Well you can’t quite tell just yet, but the tests are in.  I’m going to be a mommy!

Jason and I have been trying for a few months now. Having been about a week late, I decided to test last week and got 2 pink lines! We are very excited about what the next year will bring, and are feeling all those feelings that I expect most first-time parents experience.

We aren’t sure how far along we are for sure, but based on my lack of symptoms I am guessing we are at just under 6 weeks, which would date us to deliver around early March. So far the only thing I have noticed is a complete aversion to potatoes, which up until this month I would have chosen over cake and ice cream any day of the week. I started feeling a bout of queeziness this morning, so I assume that morning sickness will take me by storm sometime this week. Not looking forward to that!

Our first appointment will be next Monday when they will do blood tests and do our complete family history workup. Then, we will have a week and a half to wait until our first appointment with the doctor, and first ultrasound (can’t wait to hear that beating heart!) on July 24th.

With everything I have learned since our launch in January (and all the great relationships I have made), I know that I am totally ready for this adventure. It’s going to be an exciting year and we are so excited about becoming parents!!!

Jordan Bell
Due February 29th, 2008!

 

Jordan is the first child of our very own Co-Founder, Julie Bell. Julie came up with the concept of BabyBumps.net after having difficulty finding the resources that she was searching for throughout her own pregnancy this year.

Julie is nervous about Jordan’s birth, as all first time parents are. However, through the process of developing this website she has gained valuable knowledge about becoming a parent and looks forward to learning even more with you as our network grows.

We know that Julie and her husband Mike will be great parents and we look forward to welcoming little Jordan into our family!
