Baby Horvath :)

In case you haven't heard the news.. Mat and I are having a baby!  We were as surprised as I'm sure you all are, but we're very excited!

To answer all of your burning questions:

1. I've already returned my wedding dress and ordered a new one because it definitely will not fit come November.

2. Yes we were engaged BEFORE we got pregnant.  We're not having a shotgun wedding :)

3. Yes we are having the baby in England.  Yes using the NHS.  It's not quite as cushy as American healthcare but I'm sure it will be fine.  And no it won't be anything like where Kate Middleton gave birth unless someone wants to give me £6,000 (that's how much it costs for one night in the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington).

4. Yes Baby will be a dual citizen (British and American passports.. should make traveling easier!)

5. No we don't know the sex and we won't be finding out.  We want to be surprised! 

6. I'm 13 full weeks tomorrow.  Our due date is February 4th.  We had our first ultrasound last Thursday and Baby was happy and healthy (but lazy.. slept through the whole thing until the sonographer made me jump up and down to wake him/her up!).

7. We've known for a long time (since mid-June) and it was a painful secret to keep.  I'm not good at keeping secrets AT ALL so I was counting down the days until it was okay to tell everyone!

I think that about covers it!  We've been taking weekly baby bump pictures but there's just nothing to see yet so I won't bore you with the last 6 weeks.  But here's the one we took yesterday.. it looks like it could be a baby bump but I just had a big lunch ;)

Mat when we first found out.  That's his excited/panicked face :)

And one more cute one from yesterday's mini photo shoot! (please note how ridiculously long Mat's arms are.. hopefully Baby gets my normal-sized arms! Haha)

In other exciting news, I got my "Baby on Board" pin for the Tube!  You wear it when you're pregnant and people give you their seats.. it's amazing.  However, I don't think I'm big enough to use mine yet.. people would think I was lying!  So I carry it around just in case the nausea hits on the Tube (and these days the nausea seems to hit all the time!) and I need to sit down.

That's about all the exciting news I have.  And thank goodness for that because between the wedding, the baby, Mat's new job, my new job, finishing my Masters and moving to a new flat I don't think Mat and I could take any more excitement!

Off to be productive now!
