the news is out

So now that you all know my little secret, let me start by saying, "mannnnn what a relief!!!"  You don't know how hard keeping that in for 2months has been, and I'll also fore warn you, you might get sick of all my "baby" posts because I totally plan on letting you all in on this joyous chapter of our life.  And to those of you who were "exclusive" to the baby news, thank you for keeping it a secret, and for your prayers.
I've actually been feeling pretty good this past week!  I'm not sure if it's because I changed prenatals, or if it's because I'm coming up on my 2nd trimester but it's such a relief!  And speaking of that...can someone remind me to buy TUMS? Thanks?
I'm fresh into my 11th week, which according to what I've read:
Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.  She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
In a week from today we'll go for our 1st ultra sound.  Ooooh exciting, right?  I'm feeling a little nervous as well, but definitely excited!  I'm a first time Mommy to be, and I'm pretty sure I'll cry if we hear the baby's heart beat, and holy shit what if there's 2 little one's growing in there?  Because I sure feel like a fatty.  I was telling my Mom the other day, "I feel sorry for myself when the weight really packs on, I'm gonna be a fat ass!!"  She rolled her eyes, and laughed.  But seriously I'm so self conscious about my body/weight as it is, I'm gonna have to figure it out real soon.
A big thank YOU to my honey, for: hanging in there with my mood swings, back and foot pain, nausea, and everything else we're about to endure.  Like I've said in my posts, I know with ALL my heart, this has been HIS plan all along.  GOD works in mysterious, yet GLORIOUS ways, and I'm so grateful for this gift we were given.  GOD is right on time, all the time.  :)
