more thoughts

August 26, 2010

I have felt pretty good today. I stopped taking my allergy medications until we see the doctor next week because a couple articles I read online say that it’s not good, especially in the first trimester. So I’ve noticed an affect of that – lots more sneezing and itchy eyes. Other than that I have a headache today and I just feel really hungry. It’s so strange because just 2 days ago I wouldn’t have resorted the cause of any of these things to anything but now I know it’s because I’m pregnant. I want to be extremely cautious throughout my pregnancy to eat healthy foods and allow myself to eat more, or whenever I’m hungry, but try not to binge on junk food. This may be easier said than done but I think if I’m cautious of it that will helpJ

Another thought in my head is that maybe I should take another test. Maybe the first two weren’t right. Weird huh? Even though I had 2 positives that there’s still a doubt in my mind? Maybe it’s my husband’s pessimism rubbing off on meJ

We have scheduled our first 2 doctor’s appointments. I will be going to Dr Graves here in Springfield. Our first appointment is next Thursday, September 6^th, for paperwork and blood work, and then the follow Friday, September 10^th, I will see the doctor. I’m excited for that confirmation and to talk about some of my concerns and things I should or shouldn’t be doing.

I’ve also started brain storming how we will tell our families. We are flying to Denver, CO to see Kirsten next weekend and the whole family will be there so I think that will be a great opportunity to share our news. Now I haven’t quite figured out how we should tell Jimmy’s family. We won’t see them in person until a few weeks after that, the weekend of the 19^th of September, so I’m not sure if we want to hold off until then or tell them on the phone or Skype. We will see I suppose….we know they will all be so excited and I’m dying to share the news!
