Well, it's officially announced. Erik and I are having a baby!!!!! This picture shows the 6th - 7th week of pregnancy which is about where I am now. (It's not my baby in the above picture, my baby is much cuter I assure you).
So I am totally freaking out. It hasn't even hit me yet. Well except for the hot flashes (am I having menopause???), the heightened sense of smell (I almost barfed when I smelled ciggarettes in Seattle today), the constant hunger (even 3 pieces of pizza couldn't satisfy me last night), and of course the not sleeping (I am WAY too excited).
Erik seems pretty happy. I think he was expecting it to happen later, and not so soon. We only just stopped birth control 3 months ago. That was quick!
All I can think is that I hope and pray the baby is going to be healthy. It's weird how I'm already thinking like a mom. Like I don't care about anything else as long as I know he/she is born healthy. My biggest fear is something going wrong.
But I won't dwell on that. I am very blessed to have a child growing inside of me right now, and I can't wait to start showing and be all cute and pregnant. Ok, I'll be fat and I'll probably waddle, but I can't look at it that way!!
So much for losing 15 lbs. Now we know why it wasn't working....
