So far with the preganancy...

Well, this is the first time I'm both doing a blog and writing a mass amount of people about our latest developement..."Baby Mitchell". As of today we are 9 weeks. We have kept it pretty underwraps so far. We have told immediate family and a very few number of friends. So far things have been pretty good. Morning sickness has been a factor and some of my hormone levels have been off, but everything else seems to be working correcty! As of right now we have been to the doctor 2 times already (yep, Joe goes with me!). By the time you guys are reading this we will have just gotten our 3rd appointment and 2nd set of sonograms (our first sono, at 8 weeks, is posted here). The doctor has put me in a "high-risk" category so we have decided to wait and shout it from the roof till we are more in the clear. Here are some tidbits you might want to know:

• the pregnancy was somewhat planned...not excactly on timing, but we knew we were ready when it happened
• found out we were prego on Friday, September 2nd (after leaving a party at the Orender's house), and then double checked on that Sunday and Tuesday before calling the doctor
• we will probably find out if it's a boy or girl, but won't know till December or January
• our "estimated" due date is May 16th
