Pregnant!!!!

We are finally able to say that we are expecting!! Yes this is a picture of my test. Only 5+ weeks but still pregnant. We have told our parents and Neil's grandparents, aunt and uncle. I plan to tell the rest of my immediate family later this week or early next. Beyond that only my 2 closest friends know. I go for my first ultrasound August 10th. I had a real bad headache for like 2+days but that is now gone. no other symptoms yet but its still early. I will try to include weekly posts of how big the baby is and bump pictures of myself. May have Neil take them so they are not so close. I have included one tonight that will count as my starting point.

From thebump.com:
Baby's now the size of an appleseed!


Your embryo, which doesn't look like much more than a tadpole right now, is actually starting to form major organs (heart, kidney, liver, stomach) and systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive). Baby's presence in your uterus triggers production of HCG (the hormone detected by pregnancy tests), which triggers the production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which triggers all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing
