a may surprise

As many of you may know, last Tuesday, we got a happy surprise! We are now expecting! I've decided to start this blog so I can have a written account of how my pregnancy went and look back on it from time to time to remember.

I'll be posting my symptoms, how I'm feeling, my birth plan, name ideas and anything else I can think of that might be included in a pregnancy blog!

So far, we only think we're about five weeks along, so hopefully all goes well from here on out. We're planning on an appointment next week with a midwife and a doctor to see how everything is going so far.

Symptoms so far:

The very first symptom (that I know of..I'll know more when I figure out how pregnant I actually am) was my boobs! Ouch! Swelling and tenderness are just too much to handle!

The second symptom is interrupting me right now: the need to pee every 10 minutes or so! Hormones have gone awry and my trips to the bathroom are way too numerous!
