Yep! We are popping out a baby in April! If you couldn't tell I love kids and babies and have always aspired to be a mama.  Because of some of my "irregularities" I thought I would have a really hard time getting pregnant so when I took 5 tests at 3 AM a few weeks ago I still couldn't believe it.  I woke Tony up and he was out of it and said he wished I would have waited til he woke up so he could have actually been awake... oops.  After a few LONG weeks of waiting we finally got to see the dr yesterday for our ultrasound.  I kept telling everyone "I'm so worried that there won't be anything in there and I'm just crazy" so when the DR ripped off the pic and handed it to me he said "Proof!" It still seems surreal and I just mostly feel like I have the flu so that's what my mind thinks too. Seeing that "glorified peanut" on the screen and watching the heartbeat definitely made it real.  It just seemed to happen too easily so I feel really really blessed!  We are good with whatever sex the baby is we just hope everything goes well and we have a healthy baby.... but I would put money on it that it is a boy.  It's weird, I just know.  And in case you forgot... the digital child I creepily made when Tony and I first started dating... is now possibly a reality.

But here is what peanut actually looks like...

Baby is supposed to be the size of a prune (which is funny since it has the exact opposite effect as a prune) but I am measuring a little smaller. However my due date is still April 12!  We are so excited to grow this guy and to one day enjoy food again. I'm really crossing my fingers the baby doesn't have diabetes from all the sprite. And if you get pregnant and have stage fright... good luck peeing in a cup at the Dr's office every time.
When I first found out I was prego and hadn't started the nausea medicine I was quite miserable and my sister would say "every time you feel sick just think of how lucky you are that you have a body that can carry a baby because there are a lot of people who can't" so I feel extremely lucky to have this opportunity.

Thanks for all the well wishes- we are so blessed!
