A funny thing happened on my way to Spain...

My summer vacation is over and I have already been back in the real world for week and boy it has been painful. But let me rewind to what happened on my way to Spain. I was totally expecting for my dear aunt Flo to show up by the 1st of August and be gone by the time I was ready to board my flight on the 5th. However, by the time I got off the cruise she was still nowhere to be found. I have been late 3 times in my entire life so this was not entirely strange but somehow curiousity got the best of me and I decided to take a test. I was totally expecting a negative as I read my Marie Claire and waited for 3 minutes to be up...lo and behold it was a positive. That was absolutely crazy to look at! Of course I went to Target to purchase a different brand. After taking a nap, I took the second test and it was still positive so I had to tell DH that something could be up. He thought I was playing but I told him I was serious and I will make a Doctor's appointment for when I return to see what's up. When I returned from Spain still no Aunt Flo so I took yet another test and we both concluded that this just might be real. We went to the Doctor on Monday and saw the smallest being in the world with a heartbeat!

Was it planned? well sort of, the plan was for December but I won't call it an accident. So now I am at 8 weeks and I suspect that this could get far more interesting before it's all over. So far I have had to wake up at 5am and get a slice of cheese or a banana on several different occasions because I was starving. I have also had to cut down all my meals into mini meals and apparently my sweet tooth has been temporarily cured...get this, I actually could not finish a cup of ice cream because it tasted to sweet! Also today my favorite linen workpants are feeling kinda snug. So I totally have a long list of projects at work, home and otherwise this fall and winter but I will add updates about what my belly is doing too.
