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!
Hooray for finally posting about it! We want belly pictures :)
