I have to say, vomitting while at work and then having to wait on customers is not an enjoyable experience. I'm feeling so useless at work. I can't do anything because I'm always feeling sick. Thankfully today was a slow day and I was able to get away with running off the floor a few times. And thankfully my fellow partners picked up my slack and got most of the stuff done for me. I'm realizing now how much I actually do at my job and how much I would like a desk job.
Friday's appointment is looming. I know once we get through it we're going to be ready to start buying baby things. :)

The 'Big' Announcement
Well I decided it was time to make the 'big' annoucement and told everyone on facebook. It's kind of a relief. I'm so bad at keeping secrets. And now my entire extended family knows. The love and support we've recieved from them have been wonderful. It's what I needed, cuz I was starting to regret getting pregnant.
The last couple weeks have been great and horrible at the same time. I got so stressed out, I started regretting being pregnant. But after reevaluating life and talking with Gary, I knew I was just stressed out and being stupid. This is the right decision, no more regrets.
The morning sickness has been worse than ever this week. Vomitting every day, at least twice a day. Thankfully today was better. I wore Sea Bands today, and felt great all day. No sickness at all. :)
We've been talking names a lot lately. We're set on a boys name, but still have about 5 choices for a girl. And we keep thinking of more names that we like. And we can't seem to agree on the best one. Good thing we still have 8 more months to decide. :)
So many friends have come out this week saying that they're pregnant too. I think it's great! Such a large support system for all of it, and the best thing is that my closest pregnant friend is only about 20 minutes away.
1 week from today I get to go to my first doctors appointment. I'm excited and nervous. I just want to know how our little one is doing. I'm so impatient about everything in life, this 8 months is going to take forever!

Morning Sickness
I'm so tired of the morning sickness. I've had a couple of really bad days now and it's just aweful. Everyone I talk to says this probably points to a girl, so I guess in a way it's worth it. ;)
I'm starting to get really anxious about finding out if I'm having a boy or girl but I'm going to have to wait to find out until end of May/beginning of June. I just want to know now! I want to go and buy all the cute clothes that I can, and the crib set, and well everything.
I'm still taking our road trip to Florida at the end of April. I'll be about 3 months along by then so we'll be stopping a lot to pee but I'll live. I am a little nervous about going to far away at that point in the pregnancy. I guess I'll have to discuss everything with my doctor.
Speaking of doctors, I found a new one! It's actually who I originally wanted as my doctor a couple years ago but they weren't accepted new patients. Luckily they were now! So April 1 will be my first real appointment. I can't wait to get in there and see how our little one is developing. Until then, I'm going to make no plans and buy nothing. I don't want to jinx anything.

What a week....
Needless to say this has been the best and worst week of my life. This week was supposed to be happy and full of love and family. Instead it was full of water, in our basement that is. Monday morning we woke up to 5 feet of water in our basement. And from there, things just got worse. We spent our entire day locked in our bedroom to avoid the constant stream of men coming in and out of our apartment, upsetting our animals. Finally by 5:00pm the water was down to about 1 inch and under control.
During this day of the flood, we had our doctors appointment. Let's just say I didn't really like my doctor before, and now I plan to NEVER go back there. I get there, do a urine sample and then go and wait with Gary. The assistant comes in and quietly, without looking at me says "well it's a yes." I take this to mean I'm pregnant. Gary didn't even hear what she said. That moment of joy was lost in her nonchanlence. So then my doctor comes in, with her fake smile. Spends about 3 minutes talking to us. Doesn't really tell us anything just asks if we have questions. Hmmm, you think?! She also goes on to ask what our plans are. Never once being upfront that she doesn't deal with pregnancies. She also doesn't refer us anywhere or give and reccemendations. At the end of the 3 minutes she has the nerve to say she hopes to see us after the baby is born b/c she loves babies. Yea, right.
So the rest of the week was filled with everything that was destroyed in our basement getting replaced. Wednesday was the worst day of all. Maintenance let Lily out. She ran away and I was stuck at work. Thankfully Gary was able to come home to look for her. At one point she came home and the idiot maintenance man saw her and decided to drive his truck at her "to catch her." Hmm, isn't a normal reaction to run AWAY from a truck driving at you?! Yup, that's exactly what my little puppy did. We kept looking for her all night, by 12:30am we decided there was nothing more we could do and we would starting looking again when it was light out. I dosed off on the couch and woke up at 2:30am. I left like I just had to look out the back door, and there was our little one, sitting at the bottom of the porch waiting for us to let her in. That was the biggest relief I have ever felt in my life. I don't know what I would do without my little puppy.
After all of this, we decided we were going to have a sit down meeting with the property manager. We needed to figure out what we could do to get our personal belongings replaced, and we wanted something done since manintenance lost our dog. So far things are looking better. The property manager is fairly reasonable and is working with us as much as possible. We're getting a professional cleaning company in here next week to get the basement sanitized and cleaned out so mold won't grow. Working on getting us into a bigger, 3 bedroom apartment with no extra fees so we can have a room for Baby J and not have to give up our guest room. And we may not have to pay rent for a little while so this all gets sorted out.
Overall we are trying to move past all of this and just enjoy being pregnant. Now if the morning sickness would stop, I could enjoy it more. ;)

Baby Jones is on the way.
Gary and I have been talking for a couple of months about starting our family. In January we decided that we weren't going to move to FL this year, so why not have a baby now? So January 28 I stopped taking birth control. Feb. 28 we had plans for a long weekend away in CT for Gary's birthday and I knew that I was going to be going out and having some Margaritas at Margaritaville. Being the resposible one (ha!) I decided to grab a home pregnancy test and make sure that I wasn't pregnant even though I was still a week early. Surprisingly the test came out positive. Talk about mixed emotions! I was so happy that it happened so quickly, and so surprised that it happened so quickly! We decided to keep going with all the plans and drove down to CT.
So being "Negative Nancy" that I am, after dinner with Mom & Dad J, we went back to the hotel and retested. Again it came out positive. This time I was starting to believe that I actually was pregnant and so we decided to tell both our parents. The next day, we called and setup an appointment to get a test done with the doctor but we couldn't get in until the following Monday. By that Thursday, my "Negative Nancy" feelings were kicking in and I decided I needed to be reaffirmed and tested myself again. Again, a positive result.
So a few days went by, just waiting to meet with the doctor at this point. And then today, we finally got there. The doctor confirmed that yes, I am pregnant and looking at a Nov. 14 due date. That's about all we found out. Now we're in search of a new doctor to carry us through the next 9 months.
We're both excited and looking forward to the year ahead, and all the years after that. I, of course, am hoping for a girl. Gary, of course, is hoping for a boy. We'll see who wins this debate. ;) Oh and we have names choosen for each already. Yup, we're that prepared. :)
