Well, who would have thought it would happen in the very first month......I'm pregnant!

On Saturday, the husband was due back home in 20 minutes and I figured what the hell, even though I am a 32-day cycle girl, let's give day 28 a chance. Within seconds the test showed two blue lines. As I stood there by the sink I thought, 'wow, that...was fast.' I quickly whipped up a poster and placed the pregnancy test in front of it, waiting for him to come home.

The dog was happy to see him, and it seemed like their greeting was taking forever so I told him to come here for a second. He read the poster and said, 'Really!' I showed him the test and we hugged and kissed. We sat on the couch together and got on the internet to look up a due date and see how many weeks along I was.

March 7, 2010.....4.5 weeks.

Sunday afternoon we went to our friend's house to swim in their pool and the husband asked if he could tell. He is beyond excited. They were so happy for us, hugs all around...she is 14 weeks pregnant herself, with their second.

We have decided to tell our other group of close-knit friends tomorrow at a get-together. My first appointment is July 15 and I hope they do an ultrasound. We are planning to leave from there with the ultrasound to tell his parents the news. I am going to my parent's house this weekend, but I'm not planning on telling them until probably around 10 weeks, so next month.

I keep having wicked cramps and I know all the pregnancy sites say this is totally normal but, what about you guys? What were your early pregnancy symptoms? I would rather hear it from you :)
