Worries

I’m excited about a third child, but I feel a little nervous about this pregnancy.  We actively tried to get pregnant with our other two boys, so I was very much aware of my cycle and my nutrition.  I made sure to take my prenatal vitamins and I cut back on caffeine way before I even got pregnant.  This time, I had no idea, and I don’t think I ate so well, and I KNOW I had a few drinks on New Year’s Eve.  I just hope everything is okay, but I feel like I need to prepare myself for disappointment, just in case.  I don’t know why I think something might go wrong.  Maybe it’s because I just don’t feel that I was as careful in getting pregnant this time as I have been in the past?  
 
We haven’t told anyone on either side of our family yet (not even our boys…Tyler can be a blabbermouth at school!), although I think that there may be some suspicion, at least on Mike’s side.  Our first appointment with my OB for a check-up and our first ultrasound is on Monday morning.  If all is well, then we’ll tell the boys and have them tell our families via a picture or video.  
 
So, based on when I think my last period was, I’m 7 weeks and 5 days along.  The baby is about the size of a blueberry, and has doubled in size since last week!
