Pants on Fire

I hate lying. Even worse, I suck at it. I'm pretty shocked that we haven't spilled the beans to anyone. Even after attending a wedding of a co-worker, where I sipped on soda water with a wedge of lime, no one found out! Actually, I'm thanking my lucky stars right now because having work collegues find out our secret would be the absolute worst case scenario considering there *might* be some changes going on at work involving a possible promotion...but that is for a different blog.

But I miss my family...I usually see them every other weekend for dinner and drinking my dad's yummy wine, but I really don't want to blatently lie to their faces, so I've just made up excuses for why we can't see them. I know a lot of people won't understand why we aren't even telling our family yet--we do have our reasons. However, I will be put to the ultimate test on Wednesday when I meet my girls for our usually monthly get tossed mid-week for no reason after work happy hour cocktail. Lucky for me (which is unlucky for Hubs), the Hubs is having surgery on Thursday, which will be my excuse to keep a clear mind and cut out early.

My first doctor's appointment is a week from Monday where I'll get to find out my real due date, get grilled with family history questions and get molested by that giant wand...all to see a picture of that little person that has been consuming my mind ever since I saw those two pink lines.

6 weeks

I'm stealing this questionnaire from one of my favorite blogs...I thought it would be a funny way to track the pregnancy:

How far along? 6 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Even-steven since I'm just starting out....thank god!
Maternity clothes? Clearly, not wearing any...but I have been looking online and so far, I'm not impressed.
Stretch marks? Noooooo.
Sleep: Sleeping a lot...I seem to always be tired. One weird thing is that I wake up, on my own, every morning bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 6:15am....but around 7:30 I wanna go back to sleep.
Best moment this week: Hearing the hubs say, "love you guys" when leaving for work...makes me melt.
Movement: Uh, no.
Food cravings: Ketchup...which is odd because I never liked it before. You should've seen the pile of it I scooped up with my fries.
Gender: I have no idea...the hubs thinks boy though.
Labor Signs: Zip.
Belly Button in or out? Innie.
What I miss: Wine...already
What I am looking forward to: My first appointment...scheduled for November 9th.
Weekly Wisdom: To have this question on here is a mistake, since I have none....I guess I would say, stop thinking of all the negative things that could happen and focus on the positive....or some crap like that :)
Milestones: This is just the beginning!!

A Sweet Pea

"Growing like crazy, baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks and chin. Those little hands and feet- still webbed like paddles- might wiggle by week's end, the heart is beating (almost twice as fast as yours!), and blood is starting to circulate. "....How cute is that? :)
