This is really happening!

I have been MIA for a few days...whew, what a week.  Anyway, I am back .  I had my first doctor's appointment today.  I went pretty well.  My gyno took a urine sample (it came back positive, of course).  My estimated due date is March 19, 2012.  I definitely don't think that's accurate based on my calculations.  We'll have to see when I go for my first ultrasound in two weeks. I can't wait.  My gyno told me I would have had one today if the tech had been on duty (of course she wasn't when I was in the office).  So far, so good.  I give glory to God for the great things he has done.  I still am in shock that this is actually happening to the hubster and me.  WOW! Thank you, Jesus (ya'll have to excuse me while I give praise to the giver of life)  In case you didn't know, that's my happy dance...lol!

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I don't eat meat.  I only eat seafood; I guess that makes me a pescatarian.  Well you can understand how being pregnant would have big implications for my diet.  So I spoke with my doctor about this and it turns out that I am free to eat fish as long as it's wild caught (i.e. Salmon, Cod, or Talipia).  I can also eat shrimp....JACKPOT!!!!  I love shrimp.   I also found out that I may continue to eat dark chocolate.  Yahoo!!! I am a pretty healthy eater, and I was dreading giving up my indulgences like dark chocolate and almonds.  Looks like I won't have to after all...So I am expecting to gain between 25 and 30lbs.  I am currently 134.6, 5'6, and mostly muscle (thanks Tony Horton and the P90X crew).  I eat about 5 times a day, and I am careful to eat lots of protein so as to not eat junk.  I'll be tracking my weight as the months progress.  Hopefully, I am able to stick with the plan.

Now on a serious note-why didn't I know that I was getting a pap smear today.  I had a pap a few months ago, and it wasn't pleasant.  So when I see my gyno pull out the stirrups I'm thinking "what's she doing?"  This time it seemed like it took forever, too.  I swear it seemed like I could literally feel her scrapping my uterine wall.  The funny part is that she was trying to distract me by asking me abut my job blah. blah. blah.  Let me just say that I appreciated the effort, but  it didn't work .
