So, while this is not so hot-off-the-press, and several of my friends already know, I figure it's time to make the official announcement. Really, I don't know why or how people so often wait for months to tell people. Maybe when I've lived longer I'll know better. For right now, I'm just really excited.
So yes, if you haven't guessed, the "little bit of love" is about 1/8 of an inch long after approximately 4 weeks of growing. "Itty Bitty," as we refer to him/her weighs less than a gram, which doesn't explain why my clothes are already a little tighter than I'd like... Just eight months left to go!
Impressions so far: So tired!!! So tired! The repository of all knowledge known as the Internet says that my heart is beating an extra 15 beats per minute. That's an extra 20,000 beats per day! No wonder I'm so tired! Add to that the fact that I'm still working out at the barn and going to school, and when I come home at night I'm just exhausted. I think I've been working hard enough that I made myself sick. I took yesterday off completely, and today all I have scheduled is a test, so by Friday I should be doing okay again.
We're so excited, though. It'll be so fun to have a little family, to take care of a baby and to watch him/her grow and develop a personality.
Sometimes it seems completely unreal. I have a hard time believing that this is really happening. I'm gonna be a Mommy!
Wow.

Oh my goodness! Congratulations! We're so excited for you. One of the reasons I wait to tell people is because the chance of having a miscarriage is greatest during the first trimester, so I wait until that time is over before announcing it. Plus I just like to see how long I can keep it a secret.
NO WAY!!!!!!!! That's SO exciting! You're going to be a great mom!
