Anyway I am happy and excited and have a ton of questions of course. I called my doctor and they will see me on Jan 31st...Ron and I have decided not to tell anyone until after I see the doctor and we determine that everything is OK.

Am I the only one who found this funny????

 
Yes, let's not tell anyone, but share it with the friends on "I-Dog"
 
That makes us special......[8D]

Too sweet!  Strong healthy babies are in bloom, it seems!!  Best wishes, Gina!!  I think it's sweet you can announce to hundreds of strangers, too!  [] 
My sister was a body builder before she got pregnant, and there are pics of her working out in the gym 3 days before she gave birth - biiigg belly in a pink leotard.  I imagine the elliptical is better on your knees/joints than running.  Your feet are gonna "hate" you enough, as things progress...  Congratulations!!

congratulations! dont freak out too much about the caffeine, they say about 2 cups of coffee a day is safe. i hope it all goes well for you.

Gina - I am 21 weeks and I still workout everyday on the eliptical.  The only thing my doctor warned is that when I get bigger it might be harder to balance with the extra weight out front and I may risk falling. 
 
I just ordered these walking workout tapes.  My friend used them and said they were good since they didn't force you to bounce too much and although the workout is low impact it still keeps you moving which is most important and since there is tons of snow and ice on the ground outside walking inside is much better.  If you have a treadmill, that would be your best bet.
 
As for the wax, you may want to rethink it if you haven't done it already.  The extra coverage keeps infection away and now would not be a good time for something like that []  If you've done it already, don't sweat it.  Also, for the drinking thing, obviously that's out now, but I went to two tailgate parties, etc. before I found out and my doc said don't worry  it []

CONGRATS!!!  [sm=clapping%20hands%20smiley.gif]

I laughed at that too.....we're not telling anyone...except for the thousands of idoggers!!  []
 
Congrats!  And good vibes for a healthy and easy pregnancy.

I'd love to see that picture! 
 
Congratulations Gina!

LOL you guys, thanks for the congrats!!  See, you guys don't "know" me so of course it is safe to share with you!  I had to tell SOMEbody!!  It's really hard to feel all the things I am feeling and not be able to share.  But, if something happened to the baby it would be much harder to have to deal with people I see and talk to every day, I'm sure you all know what I mean. 
 
I've kind of been in shock actually...like it's so early yet I haven't really been able to connect that there is this tiny critter growing inside me.  I am more aware of things I put into my body as well as where I allow my mental state to go; I'm getting the commitment to living for something beyond just myself and it gets me out of selfish-mode. 
 
Ron is a bit more anxious than I am, work is slowing down a bit so he has some provider anxiety right now.  Since he is self employed, our insurance comes through my job...so I will not be able to stop working, no way.  Those are conversations we will have to have, and tough choices we will have to make.  But I am certain that this is absolutely a God's timing kind of thing (it's seriously a miracle; six years ago I was told I would never be able to conceive without extreme measures) and I know that He will take care of us. 
 
Personally I am hoping for a boy.  Ron is a fantastic Dad and he would really enjoy a son to do "man" things with.  Of course, he wants another daughter because they are "easier" LOL!

Congratulations!   Good vibes for a healthy and easy pregnancy. 
 
My only advice is 'Don't listen and stress about all the conflicting advice you will be given over the next 9 months!" LOL 

Congratulations!  How exciting for you![]

Congratulations
