I need to calm down!
I just got a BFP!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what to do first. We've been trying, not on a regular basis, since June of '07 and it's finally for real! I"m both terrified and excited. For some reason I still feel like I'm a teenager finding out they are pregnant. I had a sneaking suspicion when the idea of my favorite food made me nauseous. Pair that with my boobs being sore and Aunt Flo not coming and not remember seeing certain things during my cycle...... but it was mostly the whole idea of food making sick that was the major tipoff. Loosing weight during pregnancy isn't the best thing to do, despite having quite a bit of buffer as you can tell from my one ticker. Now it's just a matter of forcing myself to eat. The thought it most foods and even drinks are making me want to get sick. You girls are the first to know. I wanted to test last week, but first i didn't want to test too early and end up just having it be a little late like it sometimes does and then I had a friend staying with us for the long weekend, so i didn't want to do it then,either. I finally did and...bfp...no question...Now I'm just trying to figure out how to tell DH. I want to make it a surprise. Funny, I've dropped so many hints over the last couple of days. I think he's completely dense or just doesn't want to say anything. Now I need to find a Dr. and all that fun stuff. it would have been so much easier if i was still there in PA.
I was trying to check out the bump... I thought we had our own, but all i found was the Philly and Pittsburgh one.
Oh, and please don't post anything on FB, since i haven't told anyone except you guys : )

Right now I'm trying to tie the surprise into MayDay-5/1.. I wanted to do Father's day, but I'm not about to wait a month and a half! So all i have is the test and i bought a little grass green bib that says "I love my Daddy". Not sure exactly how to tell him yet.
This naseus business is for the birds,though. it's impossible to plan supper or grocery shop without wanting to get sick
I keep racking my brain for ideas and when i think of a food that the thought doesn't upset my tummy, then that's what's i've been having.... or trying to have. My worst is i'm a big milk drinker and right now, thats the last thing I want.
congrats! can't wait to hear how your DH reacts. there's a link to the central PA babies board at the very top of the central PA nesties board.
I found that watermelon really helped my nausea. If I ate that first, I could usually get something else down. candied ginger and sea bands helped, too. it would be funny if you started sporting the sea-bands and your DH still didn't catch on!
If I may suggest a surprise.....you could leave "thebump" up on the computer screen and when DH gets home ask him if he could look at the computer, you were using it and it started acting weird.
Now if he's that dense lol then there's a problem.
Enjoy your pregnancy : ) I hope the food issues clears up for you!
Congrats! I think the initial excitement makes you feel even more sick, but once you calm down it isn't as bad. Let's see, the food I ate when I was in my 1st trimester....
Cheerios (carried a baggy of them everywhere I went)
Macaroni and Cheese / Grilled Cheese
Salad / Pickles
Fruit - LOTS of Fruit
Other than that, it was hit or miss. If I ate one of those other things first, then I was possibly able to stomach something else. Whatever you find that you can eat, make sure to stock up on it : )
