Three days before our trip to China, I had my first positive pregnancy test! This spoiled our plans of having a baby "Made in China" but we were excited nonetheless! The trip didn't go quite as planned, I got sick a lot (no throwing up thankfully) and was tired often. We had fun visiting the Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors and shopping around Beijing but I still can't think of chinese food without getting sick to my stomach. I wonder if I will ever like it again.Once we got home, we scheduled our first doctor's appt. Unable to see our OBGYN until early July, I went ahead and scheduled a visit with my primary physician so that we could confirm our suspicions beyond just ourselves and a couple boxes of pee sticks! I woke up each night starving to death and made myself (or made Stu) midnight meals. I don't have any weird cravings but I love apples and rootbeer floats right now.
Our first OB appt was on July 5th at 10 weeks. We were able to have our first ultrasound. Baby Johnson was kicking and flailing around. It was so cool to see it in action. It was about the size of a lima bean at this point.
Our next appt is on Aug 2 (14 weeks) and after this one, we'll go ahead and tell friends. We just got back from a trip to Nebraska and told the rest of our families. We drove straight there in 20 hours and back in 26 hours. Needless to say, I had to use the restroom every 1.5 hours further delaying an already long trip each way.
This blog was created so that all our friends and family that aren't here with us in Seattle can hear/see our progress with each month. I hope to add pictures and updates regularly for you all. It's becoming more real as each week passes along - I think our due date is January 29th or around that time. Once it's firmed up, we'll let you know for sure.
Love,
Beth (along with Stu and Baby Johnson)
