It's Official!

Matt and I are expecting! We found out yesterday after visiting the doctor's office and getting an ultrasound. It was amazing to finally, truly confirm that we're pregnant. We got a few photos of Little Baby Sehner and also got to listen to baby's heartbeat--an unexpected surprise! Our due date is December 20, 2012, just in time for Christmas! Though the holidays always seem to be very hectic for us...Wedding aninversary on November 28, Matt's birthday on December 1 (and his sister Julia's), Matt's aunt's birthday on December 4, holiday get-togethers around Christmastime, New Year's, then my birthday on January 13. I guess Baby Sehner will get used to the craziness very fast!

Below are some questions to help me track my pregnancy.

How far along: 8 weeks

Gender: Don’t know yet

Total weight gain: Zero (Starting weight at 140lbs)

Movement: Too early for any

Food cravings: Cheese!

Signs of pregnancy: Heightened sense of smell—anything that has a fragrance to it makes me gag! Shampoo, conditioner, facial cleanser, hand soap, laundry detergent, toothpaste, perfumes. Time to invest in fragrance-free EVERYTHING!

Sleep: So tired in the late afternoon that almost every day after work I take an hour nap on the couch. But I sleep great at night.

Labor signs: Nope

Happy or moody? My emotions are like a rollercoaster—happy one minute and feeling blue the next. Poor Matt!

Stretch marks? None

Maternity clothes? Not yet

Wedding rings on or off? On

Miss anything? Mountain Dews! Too much caffeine. But I guess it’d a good thing that they don’t even taste the same to me anymore thanks to my super sense of smell.

Best moment of the week: Sharing the news and pictures of the sonogram with our parents! They were thrilled to find out we’re expecting and that they get to be grandparents this year! (It’ll be their first grandchild.)

Looking forward to: Telling our other family members and close friends.
