WW – 7 Weeks + 1 Day

February 18, 2009 by Elaine


Sorry this picture is really blurry, but I think you get the gist! : )

I felt the need to take two tests just to make sure and since the digital one came “free” in the box with the other two, I figured I’d take it too and actually see the word “Pregnant.” And that we did!

My parents were here the night we found out and it was the only time we’ve been able to tell them in person, so that was cool.

We are pretty excited and the title of this post is how pregnant I am, as of today.

The nausea comes in waves and so far I crave smoothies and fruity things in general. My first appointment and sono are a week from tomorrow.

We are praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby. Won’t you please join us?

And yes, all of you who left a comment on this post about being pregnant, you were right! : )
