So, I know that some people are probably thinking that I'm crazy for announcing my pregnancy as early as I did - I would normally be one of you. Yeah, I was just too excited not to, and while I can keep other people's secrets really well, I can't keep my own. :) Now a lot of people have been asking me questions about everything, so I'm going to give a brief overview of what I've been asked without going into all the pukey details. (I'll also put up pictures once I'm home).
We went to the doctor on the 18th and got to meet my baby! He/She was little, only 2.36cm long and looked like a gummy bear. My doctor told me that based on the size I was about 9 weeks. We also got to hear the little heartbeat and yes, I cried a little. :) We also determined that my due date was December 21. I figured that we won't have an official Christmas, but at least I'm still getting a great present!
One of the biggest questions now - morning sickness. Yes I have morning sickness, and yes it lasts all day. The thing is that I get very very nauseous and don't throw up a lot, so I have little relief. The foods that make me sick are, of course, some of my favorites like chocolate, any and all fruits/fruit juice, bagels and hot dogs. My bad breath also makes me sick, forcing me to have a toothbrush in my desk at work and carry gum with me wherever I go, even though I really don't like to chew gum. Chips and salsa were surprisingly a friend of mine over the last couple of weeks, but recently became an enemy as well. Things that make my stomach happy are steaks (Fillet Mignon is the best), avocados and Cheerios (or Honey Nut Cheerios). Also Coke has been something that helps my stomach, and luckily I found one of those big packs of caffeine free Coke, so I try to keep a can of that close by.
Next common question is am I showing yet? Answer: Not enough that anyone but me or Jon can tell. I can feel the little bump and see it (especially when wrestling on my slacks for work!) but it's very small and I really don't think anyone else would notice. I am however getting a big ole' pot belly from eating so much and not throwing up as much as most pregnant people do. I'm hoping this will level out over the next few months. :)
Last thing is we told my Dad on Sunday that I was pregnant and he was very excited. I'll have pictures and the whole story later once I get the video from my sister. :) Poor Dad, has to be a Grandpa before he's 50! ;)
I think that those are the main ones. Overall my sickness is getting better (or at least it was until today, but still...) my stomach is getting bigger and Jon and I are still very very very very very very VERY happy and excited for our little gummy bear baby to grow and come into our lives. Thanks everyone for your well wishes as well, we really appreciate it!

I am so glad that I have sombody to relate with now. I just hope that your morning/all day sickness goes away soon. Mine lasted till 14weeks. Not fun!! Congrats again.
Yay!! What a cute little gummy baby :oD And doesn't the heartbeat just make it real? I bawled with all three on that day too. I'm so very happy for you and Jon and so excited to be a great(awesome)-aunt!
YAY (again) for Mindy being pregnant! I forgot to mention on my other comments that I voted that you'll have a girl cuz I really want Makenzi to have a little girl cousin to play with! Then Makenzi, Allie and your little one can have sleep overs and all the works together. :D
