2 weeks, 4 weeks & more BFPS (long post)



Here's a little collection of my BFP's! I really need to trash them soon, but I can't bring myself to do it.

Here's a picture of me at 2 weeks on the dot....

I obviously wasn't pregnant yet and didn't know I would be.



My three week picture will not upload for some reason. It's showing in my iPhoto application, but for some reason, it's blurred and won't let me click it. There's no belly anyway, but frustrating!

Here's my 4 week belly covered and bare. That's not bloat or baby. Its just fat =) Can't wait until I have a reason for it.



I don't have any bad symptoms yet. My breasts have been sore for about a week but it was deep down in my muscle so I thought it was from working out. But it definitely wouldn't have lasted this long. I'm already starting to break out with blemishes on my face. And, of course, the most obvious symptom of early pregnancy, I missed my period on Friday! Yeah for no more periods for a 12 months, give or take a few. I have to be honest and say that I am wishing for some m/s at this point. Just so I know my baby is growing in there. I'm sure I'll kick myself for that later on.

We told my parents last Thursday that we were expecting. We had planned not to tell for a while, but I already agreed to help them move out of their vacation home in WV, and I had to tell them so they had a reason why I suddenly couldn't help lifting the big boxes or furniture. So, my sister told them about her on Wednesday night. She had her son walk upstairs wearing a "I'm going to be a big brother" t-shirt. They were so excited. Then, the next night, we came over with a bouquet of flowers and a card. We told them it was to congratulate Katie. She was in on it, so she came up to their bedroom and I told her the flowers and card were for her and that I'd written her a poem. After she was done reading, she gave the card to my parents and they read it together. This is what it said...

Roses are Red.
Violets are Blue.
Yeah, it's exciting that Katie's pregnant.
But, guess what? We are too!

They were soo shocked and excited. My mom immediately threw the card down and started crying and then came over to hug us. My Dad had to pick it up and read it again before it really sank in. It was a great night!

We told Jimmy's parents and grandmother on Saturday night. Unfortunately, we live 900 miles away from them, so we had to tell them over the phone. They were very excited too. I left a message on my sister-in-laws myspace page to tell her. I think that was the perfect way because she's on there every night. She is THRILLED to say the least. This is the first grandchild for Jimmy's parents, the first great-grandchild for his Mammaw, and the first baby in the family for 10 years. I'm sure s/he will be thoroughly spoiled=)

That's all for now. I'll post again on Friday with my 5 week pictures. I'm leaving for WV today and won't be back until late Wednesday night.
