The Cat Is Out of the Bag

Well, it is official, I think anyway!  We are pregnant!  After 3 positive pregnancy tests, I'm sort of starting to believe it.  We are elated about the news and can't wait to hold a precious little baby in September (the 22nd).  After reading so much about prenatal care, I've not found an OB in Little Rock who will see you before the 8th week.  Yesterday marked the 6th week, with the baby being the size of a lentil bean (we moved up from a sesame seed last week)!  Several of my friends have recommended babycenter.com for information and weekly updates on the baby's development.  

So far I feel pretty good.  I've had some food aversions (like chocolate....and anyone who knows me knows something is really wrong when I don't have my daily dose of chocolate) and a bit nauseated in the evenings.  John has been really sweet, and when he has been not so sweet, he sent flowers to make up for it, with a poem attached!  

As for cravings, I'm craving salt.  We have a jar of pickles from Sams that I went to get into last night.  They were expired and I almost sent John out for more!  I decided to wait on making him do crazy things for me until I absolutely must have it!  We've told pretty much everyone now and are so glad.  It was not something that we could have kept to ourselves, we were so happy, we wanted to share!!!
