i guess i shouldn't have been too shocked, i just didn't realize what a fertile combination my husband and i make! we've now been married for a little over a year and were planning on TRYING for a baby in 2010. turns out we're 1/1 which brings us to puncakes.
puncakes is what we have named this baby, it's a combination of what i call him "punkin" and what he calls me "cuppycake" - we think it's cute. next baby will be cuppykin, i'm sure you're all following that train of thought :)
as i write this, we are approximately 10 weeks and 3 days along - morning sickness has reared its occasional head as well as bloating, constipation and gas - this is a very sexy time for me. speaking of sexy times, we just got back from our long-planned honeymoon! we had our trip planned for over 7 months, we thought it would be just the two of us, but puncakes came along and behaved for the most part. we went to roma, firenze, cinque terre and ended with milano - it was a fantastic time for the three of us.
about jeremy - he's my baby daddy, he's also my husband and best friend. i lovers him with everything that i have and i cannot imagine raising a family with anyone else. i am very close to my own daddy-o and i know how important a good father figure is for the development of a child (at least it has been in my experience). we are both a little overwhelmed at this pregnancy and i sometimes feel bad for him because of all the ridiculous questions that i have, but honestly.. when baby poops / pukes / farts, where does it go?? i can't imagine i'm the first mama-to-be that wonders that.
since we just came back from italy, our next ultrasound is a very important one for us. i go in on monday march 15th which will mark us just short of 11 weeks. i have done my research, i'm generally a pretty curious (or nosy, whichever you prefer) person so i know that statistically, we are not in the clear yet. i am hoping that all goes well on the 15th and that puncakes decides to stay with us forever and ever and ever. it's funny how all my stress is for the 15th when there is an even bigger test on the 25th - but the way i figure it goes like this, if the 15th doesn't go well, then the 25th won't matter. what happens on the 25th? i am not going to pretend i know the technical name (maybe it's a BUN test, i might have just made that up??) but basically, they're going to go in there and check something in the neck which will signify the likelihood of a baby with down syndrome - honestly, i had no idea they could check for that so early on, but i guess 12 + weeks is when that test happens.
i hope to slowly learn the lingo and what goes on in the next few months, as you can probably tell, i'm not very well-versed in this whole pregnancy thing, but i guess all mamas started out this way? oh, here's a fun fact for everyone that has not had a baby yet, did you know that they calculate the 40 weeks of pregnancy based on your last period?? how odd is that?? so basically you are 2 weeks pregnant BEFORE you are actually pregnant, it's confusing, i know.. but that's seriously how they do it. that is, unless you know your specific conception date which is not that common it seems (january 9th in our case.. hands down, 100% sure - is that too much information??)
ok reader (or readers dare i say?) - i will continue to update this with any questions or thoughts i will have in the upcoming days, weeks and months. i hope that this blog entertains you, educates you and / or makes you shake your head in amazement (whether it's the ridiculousness of my questions or anything else that may come up in the next few months).
