Surprise!

I promised you all my real excuse today. Are you ready for it? I'm pregnant! After trying for the past 7 months, we finally got the result we wanted on a pregnancy test. This will be our very first baby, and we couldn't be happier. So you see, I wasn't lying when I gave you all those silly excuses yesterday. I really have been sick and tired and hurting and all of those other fun things that come along with being in the first trimester.

I've been sitting on this news for a whole week now. I had to make sure that all of our family members and very close friends knew before I could announce it to the entire world. I'm about 6 weeks along now and had my very first prenantal appointment today (hubby couldn't go because he had his first test for one of his summer classes so my college roommate went with me). There was a lot of poking and prodding, a lot of uncomfortable questions and such, and some laughter and tears. We're all very excited and can't wait to find out if baby is a boy or a girl.

Now, I don't want you to get worried. This blog isn't going to turn into one of those places where all I talk about is the baby (I've been doing that in real life and driving everyone crazy so I'm trying to cut back). I'll still be bringing you yummy recipes and funny pictures. My posts will still be as witty as they've always been (what do you mean that wasn't very much?". Sure, I'll tell you all about what I'm craving and what I can't stand to be around (nothing yet on either front). I'll just try to keep the babyness to a minimum.

Anyway, I just wanted all of you to hear it straight from me. Thanks for sticking with me while trying to get the energy to even cook. Should have something yummy to post in the next couple of days.
