The Council Family is Growing

I can't sleep so I figured I would add a third post to this blogging thing. We have had a significant change since my last post. We found out January 26th that I am PREGNANT :)

I took the test when LaMont was at work. I got off a couple hours before him. When it said "pregnant" I couldn't have been more surprised. I just stared at it in disbelief. I was sooooo happy, but I also had doubt. I was afraid that little stick was lying to me. So, I got in the car and drove to Kroger. I bought three more tests... all different brands because I didn't want a particular brand to lie to me. When I got home and the rest of the tests said pregnant.... then I believed it.

I have been really fortunate with this pregnancy... no morning sickness, no puking or queasy feelings. Just really tired and a lot of headaches. The only food I struggle with is Japanese food which is sad because LaMont and I love Japanese food.... our baby does not. So I guess I lied about the no sickness part.

My belly recently started to grow. I can't hide it anymore. I am due September 28th which makes me 22 weeks. We have an ultrasound on Tuesday (this is where you would normally find out the sex of the baby). LaMont and I decided that we are not going to find out. I know this is not the norm anymore. Funny how our parents/grandparents didn't even have the option...now you can do 4-D and learn everything!

The baby kicks my bladder all the time. I love to feel it move but I could do without the bladder kicks. In the ultrasounds we have had thus far the baby has been really active. Even when I could not feel the baby, it was moving around like crazy. That was really neat and weird to see on the screen, especially since I couldn't feel it moving. I am very excited for Tuesday now that I can feel the baby.

We are sooooo excited. I guess it is time for me to buy a camera....

AMANDA!! So I used to check your blog all the time and then I gave up bc you never posted haha...then tonight I decided to give it another go and WOOHOO! I'm SO glad I did!! CONGRATULATIONS! We couldn't be happier for you! And funny story--I did the SAME thing with the preggo tests (except I orginially had the Eckerd brand, so i went back the next day and bought the most expensive one, bc I figured the more moola, the more accurate...funny.)
Glad you're feeling ok for the most part. Keep us posted--we need some pregger pics sometime!
