BFP today!!

[caro113]

So today is my daughter's first birthday !!!

I took a test today and got two lines !!!

According to the due date calculator, we're looking at 3 June 2010. How exciting! I've decided the best way (ie the funniest way) to tell DP would be to buy him a car seat for his birthday, which is in three weeks. And I may also include a "big sister" shirt for our daughter

Congratulations!! What a great way to tell dp (will you get him something else too?). Hope you have a joyous pregnancy, look forward to chatting with you, Laura x

HA I didn't .. I broke last night .. I told him I was going to buy him something that we already had and he made the joke "can you buy another baby?" and I said "I can buy another car seat". I really wanted to do the birthday deal but he thought it was more special that I told him on our daughter's birthday. So at least there's that. He joked earlier about me being pregnant so when I told him that I was he didn't believe me. It took a good ten minutes of convincing him and offering to take another test before he believed me. This shouldn't surprise me. When I woke him up at 6am to tell him I was in labour with DD he just said "Okay" and went back to sleep He didn't believe me then either.

It's a good thing too because I'm getting horrible motion sickness and I really can't use the "I don't have my contacts in" excuse much longer. Plus he has off this and next Wednesday and that's the last Wednesday he has off until the 2nd of December! Our midwife only does appointments on Wednesdays and I really want to get those vitamins she has. Plus she has a diet that she puts you on and I want to get on that as soon as possible, especially since it practically eliminates morning sickness. (It doesn't help that we only have one car. And that I don't drive.)

His mother is flying in on Thursday to see DD for the first time. We're going pick her up at the airport with DD wearing a "Big Sister" shirt. Tee Hee

Well now I have to get him something else. Last year I kept saying that I wanted DD to be late and be born on his birthday. He kept saying (as a joke) that I only wanted her to be born on his birthday so I wouldn't have to get him a gift

Wow. These last two posts. We joke a lot.

Yes, I will!! I'm not sure if I have to convert it myself (bc I'm vegetarian turning vegan .. actually, I'm pretty much just vegan now) or if she gives it to me converted, but I will be taking notes, so I will make sure to tell everyone

I'm making my appointment for next Wednesday. DP only gets paid bi-weekly (sucks, I know) and since he gets paid this Thursday, it would just make expenses easier if we went next week. Of course, I may have no choice but to go tomorrow but we'll find out when I make the appointment in the morning. (I also can only make appts on Wednesday. But at least I can always get appts the same day I make them if I need to)

I'm super excited to get into Diane this early. She tends to only take two or three moms per months, since it's just her and her apprentices, and since they are Amish girls, I'm pretty sure they don't drive.

What I can tell you about the diet is this: She doesn't like you drinking a whole lot of juice. With my last pregnancy, I was on WIC so I got free juice. I could seriously go through a half gallon of Juicy Juice a day. It said "no added sugar" and I was stupid enough to not realize that the juice has a tone of natural sugar. So I know she says not to drink too much due to the sugar.

Thanks for all the congrats! I'm pretty excited! Luckily, so are all of our friends
