The Beginning: Part 1

I searched EVERY WHERE for this photo, I'm so glad I took it and kept it! (The photo, not the test... I know some people do that, but I skipped it)

The day was Monday, December 6th, 2010 and I was getting ready to go to work. I ate Apple Jacks cereal. It was a typical winter day in New England- snow was on the ground and it was pretty cold but the world doesn't stop so I was heading in for my 9-6 shift. I was literally brushing my teeth when, with no warning, I was throwing up said Apple Jacks (sorry). I blamed the rascals at my job for getting me sick (Again! I had just gotten over a huge stomach bug, after already being out of work for a few days recovering from getting my wisdom teeth pulled!)

I didn't even take this right away. I called out of work (I think I might have sent my mom in my place, we were both working at the same day care) and I think Jack stayed home with me too (my little brother, he would have been 8 at the time). It didn't occur to me until a couple hours later that maybe I should take a test, not thinking anything could REALLY pop up.

I was approximately 5 weeks pregnant.

First appointment was Tuesday, December 21st, where I got to see the heartbeat and even got those really cute early ultrasound photos below!
