Our first snow

We had our first snow this morning. I think it started raining about 20 minutes ago, but it had been coming down for a few hours before then. I am just happy to have the first snow I've seen since moving here.

10 week appointment

Yesterday I scheduled my 10 weeks appointment for February 12th. I expect that they'll do a physical exam and an ultrasound. Unfortunately I couldn't schedule it so Danny could be there.
Really exhausted today. Didn't want to get out of bed, but I did!

Proof

In case you all didn't believe us when we told you, I have a picture from two weeks ago to prove it.

me so far

So you may be wondering how I am handling pregnancy so far.
Amazingly it hasn't been too bad. I expected it to be worse. Most of the time I am just tired and hungry. I'm afraid I am going to gain more weight than I am supposed too. Luckily, I am still going to my aerobics class twice a week when I can.
I've been careful about what I eat so that I don't get morning sickness. So far, its worked. :) I was okayed by the doctor to take my stomach acid medication, so I hope that will help me avoid it too. I've been very sensitive to smells, but that hasn't made me sick yet either.
Not really starting to show yet. It just kinda looks like I'm getting fat. Danny is going to take a picture of me and we bought a tripod so I can take my own while he is gone.
Next week I'll call the OB/GYN and make my 10 weeks appointment for the second or third week in February. That is when I'll get a physical exam and an ultrasound. I should hear the heartbeat then too. Danny probably won't be there for that one. I am pretty sure that the only other ultrasound I'll get is the one that will tell the gender. Yes, I am going to find out. Although I am not buying anything yet, I am shopping for gender neutral stuff. We plan on having a second child someday and want to reuse a lot of the stuff.
I have many friends around here who had babies or are moving and am hoping to get some things from them. A friend who is moving in May is going to sell me a bassinet.
Wow, all that typing made me tired. Guess its time for my nap!

Finally, the new post you've been waiting for

So, it isn't exactly that we've been busy, we just couldn't post anything on the blog until we were ready to spill the beans. Unfortunately, most of you already know.
Now I can finally say it on the blog... I'm pregnant. Yay.
I had my first appointment today. Nothing fancy, we just answered and asked questions. Going off my last period, I was told I'm 6 weeks and one day and my due date is Sept. 7. It seems so far away!
At this point I am still a little anxious because I don't get an ultrasound until my next appointment, which will be another month. Right now I know my chances of having a miscarriage are 1 in 3, so I am pretty scared but I'm just praying everything goes okay. I am doing my best to take care of my body and know that if this does end in a miscarriage, it was probably for the best.
For now, I'll try to be positive and just keep working toward Sept. 7th.

Forgot to add that Danny had duty today but he was still able to make it to my appointment. He asked questions and I was very happy to have him there. This may be the only one he can make it to, but I am happy he was there anywhere.
Sorry if I forgot to add anything else. I'll try to answer questions if I did.

Yes, I know....

The update is to come tomorrow afternoon. I promise. After that, I promise not to ignore our blog anymore!!
Check back after 3pm Tokyo time on Monday.

very quiet

Yes, I know its been quiet on the blog for the last few days. It is probably going to stay that way for the next week or so. We just don't have anything to say right now. I'll post if I come up with anything before the 14th. Otherwise, you'll just have to wait.
Thanks.
