Daddy loves you!

I am surely falling deeper in love with my husband as the days pass by. He is so excited about this "appleseed" I have inside of me right now. Before he leaves in the morning for work or before he goes to sleep, he leans down to my belly and rubs it and says, "Daddy loves you". I have informed him that baby won't develop ears until week 6 and they won't begin to hear us until around week 16, but he doesn't care. I wanted to finish watching a movie that we started (Heat) and my husband objected because, "I don't want baby to hear all of that vulgar language". haha!!



So we have been totally debating on when to tell people. He says he wants to tell people NOW because he's so excited and he wants to share it with everyone. "I'm excited! I'm going to have a mini-me walking around". He is over the hills excited! So I'm definitely the scared one out of the two of us to tell people that I'm pregnant now because it's always that WHAT IF something goes wrong, in the back of my mind. Ideally, I would like to wait until I'm past my first trimester before I told anyone but I've come to compromise. I told hubby that we could tell our families on Feb 1. I will only be 8 weeks but that will be our first doctor's appointment and we will have our first ultrasound done. Once the doctors confirm that baby is doing well I think I will feel more confident with telling others. I'm so excited about the ultrasound even though baby will not be all that defined yet but I will be able to see baby.

I think at this point, I'm afraid to get too excited because I know miscarriages are high at this stage. I mean by all means, I think I'm pretty darn healthy. I've been taken prenatal pills even before baby was conceived, and I'm not overweight or anything like that, and I took a physical back in August and everything looked pretty good. So I think my body is in good shape now but I'm just a little nervous. I've enjoyed my daily walking and I also walk on the tracks at the school I work at. The children love when I go to the tracks and they like to run around. Of course I just walk because I'm not trying to do anything too much different than before I was pregnant.

As far as symptoms, nothing yet which is fine by me. My nipples are still sore and sometimes I have lower back pain but that's about it. My cramps come and go but they aren't that major or anything. I hope I keep this up;) Thankfully no vomiting!! I only feel nauseous when I go too long without eating. But I've had that issue even before I became pregnant.

Hubby told me that he talked to his dad today and he felt really bad that he couldn't share the news with him. I told him that I feel bad that I cant share it with my folks either but it's important that we both look at the glass half-full instead of half-empty. It will be only a matter of days before we are able to share the exciting news. I told him that we can change how we react, and we don't have to feel bad, but we can stay positive :) I think I made him feel better. 

I haven't decided when I will take my weekly photos. I think I will start at 6 or 7 weeks. Well baby is now officially the size of an appleseed (today marks week 5). Woo hoo! Last week baby was the size of a poppyseed. YAY!!! Baby is growing...slowly but surely...

Off subject:
