Well last night was fun, Adam and I stayed over at my Aunt Mary's house and visited with her and her husband and their two wonderful kids. It was a great time, I'm really sad to have to say goodbye to everyone here.
On the baby front, I'm 8 weeks 5 days and so far everything seems normal. I didn't sleep well last night because I had pretty bad cramps so I woke up at least twice to go to the bathroom and then just walk around. I think cramps get worse when I sit down for too long. From what I've read though cramps are normal as long as there isn't any bleeding. So despite my extreme worrying all the time, I have no real evidence that things aren't fine.
We leave tomorrow morning at 3am and arrive in England late tomorrow night. We are staying at Adam's brother's house when we get there and his parents will meet us the next day where we can celebrate Christmas! yay. Officially three days until we tell his parents. I hope they are excited! :)
We have started taking our weekly photos of my belly. Despite only almost 9 weeks along I already feel bigger.
Well that's all for now, my next update will come from another country!

My first attempt at blogging
I'm 8.3 weeks pregnant and live 3500 miles from my family. Blogging might be a good way to keep everyone regularly updated on what is happening as I get bigger and fatter and closer to being...a mom. Scary.
All I can say about the pregnancy thus far is that it is all a bit unbelievable. I don't "feel" pregnant(other than feeling crampy, nauseas and falling asleep at 9pm every night.) I have my first appointment with a midwife on January 3rd and I'm hoping that they will do more than congratulate me on thinking that I'm pregnant. I also hope they schedule an ultrasound for sometime mid-January.
I'm excited and nervous about this whole adventure. I'm scared of getting excited and something going wrong.
On top of all this there is the constant question: where will we live? and work? There are a lot of questions and not a lot of answers in life right now...it's an adventure though!
Also...less than one week until we tell Adam's parents...(all of America already knows!)
