Baby Palczewski on the way!!

On April 30th, after a week of feeling sick, I decided to take a pregnancy test. It was a week before I was even due, so I didn't expect it to be positive. I got home from school, took the test and went downstairs to take Pugsley out. I went upstairs giving myself a pep talk "If it's not positive, it doesn't mean you're not pregnant - it's just early." I walked into the bathroom, and I saw that it was positive. I almost fainted! I started jumping up and down, and Pugsley starting jumping up and down.

When Stan got home, I told him that I wasn't feeling well and asked if he could go upstairs and get me an Advil. I put the bottle right next to the pregnancy test. I heard him walk upstairs, walk into the bathroom and pause for awhile. The next thing I heard was, "What the heck is this????" So after many hugs and kisses, we finally settled into a state of shock that this was really happening.

The Monday after, I went into the doctor's office because I was having some bleeding. The doctor pretty much said that there was no way I could be sick already. She thought I was farther along than I thought, so she sent us for an ultrasound. We went into the ultrasound thinking we were 3 weeks pregnant, and we came out 7 weeks pregnant (that was the fastest month of my life). We got to see the baby and hear the heartbeat during that appointment and eventually the bleeding stopped. We've had two appointments since then, and all is well! We got to see the baby one more time and hear the heartbeat both times. Our next appointment is June 10th. Stay tuned!

Everybody's doing it...

Well, each time one of my friends got pregnant, they got a blog, so I guess it's time for me to have one too! This year for my birthday, Stan got me a shirt that says "I love my Polish husband," and he got himself a shirt that says, "Polish and Proud." Once we found out that we were expecting, it was back to the Polish website where we found a onesie that said, "Lil Pierogie" so that is where our name came from! :)
