We're having a baby!!

We found out I was pregnant on January 20, 2014. I just had a "feeling" that I needed to take an at home pregnancy test, and when I did it was positive! I wanted to do something cute to tell Jacob the news, so I put the test on our little WVU snowman. I yelled for him to come in the room and help me turn it on because it wasn't working. He walked right up to it and turned it on and didn't even notice that there was a pregnancy test sticking out of the little scarf on the snowman. Finally, he noticed it and we were overjoyed with excitement and happy emotions! 

Later that day we went to Kroger and bought 2 more tests just to be sure.. and they were both positive too. So, HELLLLO pregnancy! We are overjoyed! I made my first doctor's appointment for Feb. 17. According to the first day of my last period (which was Christmas Eve) I was 4 weeks pregnant when we found out. So I had to wait FOUR MORE weeks until an offical doctor's appt. and ultrasound. the wait has been so hard! I have no doubts that I am pregnant with our first little baby but I would still like to see it in my belly with a heartbeat. The suspense is killing me! It's been three weeks since we found out and now it is only ONE MORE WEEK until our appointment! Finally!

The first things I did after knew I was pregnant was start browsing Pinterest, reading baby blogs, and trying to soak it all in. There is so much to learn about being a mommy!

Here is my first picture being pregnant. I was five weeks here. I'm not showing ofcourse, but I was still really cool to take the "mom" picture holding my tummy. After all, there is a little tiny baby inside of me!

We decided to track my pregnancy with a chalkboard. I love love love all of the chalkboard announcements and weekly pictures that I've seen of other mommy's to be, so I thought it would be perfect for us to do too!
Here are the first pictures!  Six weeks pregnant.

Today I am 6 weeks 5 days pregnant. Here is a picture of me last night (2/8/14) before going shopping and out to eat!
