How it all began...


Last Wednesday night after leaving the gym, I wasn't feeling quite right so I took a home pregnancy test. Within seconds it was positive! I immediately called Nathan, who was working in Columbus, Ohio and told him the news.... luckily he was at an Irish pub at the time. About an hour later I took another test, just in case the first one was broken. Positive. The next day when Nathan came home, I showed him the two tests and he said I shouldn't have bought a digital one so we went to the store and bought two more... both still positive! So, we went out to dinner to celebrate.

On Tuesday we had our first Dr.'s appointment. Dr. Jordan confirmed that we conceived on December 28th while in the wine country in Sonoma, California (the picture above). He also told us the expected due date, September 20, 2008. He preceded to tell us what to expect and what we needed to do and not do in the upcoming months. Nathan pulled out his list of about 20 questions that he researched at work. A few great ones were.... Can she still ride in the side car of my motorcycle? Can she still go to concerts? And my favorite... can she go to a wedding that I'm in in Carmel on September 20th (THE DUE DATE). After our very long appointment, we went out for sushi. Ordering sushi is very different since I can not have raw fish. At dinner Nathan pulled out his list of names.... Yes, he has already started researching names and I am only 5 weeks pregnant. It was very sweet. Our next appointment is February 15th when we will have a sonogram to see the heartbeat.
