Feeling Good

It is unbelieveable how good I feel to be pregnant! I am so blessed to have no morning sickness at all so far. Although the other symptoms are trying to get me! The fatigue has definitely set in, I'm in bed by 6:00 everyday. Soreness and cravings have set in, but all are pretty easy to deal with. Teaching first grade requires me to be on my feet and moving a lot. There isn't any down time. The lord really blessed me to be able to work so easily while beginning a pregnancy. We go to the doctor on Wednesday and we are hoping for a heartbeat! They say sometimes it takes longer to hear, but we are hoping...

Telling the Secret...

This afternoon, we decided to go ahead and tell only immediate family our news. First our parents, then our siblings. I went to my mom's house with a wrapped "grandmother" angel. Before I got through the door she said, "Are you pregnant?" How does she do that!?!!?! I never understand how she knows exactly what I'm feeling or what is going on with me. I guess that is why we are so close! Then the time was followed with hugs and advice on what was to come. Chad's mom was equally as thrilled and I think my dad was just in shock!! I called my sister next. She answered the phone and I said "Hey Aunt Brittany!" It didn't take her too long to get it! I know she is equally as thrilled. We cannot wait to tell our friends and the rest of both our families our secret...

The Announcement!!!

I've always been told to wait until you are 6-8 weeks pregnant to announce it to the world. If you know me at all, you know this is next to IMPOSSIBLE for me! I'm not sure what the rules are with babies, but I know we can't go another day without announcing we are pregnant!!! I thought if I started my blog, it would help me deal with the excitement and temptation to tell others until it's time! Chad and I are just so excited! In my head I had the best plan to tell Chad we were expecting. It was all carefully thought out for months. Romantic dinner, daddy book, positive test wrapped up as a gift... However, when the test came back positive (at 5:30 in the morning) I just burst into the bedroom waking him up with a "IT'S POSITIVE!!!" So much for plans... Chad assures me that no matter the way he found out, it doesn't matter. He is thrilled either way! Stay tuned for the growth of baby Bridges! :)
