Megan and Uncle Nathan' today!! I was so excited! Usually, when flowers are delivered to the house, it's because they got the wrong street. I have to tell them, 'Sorry, this is 732 RIDGE, not RUGBY.' and it always makes me sad. But today, the flowers were for me!!

Aren't they just gorgeous?!

And then my mom bought me some really pretty yellow flowers and Derek bought me really pretty purple flowers on Monday :) They are below.

I thought it was so neat how they bought the exact same flowers, but they were different colors. They go so nicely together.

The Fun Begins

Today my mom bought me a stuffed Thumper rabbit. It is just too cute. I feel fine so far, but I know that's because I haven't gotten very far into the pregnancy yet. I made my first appointment today too, so that was the first step. It is set for October 21 at 9 a.m. This is the day before Derek and I leave for vacation. I'm so excited!

I will post pictures of the toy my mom bought, my glider, and a few other things as soon as I figure out how to post pictures :)

Bad turns to Good

It's hard to believe that next week would have been my 20 week appointment and ultrasound. It's been getting harder the closer this time has come. I was dreading not being pregnant again and being at the 'we should be finding out what we're having right now' stage.

Well, now it is time to put all the sad thoughts behind me. Yesterday, I got the positive reading I'd been praying for on the pregnancy test! I started crying uncontrolably after I stared at the two pink lines for about 5 minutes not believing what I was seeing. I am so happy! Of course, nobody will be reading this post for a few more months and most people won't even know about it for that long either, but I had to share anyway. I think I'm only 2 weeks along, but we'll know more when I have my first appointment in a month. I'm so happy that it happened so soon.
