We're Pregnant!

So on November 30th I woke up to discover something was missing......my period.  I decided to take a home pregnancy test because they've always come back negative so I really wasn't expecting anything different.  SURPRISE!  That HPT turned bright pink and had 2 lines.....totally preggo!  So, Brian and I did the only logical thing....we took more tests (like 4 of them).  I was freaked; I never expected this to happen so soon.  Well we went to the clinic and it was confirmed with the military, still preggo.  I've started feeling some of the symptoms for example fatigue, a little nausea, breast tenderness, and Brian's favorite: GIANT boobs.  They're huge, it's ridiculous.  I try to work out but I can't run non stop.  It just hurts too much!  I take Cujo and Hank with me for a jog/walk and we do about 3 miles.  I feel better because I'm getting the exercise and they just love to be outside.  I've been sleeping a lot more lately, which I'm trying to monitor because if I nap for too long in the afternoon, I can't sleep at night.  That part stinks.  Anyhow, we went to my OB Registration today and they gave us an estimated due date of August 12th.  I actually think my EDD is August 7th because I ovulated on the 14th of November.....the nurse didn't care what I said.  Oh well, we'll know for sure during the big ultrasound during my 20th week appointment.  The nurse gave me my laundry list of foods I can't have, and as I expected (and still to my dismay) no sushi.  What a bummer! Japanese women eat sushi when they're pregnant, and I lived in Japan for 4 years so I have to be accustomed to it, right?  Doesn't matter, NO SUSHI.  If you have ever seen the movie "knocked up" Seth Rogen describes pregnancy pretty well "a list of stuff you can't do". LOL  Oh well, I know it is worth it in the end......but I can whine a little if I want to.
