Christmas Morning - December 25, 2008-- Care free-- like couldn't be better- but what we didn't know -- oh how much we didn't know. I had a countdown-- as do some people who want a baby do-- to the period day-- that would be the day after Christmas-- I antagonized over taking a pregnancy test on Christmas Eve-- and then wrapping it up for Chet as a surprise-- but then decided against-you know it could be negative-- and that would put me in a crappy Christmas mood! So I ignored my counting and we had a wonderful Christmas-- although Chet asked about it-- and wondered if we had any "pee sticks" in the house- nope!!
The day after Christmas we had a few errands to run-- and once again Chet asked about it-- we finally stopped at the drug store-- I ran in and got one-- Oh how I love to pee on a stick!
I got home-- did my business and left it in the bathroom- went about doing more errands around the house-- Finally it was just about time for Chet to leave for work and he asked what it said-- I couldn't look-- he looked and gave me a great big hug and told me I was gonna be a Mommy! I was soo excited-- and soo scared all at the same time!
Look a plus! Not a minus-- that means Plus One!!!
We decided not to tell any one-- as I was soo scared that it might not work out and couldn't deal with having to tell people anything went wrong! Over the next couple of weeks waiting for my doctors appointment was torture-- with nothing to make me feel pregnant-- I took alot of pregnancy tests-- I loved seeing those lines!!!
Each line made me feel at ease -- if only just for a day or so!!
New Yearse Eve came and went-- and keeping my mouth shut about our wonderful news was all to easy for me-- I was content with it being just mine and Chet's secret!!
New Years 12 midnight-- I made it-- don't I look impressed-- and feeling crappy!
Yup-- I feel like crap-- want to puke! So watch out!

Finally the day of my doctors appointment-8 weeks along- I was soo nervous-- as I usually am going to the doctor-- and I fully expected them to tell me nope-- just kidding-- there is nothing in there (this idea in my head hasn't changed-- weird I know-- I'm surprised every time!) But nope sure enough--we were even able to find a tiny little heart beat-- it was the best thing to hear -- and to watch Chet's face-- as he heard his baby's heart beat for the first time was amazing!! We wanted to take home the heart beat machine-- and just sit and listen forever!
We got our due date as August 29th 2009-- wow that will be hot and I immediately began planning my cool down ideas-- kiddie pool-! Oh ya!
I came very skilled at running-- quickly in heels to the work bathroom -- switching on the fan and puking -- in my very quiest puking voice!! I'm sure the office thought-- wow she goes to teh bathroom alot-- but no one knew my secret yet!!
Chet just about broke the news out early -- we had been to a basketball game with his family -- and earlier that morning he had decided to refer to the baby as Vermin-- We had lunch with his family and Chet told his mom -- that our first kid we're gonna name Vermin! Well after the basketball game and lunch -- we were at Chris and Candace's having wonderful cookies (I was starving !!) and me and Chet were boxing-- Chet told me -- I'll kick your butt and Vermin's butt-- Verena -- quickly caught on and said-- what Vermin? We played it off-- and I think we fooled her!!
Finally we had planned to tell everyone on Valentines Day -- 12 weeks along-- as the day was there to go to our parents house and give them these wonderful little valentines I got more and more scared-- and didn't want to say anything-- i figured at some point it would become obvious- or else we could just show up with a baby! Surprise! But we ended up telling people-- and it was a fun way to do it-- I think they were all surprise-- although my mom had suspected-- with all my frequent trips to the bathroom and chubby tummy! (Mother's know best!)
Finally here we are at 20 weeks-- wow how time has flown!
We had our ultrasound-- and if i could figure out how to scan things I'd put the picture on-- but it looks like our little Vermin-- is a boy! Little Man Child!!
Here I am at 20 weeks! Oh how huge I'm getting!
