This. Is. Really. Happening.

I am three months pregnant. I don't even know how to begin describing the way I feel. I've never wanted anything more than this baby in my whole entire life. It is almost incomprehensible that there is a little person growing inside of me. I am elated and petrified at the exact same time. In six short months my life will change in ways that right now, I can't even comprehend.

Here is the course of events over the last few weeks:

December 7: Took a test, got a faint positive line
December 9: Took another test (digital this time), got a "pregnant," immediately called Katie
Christmas Eve: My first encounter with "morning" sickness
January 9: Our first Dr. visit and ultrasound (saw the heartbeat—167 beats per minute)
January 18: The first time I ate a real meal since Christmas Eve
February 6 (today): Our second Dr. visit (heard the heartbeat—between 150-160 beats per minute)
March 8: Our third Dr. visit

I can't believe this is happening. I can't believe three months have already gone by. I can't believe that in six more months, there will be a new little person in the world—half me, half Andrew.

Now that the cat’s out of the bag, I’d like to use this blog to record my thoughts and feelings over the next few months. Maybe I can even talk Andrew into contributing…
