Knocked Up
I’ve been keeping a secret for the last six weeks and I FINALLY get to spill the beans! Which is such a relief, because I’m the worst secret keeper ever.
Well, here you go.
I went for my first appointment this morning. Besides the never ending nausea, sore boobs and crying for no reason, I haven’t really felt pregnant (I know, I’m a loon), so I was half expecting the midwife to tell me I was mistaken.
Midwife: Mrs Kay, it’s just that you’re, um, NOT pregnant. Not in the least.
Me: But what about the uncontrollable sobbing I did over Grey’s Anatomy?
Midwife: Well, emotional issues aren’t really my specialty, but I can give you the number of a really great psychologist.
Me: But my pants aren’t fitting anymore!
Midwife: Yes, I noticed that. I can also recommend a really great weight loss specialist.
So to see my baby squirming on the ultrasound screen was not only reassuring, it really drove home that I am, in fact, pregnant with a REAL LIVE HUMAN BEING inside me.
Amazing.
As for stats, I’m 10 weeks along, due January 11th, and settling into some very intense cravings.
hahahahaah, I knew you were up to "something" being away for so long, just kidding.
I am so happy for you!!!! Yayyyy!!! and for all of us that read your blog, meaning "more fun stories to come".

I loved being pregnant with both of mine, and they were both very different pregnancies.

I was afraid I'd accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!! That's great news! I bet gabi must be super excited!!!

OMGOSH!!!! LAURAL!!!! Congratulations!! YAY! This is such wonderful news, I'm soooo happy for you guys. Gabi is going to be a great big sister! Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy. Sorry I've been scarce lately.
So happy to hear this news. 
hahaha…you are so funny. Congratulations, Laurel! I bet Gabi is so excited!
I was pretty emotional over Grey's too if that makes you feel any better and I'm even not prego.
YAY! I was wondering when you were going to spill the "bean" hehehehe
Have you thought of any names yet??
Congrats!
Also, that's the Hubs birthday – so it would be an excellent day to have a baby!
Woohoo! Parabéns pra você! I can't wait to hear Gabi's thoughts on the matter!
Babies are so awesome. I'm fighting the urge to get pregnant again – now. Pretty pathetic given that Gabriela's only 8 weeks old. Post often and maybe I can live vicariously through your pregnancy instead.
I am so excited for you Laural!
That is wonderful news!!!
Congratulations!
Yay when I hadn't blogged in a while I kind of expected to have missed an announcement of this kind from you but am thrilled to have hauled my backside on the sofa just in time for the announcement.
Congratulations!

Huge congratulations Laural! I was just thinking as I started to scroll through my seriously overloaded Google Reader, "I need to check in on Laural. I wonder if she is pregnant yet."
So fun.
Glad you are feeling well and I hope the rest of the pregnancy is just as nice.
It's amazing how far ultrasounds have come in 15 yrs. Huh!
I know I'm wayyyyy late to the party, but – CONGRATULATIONS!
I've been a bit of a hermit. Will try and remedy that.
Congratualtions from Sweden!
