Things that bother me

"Bothering me," is putting it nicely. What I really want to say is "Things that absolutely annoy me to the point I want to kick you." I feel the best way to release some of the tension is to "blog it out." Now, I hate to sound negative, but I have to get this off my chest or I might just explode!
Aly's list of things that are really bothering her:

1. People telling me what to eat when I'm not asking for the advice. Only if I ask you, do I seek your thoughts.
2. People touching my belly. It's not like I have a huge baby bump yet! It's just bloating and fat, so please stay away from it.
3. People judging for those who choose an epidural. Not saying I'm not pro-natural, or pro-drugs. I just haven't decided. Both are great in my book.
4. People asking me what names we've thought about and then giving me weird looks b/c they're not "creative" enough. I didn't ask for your input. And sorry I don't want my child to be made fun of for their whole entire life b/c their parent's wanted them to have some bizarre name to be "different" from everybody else. Who cares.
5. People telling me that my pregnancy is soooo easy b/c I haven't thrown up. I know I've been blessed with a fairly nice pregnancy, but feeling nauseous 24/7 ain't no walk in the park.
6. Wearing anything but my sweats. Any kind of pressure on my lower abs makes me so sick.
7. Sitting for longer than 30 minutes. Same as above, it makes me feel sick if I sit for too long. I guess I have somewhat of a legit reason to lay in bed all day :)
And I think that covers my list. Thanks for listening!

And Baby makes 3!

Yes, that's right. Our family will be growing from 2 to 3. We are so excited for our little one to join us. As of today I am 10 weeks and 3 days in. Our expected due date is April 4, 2011! I found out I was pregnant around the end of July! I must have only been about 2-3 weeks along though. I thought I was further until I went to the Dr.s and he said I was only 6 weeks instead of 8. That was kind of a bummer but I can't complain, I'm just happy our little guy is sticking in there. So far it's been fairly easy...and by easy I mean, I haven't thrown up once. Although I am tired, nauseous, hungry, emotional, hungry and hungry. I never thought I would say this, but I am so sick eating! I need to eat about every 3 hours and it's just become a hassle. But other than those symptoms, life is good.
Is it gross to show the actual pregnancy test? If so, sorry!

And here is our little one at 6 weeks. You have to look really hard to see it!

That tiny white "dot" at the bottom right is our baby!
We just had our 10 week appt a few days ago and was hoping I would get another ultra sound but no such luck. But we were able to hear it's tiny heartbeat on the doppler. It was the greatest feeling in the world to hear that. It's crazy to think that something so tiny already has blood pumping through it and it has a heartbeat. I think I'm addicted to hearing it beat away. Oh and Doc said heartbeat was at 160 and baby sounded healthy :)Happy day! Anyways, that's it for the update.
Oh P.S, one of my best friends is pregnant too! She is 4 weeks ahead of me (lucky) But I'm just so excited that we get to have our babies around the same time! It's been something that we've always talked about, since we were in like 7th grade, and now it's really happening! Congrats to Kelli and Kirk Lindahl.
