We're pregnant!!

Well, we (and yes, I know only *one* of us is actually pregnant) are officially pregnant. We went to the doctor Friday for the official test. So, of course we are trying to hold our excitement in check because the odds of miscarriage are still pretty high until you get past the first trimester (which is why you should wait to tell people until then). However, we are telling a few people before then. Because of the weird way they count weeks of pregnancy she's 5 weeks pregnant (the weeks start with the first day of your last period, not the conception which seems totally messed up to me). The due date using online calculators is September 3. But, we'll see what the doctor comes up with using more refined methods. Oksana goes in twice next week for them to perform some tests to make sure her hCG hormone is increasing at the appropriate rate. A week from Tuesday (January 9) she goes in for the first ultrasound. They are going to see if the sac is developing (not exactly sure what the doctor means by that, but that's what he says). We went to Half Price Books today and bought some books so now I'm reading them and learning what Oksana should and shouldn't eat and should and shouln't do.
