We are pregnant - 4 weeks 4 days pregnant

So we found out that we are pregnant on February 23, 2014 which would make me about 4 weeks 4 days pregnant! I suspected it for a couple days because my cycle is very regular so as soon as I was late, I suspected it. However, I was a bit nervous to take the test right away so I didn't take it until Sunday. My big plan was to take it when Mitch was at hockey on Sunday morning but I chickened out. My heart was racing so I just waited til he got home. I ended up taking it while he downstairs and then texted him a picture of the positive pregnancy test! I waited upstairs for a bit but still no response...kinda weird cause if you know Mitch at all, he is addicted to his phone. He ALWAYS has his notifications on! Anyways after about 15 minutes I went downstairs and we were just chilling in front of the t.v. At this point it had been over an hour since I texted him the picture. Then all of the sudden he just paused the show and was like "Are you serious"? Believe it or not, I actually didn't even clue in to what he was referring to...a few seconds later I realized that he had just looked at his texts and got the pic I sent him...

We are really excited but we are still kind of in shock and nervous! We were originally going to start trying to conceive around our 1 year anniversary which was last June but then we postponed it a bit...we just didn't feel like the best time for a couple reasons. Anyways we have only been trying since the new year so it didn't take long at all. I was slightly nervous that it would take a long time to get pregnant because I have heard of a few friends having problems but luckily that wasn't the case at all! 

As far as symptoms go, I don't really have too many right now. I am slightly more tired throughout the day. I catch myself yawning a bit and I definitely need to be in bed by 10 pm which is a bit early for me but other then that I feel great! Oh there have been a couple times that I have been a bit queezy if it has been a couple hours since I ate but as long as I eat something small or even have a drink I feel a lot better!

I am so excited that some of our friends have either recently had kids or are expecting soon so that our child will have friends to grow up with!

I am hoping that this pregnancy goes smoothly. Since we had been thinking about having kids for several months now, I have been researching pregnancy, labor and breastfeeding etc as well as talking to new and expectant mothers so I have an idea of what I would like to do. I have also been looking a lot on Pintrest for ideas on pregnancy announcements. We are planning on telling close family maybe slightly earlier then the 12 week mark but for the most part we will probably wait til 12 weeks to tell people! I already have an idea of how to tell my mom, dad, Mitch's sister and I have an idea for a facebook announcement!

Right now I don't really have much of a belly at all but I definitely plan to start taking belly shots and I will probably post them on here!!!

At 4 weeks pregnant baby Spiegelman is the size of a poppy seed!!!

Have a great day and thanks for following our journey!
