5 Weeks

We are so thrilled to be expecting! Thanks to Melissa Wilding, we had this adorable announcement to show off our exciting news!

I went to the Doctor on Friday and had a blood pregnancy test done just to make sure all was well. They told me that I was very much pregnant! My smile went on for days! The nurse helped me with my "time line". I am due on September 30th. Hello... does that not seem like centuries away? And I am currently 5 weeks! Our first ultrasound is on March 2nd. At that point they should be able to see little babies heart beat! I can't believe the changes that are taking place right in my body. Granted, the baby is only the size of the tip of a pen, BUT I was shocked to learn that in the late stages of week 4 and early stages of week 5, tiny arms and legs called buds begin to develop! And this week, baby develops his/her heart! Today is the first day I have even felt nauseous. I have been continuing to exercise, eat healthier and I'm feeling great! I do, however, already feel bloated! Like I have this pooch that has been there since I found out I was pregnant. I haven't gained any weight, but I do have this nuisance of bloating. Any ideas?

Since we found out we were pregnant, Stefan has become SO excited. He is always talking about our baby... and putting his hand on my belly. Even though I asked him to wait to tell people, he has already told pretty much everybody. Gotta love him. He is such a child (:

I waited to tell my Mom because I wanted to surprise her for her birthday. Although, I couldn't wait til her birthday so I sent her present early and this is some video my dad took of her opening it!
