Okay so I found out some exciting news today! I am a week ahead then I thought I was, so tomorrow I am officially 7wks and that put my due date at Feb 2nd. Crazy, only cause my very close friend Lisa, is due Feb 1st! I mean having a friend like her is already a blessing but to know that we are literally only 1 DAY APART is mind blowing. I could not ask for a better friend to be side by side pregnant with! We have the same doctor, seem to have our appt's on the same days so I jokingly asked her since we seem to do everything together when are we going to start dressing like each other? She quickly said.."uh, I dont think so." ha ha
The appt was very basic and she asked me a ton of questions just regarding my family medical background as well as Brandon's. Then she took my b/p and escorted me to the bathroom where I left her some of my pee. Then she took my blood and made an appt for our first sono which is July 23 and I will be around 12 wks I think. I can't wait for this appt!!!! Just to see Brandon's face as he hear's our child's heartbeat...I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Well that is about it as far as the baby goes. I am feeling great! My house is getting very organized and clean everyday. Jade is snaggle tooth, cause one of her front teeth is loose and sticking straight out and when she smiles I can't help but call her snaggle tooth. I hope she looses her tooth soon! I can not bare to pull it!
All is well in the Pickett house for now and I will update more soon!
love you all

Pregnancy week 5 among other things.
Okay so I am embracing being pregnant, at times I can't even believe I am. I love the fact that I have so many other close friends that are in "delicate condition" as well, as one of Brandon's friends put it. I know that no matter what I could call any of them and talk baby talk when Brandon had no idea what I am going through or experiencing. So it is very comforting to know I have them.
I have my first Dr. appt on June 16th 10:00am. Yes, if you are on Lisa's blog her and I have the same date as well as the same ob/gyn. I love that, just hope her and I don't go into labor the same day since we are 5 days apart or else I will be playing her at rock, paper, scissors, to see who will go first! ha ha. I am excited to go to this appt even though its just routine and nothing special, blood wk, pee in the cup, info on pregnancy and refills of prenatal vits. I can't wait for my 10wk appt...to hear the heart beat is what I have been waiting for. But until then I am cleaning..yes cleaning. I figured I have roughly 8 months to get my house in tip top shape. I started with the kitchen last Friday cleaning from the top of the cabinets down to baseboards, I even had Jade helping cause she offered to help.
I have a millions things running through my mind on a daily basis and if I don't just settle down and relax I am going to miss this wonderful feeling of being pregnant. However I have no symptoms, other than one day that was officially the worst pregnant day ever! Nausea, vomiting, headaches..ugh it was horrible and I feel for those woman who have to deal with that morning sickness on a daily basis. I pretty much LOVE taking naps! Me a nap taker I would have never thought of taking one before but oh how much I love to get my room super dark, and turn the thermostat down to about 70 and wrap up in my covers and sleep for about 2 hours, it is my new love and anytime I am sleepy I just go to bed cause well cause I can. ; ) Oh and my lady lumps have started to give me grief as well, and I too wish they would just fall off!
I have been obsessively online surfing anything and everything to do with pregnancy from, baby bedding to maternity clothes. I can't stop I pretty much have my own favorite folder titled "baby pickett" and have about 45 websites in it. I hope I am not the only one that does this I just feel so darn excited and can't wait to have a big belly and neither can Brandon. Funny he says he can't fully get that I am pregnant until he sees that I have a belly. So I try to keep him WELL informed on how I feel and what is going on with my body. Oh another symptom I forgot to add is emotional instability! I cry for no freaking reason what-so-ever! Poor Brandon he just looks at me and I see the confusion all over his face. Should I hold her? Should I leave her alone? Should I just act like I don't see her crying? God love him he tries!
Summer has officially started and Jade could not be more happy. We are in the process of moving her room upstairs which is now our game room/dog room/TV room. I am trying to make this a positive transition for her as if she is a big girl. However she was once excited and now since finding out we are having a baby she has told me she is scared to move upstairs and wants to stay next to our room. I am thinking this is just a phase, and once we decorate it and get it all glammed up she will change her mind. I am not going to push her by any means more like reverse psychology!
Well enough is enough. I must go shower and get ready for a busy day tomorrow! I am reorganizing my pantry and laundry room!!!!
kiss, kiss ( I am french today apparently)

We're Pregnant!
On May 28, 2009 Brandon and I learned that we would be expecting a baby!
We had been trying for over a year and both he and I have been through testing only to learn that I was not ovulating. After my last test which tested to see if my Fallopian tubes were blocked revealed that I was normal. I was to start a drug called Clomid which enables you to ovulate. I was having a hard time coming to terms with starting this medication and I was very scared. Brandon I and I prayed for God to help us through this and make sure that whatever option we took that he would give us the strength to make it through. We are so happy and still sometimes we just can't believe this is real. Jade is super excited and can't wait! I get daily hugs and kisses and she asks if there is anything I need, she even rubs my belly when I drop her off at school and says. " bye baby". I nearly have to hold back tears of joy because I can see how truly happy she is to soon have a baby brother or sister.
We have been blessed with this new life and we can not be more thankful!
