We found out about our bundle of joy on Valentine's Day. I stopped by a Walgreen's on the way home from work to grab some of Eric's favorite chocolates. I decided to go ahead and grab a pregnancy test even though my period was only one day late. When I got home, I took the test before I took the dogs outside (we have two terrier mixes who we love like children). Before I even finished washing my hands, I could see that second little line forming. The feeling that rushed over me was beyond words. I put the test inside of his card and added a little note that said, "We may be expanding our party of two. I love you!" He was so excited. It was the perfect time to discover that we would soon have another person to love.
I scheduled my first OB appointment as soon as I could. Unfortunately, the earliest that I could see my doctor was February 28th. It seems like every day since I found out has been dragging by. In three more days, I will finally get to see my doctor. Here are the questions I have thought of to ask so far:
1. How much weight should I expect to gain and at what rate?
2. What types of excercise can I do and what should I aviod?
3. What types of foods should I aviod?
4. What types of fragrances/odors should I aviod?
Those are the big ones for me right now. I have a pregnancy book that I am reading called Your Pregnancy Week by Week and I have also been reading some things on thebump.com. I keep finding conflicting information about caffine and running specifically, so I want to hear it straight from the doctor. I'll let you know how it goes!
