Big News!

It was the Sunday before Thanksgiving - we were at BJs with Dumma, Chethan & Srivalli to watch the Patriots vs Dolphins game.  I usually love their pizza so if I had to spend 3 hours pretending to be enthralled by the game, there was no place I'd have rather been than at BJs.  

...or was it?

Strangely, when the pizza arrived, I found myself sick to my stomach at the sight of it.  And don't even get me started on the smell!  I must have raced to the bathroom two or three times during the meal, and couldn't wait to leave the restaurant.  That's when I started to suspect that something was fishy.  Apparently Amit was thinking the same thing.  

Later that day, we made a special trip to Walgreens and which would lead to confirmation of the good news...we're pregnant!!!  We were so excited - it was a mix of disbelief that it was finally happening, combined with total elation.

A visit to the doctor a week later, right after Thanksgiving weekend, confirmed through an ultrasound that I was 6 weeks along.  Another 2 weeks and we'd have our first ultrasound where we'd also hear the heartbeat.  Suddenly our lives started revolving around when the next doctor's appt would be and the anticipation of seeing our little guy/girl on the little screen.
