I am pregnant!!!! Can't believe I'm finally saying it, I mean Michael and I have been pretty sure I was pregnant, but now we have proof! That's right, I finally took the pregnancy test! I woke up at 5 AM and took the test (it's supposed to be best to test first thing in the morning because HCG levels may be higher).
According to my Day by Day pregnancy book, I am 5 weeks pregnant today! My "embryo" is 0.09 in (2.5mm) long, and the "building blocks of the baby's spine are being laid down."
I attempted to go for a run this morning, my goal was 5 miles but I only did 3.5; by mile two I was starving, I ended up walking a lot, it feels like my heart rate is staying higher than it used to, I need to start wearing my heart rate monitor. I've been extra tired today, actually the last few days I've been super tired....and hungry.
Anyway, after my morning run I ate a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon (so yummy, I discovered that on the cruise this summer). For lunch I had whole wheat pasta with chicken and broccoli. Then Michael and I went to look at cars, we're hoping to sell his Cadillac in the near future. When we returned home I attempted to make his Granny's awesome Thanksgiving stuffing recipe. It's sooo good and I'm hoping to be able to make it for my family at Thanksgiving this year so I needed to try to make it ahead of time. Anyway it turned out pretty good! Then we went to dinner at Michael's mom's house, with Tim and Kathryn and the girls. That was fun, but it's so hard not to tell everyone that I'm pregnant, a few people do know but I really want to surprise my parents in a special way! I guess the main reason we're not telling everyone yet is because the risk of miscarriage is still pretty high. I think the plan is to announce to my family at Thanksgiving, which is still a while to wait!
