There is a Bun in my Oven! Weeks 3-4ish

The Day We Found Out
December 13, 2013

Well guess what?!? I'm knocked up! Merry Christmas to the Pemberton's! As I am writing this current blog this is our little secret. It's VERY early and I haven't been to the doctor yet so mum's the word! Get it? Mum?

In an effort not to forget any of the funny little details that I am sure come along with pregnancy, I want to try and blog throughout this crazy time in our lives. You never know, one day our kid may come across this and think it is somewhat comical and it will just affirm the fact that his/her parents are weird and once were super awesome cool people before they were even born...here is to hoping!

So here is the scope. Last night I went with Mom and Kaytie bridesmaid dress shopping. The whole time I had a strange feeling that I might be pregnant, kinda, maybe, but I didn't want to take a test, because every time I take one it's negative. Well that just no fun. I would rather buy clothes then continually pee on my money! Just sayin... And yes I know, my days are limited on spending money on myself! I will cope I imagine! Anywho, I get home from the fun of playing dress up (I found the most fabulous dresses that remind me of Downton Abbey! I hope she picks one of those!) and can hardly sleep because I know I am going to take a test in the morning. At this point I haven't even mentioned this to TJ, I don't want to get his hopes up.

Cue morning wake up music and I am up before 6 am to take a test that could alter the course of our lives FOREVER!!! Wham, bam, thank you mam and I get a positive result that said:

For the record, I think these types of pictures are gross!! May I remind you...people PEE on those things! EWWWWWW! And yes I know, I am going to have to get over my weird gross out factors because babies are pretty disgusting...

I had dreamed of telling TJ in some cute way, but I was too excited so I woke him up and told him immediately! He smiled really big then asked me if he was really awake!

I had a well woman appointment already scheduled for that day, so I start to head to the doctors office. They don't open until 9, but I had to be on my way well before that since we live in the boonies. I called in the car (don't worry, we have hands free) and told them about the positive test. The lady on the phone put me on hold and talked to the doctor. They rescheduled me for a full OB work up for January 14. JANUARY! So I start to get teary and ask what I am supposed to do! She said she could have the nurse call me. Gee thanks! I can't believe people can just walk around this world with some microscopic thing growing inside them and not be given any instructions until week 8!! It's really kind of creepy when you consider it.

I stopped for breakfast trying not to panic, the reality is kind of sinking in at this point I had just told someone besides my husband that we were having a baby. The poor nurse who called me probably wasn't prepared for what happened to her when I answered the phone. My phone rings and it's the nurse. I feel myself starting to cry, because I really had wanted to see the doctor just to feel better about everything, so I pull over. Que tears and crazy woman babble. I start to tell the nurse how I am afraid our baby will have extra fingers and toes because I am addicted to diet drinks and I don't want to do something horrible between now and the doctors appointment and continued to just cry and cry and apologize for crying. That poor nurse! When I made the comment about my fear of extra digits I am pretty sure I heard her say What? on the other end. She said she would send me information right away, but I would be fine! I also asked if I should continually take pregnancy tests to make sure I am still pregnant until my appointment. Yeah, she told me not to do that...

I realized when I got to work, it was pretty easy to focus on work stuff and just get wrapped up in all that jazz and not think about the crazy morning I had just had. Now every time I talked to my hubby it was a different story because we are both very excited.

That pretty much wraps up the day we found out we were having a baby! I came  home ate some pizza, felt awful and went to bed! I will get up in the morning and clean my house and get ready for my mom and aunt to come over for our Christmas baking and pretend that it's just another day! I will say this, if TJ and I can pull off this secret until the 14th of January it will be a miracle. I think we will tell our families on Christmas Eve, just to let them know. Sorry rest of the world you won't find out for a few more weeks!

Wish me luck!

We have a dry erase board on our fridge to leave each other notes. TJ made this one! I not sure if that dude is supposed to be a self portrait or a picture of our kid, but either way it's funny, scary, and cute! :)

Week 4ish

So this is a hard to secret to keep! I want to tell EVERYONE! I am so very excited!! However, I need to tell my family first and it is much to early to announce it to the world. The plan is to tell my family on Christmas Eve when we are all together and I go to the doctor on January 14th to make sure everything is okay and get all the tests done. So I am considering telling people at work the day after that appointment.

A current day in my life looks like this:

• Wake up-Take Vitamins-Look in the mirror and think OMG there is a baby in there
• Go to work- on the drive to work think I hope this seat belt doesn't squish the baby in THERE!
• Get to work walk around think do I look like I am keeping a secret- am I laughing to hard at the word baby-THERE'S A BABY IN THERE
• Eat lunch-think can I eat this what is this what are the RULES- hope my tummy doesn't feel sick and think OMG there is a baby in there-wait is it really a baby or is it like a blob thing-baby is debatable at this point
• Work work work-Smile cuz we're having a baby
• Call my sister on the way home and talk about bridesmaids dresses- think to myself there had better be room for a baby bump cuz THERE IS A BABY IN THERE!
• Get home- eat dinner- tell TJ you're excited cuz we're having A BABY- eat dinner and go to sleep cuz I AM TIRED! 

I don't like this secret! I want to tell my family and friends to they can be excited. Alas, I must have patience. They will find out soon enough and I want to tell them in a cute way so I have to calm my silly self down! Sheesh!

Oh and just for the record! According to the Chinese Baby Calender we are having a girl! We shall see if it's true! :)

Finally to close out week 4 I got this in the mail:

I pretty much have the sweetest nurse ever and it made me cry when I got this in the mail!
