Well, my insane tea days are over, at least for the next 9 months. The Oolongs, Black teas, and Green teas are packed away.

I went to see the Doctor yesterday and we are reasonably certain that I am 6 weeks pregnant. I get the results of the blood test back today but all signs point to pregnant.

I am going nuts because we are not suppose to tell people until after the first trimester and I just want to tell the world.

I have my first sonogram next week. Praying for great results and the news that all is going well. I am 40 so things are statistically a bit more iffy. I am thinking good thoughts (no smoking, moderate drinking, no drugs, good amount of exercise, eat well most of the time) but I will feel less nervous after next week.

So for the next 9 months I will be drinking Rooibos and whatever herbals I come across that I like that do not include rosemary. I will drink the other teas vicariously through all of you.

And yess, I know how to decaffinate tea but it still leaves a small amount of caffeine and I fall into that catagory of people who is not willing to take even a small risk when it comes to the health of my baby so I will just avoid tea.
