We're expecting!!!

Wow, I never thought this would happen to me. Although it's been in the plans for a while, it still came as a surprise on February 17Th. A positive pregnancy test. I was thrilled at first, then disbelief took over. What if the test was false? What if I somehow used it wrong? I was afraid to get excited and then be disappointed later. The box said it was 99.9% accurate, but that wasn't accurate enough for me. I had to do a retest. Twice. After 3 positive results I felt confident enough to stop testing. We told our parents a few days later. Peter broke the news to Mom and Dad after dinner at their house. I can't express how happy they were. Mom cried. I knew she would. Dad jumped up from the table and slammed his hands together so hard they still hurt the day after. We went over to Peter's parents' the next day. He simply asked them if they could watch Tyson sometime in October. Thinking we were going on another trip, they said, "sure, where are you going this time?". Peter told them we were taking a trip to the hospital. They looked confused. "Why, who's sick?" He said "nobody is sick, we're going to make you grandparents". Peter being a practical joker, they looked at me for reassurance. When I gave them a head nod, they finally believed it. I think it took them a few days to really let it sink in, to realize that after waiting for so long they finally WILL BE grandparents.
I'm 9 weeks now. I haven't felt much different than I normally feel. I haven't had any morning sickness, nausea, moodiness or exhaustion. I feel great actually. The only pregnancy symptom I have is sore boobs, which is normal. My first check up, blood and urine test all looked fine. I can't wait to have my first ultrasound. I want to see the little person inside. I'm really looking forward to my growing belly and first movements, because right now, honestly, I don't feel pregnant. I've read books and I've researched pregnancy on the Internet and supposedly I should be feeling all kinds of things, but I'm not feeling anything. I check my belly every day, but it hasn't changed yet.
