So I know people have different opinions on when to share the news. I know for me if something bad were to happen in this pregnancy I would need the support of my friends and family to help me get through it. Your Dad and I have chosen to tell our closest friends and family the phenomenal news.
I first told our puppy as she was the only one home with me when I found out. "Charlie girl, you're going to be a big sister." She looked at me, blinked and then fell back asleep. With Charlie still being a baby herself (she's almost 7 months old), there are quite a few changes coming up.
Next I told your daddy. I bought a t-shirt that says "Future Canucks Fan" on it and was wearing it when he came home from work. He was so happy! I think it sank in after asking me if I was serious. I told him yes and he told me that he knew this was going to be the month. Of course he did. You're Daddy knows everything ;)
Your Grandparents on both sides know and are super thrilled for all of us. I bought a couple of picture frames that say "Grandchildren are gifts from above" and put a note where the picture goes saying "You can change this note with a picture of me in October, 2013. Love Baby Russell".
I seriously cannot believe that in 8 short months I will get to hold you in my arms, rock you to sleep and sing you sweet lullabies.
Symptoms this week:
Everything from last week (except the headaches are a lot better)
Holy acne batman
Hungry - mainly for spicy foods
Littlest Russell this week you are the size of an Orange Seed.
Love & Kisses,
Mom

then comes marriage...then a house...a dog...then a BABY!!!
So I found out on Monday (It's now Friday) that I am pregnant. Let's let that sink in for a moment. Holy crap. Yes. I. Am. Pregnant!!!
I had an appointment with my specailist in Vancouver for my Endometriosis and wanted to take a test before I went even though I was only 8 Days past ovulation. I woke up at four in the morning and really had to go pee. I thought I should test with first morning urine so off I went to the bathroom cell phone in hand (to use as a light). I took the test and with my cell phone I couldn't see a second line. I thought, "Ok, It's negative, but that's ok because it's still super early." I looked again four hours later at eight when I was getting ready to go to my doctor's appointment. Holy crap there was a second line. I didn't want to get my hopes up too high though because I've heard that you shouldn't look at a test after ten minutes as a negitive could look like a positive from an evapouration line.
I tested the next day (Tuesday) and the next day and the next day after that. And all four tests came back with a faint second line. The last three tests I made sure to look at within the 10 minute time frame :)
Symptoms for three weeks pregnant:
Tender breasts
Frequent urination
Headaches
Fatigue
Sense of smell is through the roof
Littlest Russell, you are the size of a poppy seed.
Love & Kisses,
Mom
