There's a Little Nugget in there!!

We know you're in there little nugget! I took the BIG test on June 6th, 2012 and found out there really was a reason I was feeling all weird. At the moment we were so EXCITED, but I thought I miscarried so I was feeling a bit unsure how to feel about it for a few days. Brandon wasn't worried at all - what a guy! AND sure enough few days of being stabbed with needles cleared it all up and I had an ultrasound to confirm the little nugget was still ALIVE on June 14th. I was just 6 weeks along. Yay! We called Nana and Papa on Father's Day to tell them the big news and they were SO EXCITED TOO!

So far I have been having some bleeding (seems to run in the family) but all is well and the little Shellhart is still doing just fine. All cozy in there and seems to want to stick around. So I have been put on pelvic rest which means I can't lift anything over 20 lbs, no sex (ha ha!) and no heavy exercising. I called the nurse the other day just to find out this also means no tubing down the river. :( It also happens to be 80 degree's out today which is rare in Washington - boo! I am trying to avoid caffeine until I am off pelvic rest, but that actually hasn't been an issue since soda sounds awful.

So while we WAIT to announce the big news to everyone else, I'll write a few of my favorite little things and not so favorite little things about the little sweet demon Shellhart inside of me :)

How far along? 7 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 3 lbs! *gulp*
Pants fit? Yep, my pants still fit.
Pregnancy symptoms: Nausea, but no vomiting - peeing A LOT - tired all the time, I take lots of naps - cravings, cravings, cravings.
Sleep? I am getting up A LOT at night to pee and having strange dreams. SO no - I am soo tired.
Best moment this week: Telling my close family and friends about the baby and getting to see the baby's heart beat on the ultrasound! *whew*

Movement: Nope
Food cravings: Strawberries, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, PIZZA (ate a half of a large pizza the other night!) yikes

Looking forward to: the 12 week mark when I don't have to keep it secret anymore!
Last Doctor Visit Update: I have had two doctor visits and two ultrasounds already since I have had two 'gushing' episodes, but the baby is just fine. :) The Midwife thinks it is just my cervix being sensitive.
