Week 6

Hello, hello week 6!  Everything is going along swimmingly and I'm gearing up for a couple final exams tomorrow as I finish my neuro and psych blocks.  We had our first doctors appt this past Monday!  It wasn't the most exciting but they did warn of us that :) It was just a screening appointment really... they checked my urine, drew blood, and took an extremely long history of both of us.  I checked all my labs when I got back to the hospital and they all look good :)  Most excitingly though, we got to schedule our first ultrasound as well as our first appt w/ the doctor we chose!! She was a med student when Dad was a resident.  I had wonderful recommendations from a friend and a client of Andy's also told him that she's great.  We're looking forward to meeting her Dec 19th!  We are so pumped for our first ultrasound Nov 29th :) I will be 7w7d then so we should be able to see a tiny little body and hear a fast little heartbeat.

We are planning on telling my family this weekend when we go home! Hopefully Friday night because I might bust if not.  The gameplan is to convince the fam to order chinese food and use the remaining fortune cookies.  If everyone is not amenable to that, I do have a cute Christmas ornament that I purchased the Grandparents (yes, david and jackie :)) as well as this super sweet poem that I found online.  Hopefully the fortune cookies work out but if not, no big deal :)  I am just SO excited for them to all know.  It is impossible for me to keep a secret and I feel like I am lying to everyone.  I have been exhausted and everytime my Mom calls she asks if she woke me up... which she usually has but I deny it cause I'm not one to usually nap during the afternoone :)

One person in my family has already found out... Cam! He texted me on Sunday asking if a pregnancy test wrapper he had found in my bathroom was mine... oops! haha, I told him indeed it was and to please keep his lips sealed :) Christie knows, as well as her Mom, plus some of Cam's friends.  We plan on telling Andy's family over Thanksgiving whenever we go up there.  As far as my extended family, I think I would prefer to keep it under wraps til Christmas time but I have a feeling my Mom will struggle with that :)  It is my Granddad Hamilton's bday this weekend though so if we see him, we may go ahead and share the big news.
