We obviously don't know yet whether we're having a boy or a girl, but I've been thinking about nursery themes already! I've never been very creative with stuff like that, so I was hoping to get some input from you guys! I would love it if you would post a comment with ideas for boy nurseries and girl nurseries. I can't wait to hear all of your great ideas!
Also, make sure to answer the diaper poll on the left side of the page!

Our First Doctor's Appointment
On September 10th (9 weeks), we had our first doctor's appointment. I was a little nervous, since I didn't know what to expect, so I was glad that Terry was able to go with me. After the um...not so fun stuff...we had our first sonogram and got to see our little peanut moving around! He/She was kicking those little legs around, and the heart was beating like crazy, as was mine. It was a very emotional and profound moment, and it made the whole thing so much more real! I couldn't wait to show off those first pictures of Baby Timberlake, and that's what I did...all day...and the next day...and well, the whole week for that matter... =)

Pregnancy continued...
On Monday, August 18th, I made it through my (excruciating) first day back to school. The pain came from knowing that my pregnancy would be confirmed or denied by the doctor that afternoon, but I couldn't tell anyone about it! I was out the door as quickly as possible, and made it to King's Daughters a nervous wreck! I remember watching a woman with her baby in the waiting room, and praying that that would soon be me. I met with a physician's assistant, peed yet again, and was thrilled when she confirmed that I was definitely pregnant.
I rushed home and told Terry (again)...I think he believed me this time. =) We called my parents and made plans to go to dinner at Olive Garden, but they were still in the dark at this point. We made it to Olive Garden without saying a word (a miracle) and my brother Steven ended up being our server! I waited until we got our drinks and placed our orders, and then I finally told my parents why we really invited them to dinner. They were ecstatic. Mom screamed a little bit, and then there was lots of laughing and excitement. They've wanted to be grandparents for a long time! As soon as Steven came back to our table, Mom told him he was going to be an uncle, and then she called Adam and told him. They were both just thrilled, but I'm pretty sure neither of them believed me either...what the heck? =)
Stay tuned for more... =)

Pregnancy so far...
Alright, time to get everyone up to date since I've waited 10 whole weeks to start this thing!
I found out I was pregnant on Friday, August 15th, the last day of summer vacation. I decided to take a test to rule out pregnancy, because I didn't think for a second that I was actually pregnant. I will never forget the elation I felt when I saw that plus sign! I started crying because I was so excited, and I left the test in the bathroom and went to do something else to keep my hands busy. That was pretty pointless, because in a matter of about 10 minutes, I went back into the bathroom about 20 times too look at it again, certain that I was an idiot and I had read it wrong. I guess I'm smart enough to read a plus sign, because it was confirmed each time I went to check. Did I think it was going to change it's mind? Who knows.
When Terry got home from work, I sat him down and told him he was probably going to be a dad. I was once again questioning my abilities to pee on a stick, thinking it was just too good to be true. I decided that I needed to pee on another stick to confirm everything, so I ran to Walgreen's (for the second time that day) and bought another test. Definitely positive. I'm pretty sure Terry still didn't believe me though, and wanted to hear it from a licensed medical professional, who is better at reading the results of peeing on a stick. =)
I made an appointment for Monday afternoon (I still can't figure out why they couldn't see me that day, when I called on Friday afternoon at 4:30!) That was the most nerve wracking weekend! I spent some time with my parents on that Sunday, and keeping my mouth shut was the hardest thing I've ever done! I wanted to tell them SO badly, but I knew I should wait until it was confirmed by a doctor.
Stay tuned for more in the peeing on a stick saga!

Blogging!
Well, I've been told that blogging is the thing to do these days, so I decided to start a blog now that I actually have something to talk about! My writing is not typically very intriguing, since I usually write for second graders, but I'll do my best to keep you from yawning!
Stay tuned for more on Baby Timberlake!
