A little over two weeks ago Bryan and I found out I am pregnant. I was a couple of days late and decided to take a home test. Now for a little background...about a month ago we had a false alarm. I had to faint positive tests and then had a blood test and it was negative. Obviously God had a different plan. So this time I was not expecting a positive test at all. Bryan had just left for work and I took the test and walked away for a couple of minutes. When I came back the test was positive and I was in shock! Only about 10% of me believed it could actually be true and the rest just thought it was a false alarm again. However that 10% of me was really excited. I immediately called Bryan to tell him! After we had talked for awhile I emailed a picture of the positive test to my Mom and then called her to tell her to go check her email. Once she figured out what the picture was she was very excited!!!! My dad however didn't want to get his hopes up. Now that I am a little over 6 weeks he is finally starting to believe me! At about 5 weeks I decided to tell Nanny and Jetta on their birthdays. They were both ecstatic. A few days later we had our family birthday get together for Nanny and Jetta and Aunt Jetta came with my first baby gift. So sweet!
These last few weeks have been an emotional roller coster for me. One second I'm super excited, the next I'm terrified that something could go wrong, and then the next I'm crying from happiness! Bryan says I have been ready to argue about everything. I don't agree with him! :) I hardest thing for me has been having faith that everything is going perfectly. My greatest fear has always been that I could never have children and so now that it is happening I'm learning a lot about trust and faith all over again it seems like.
Physically my body has been holding up pretty good. I have had quite a bit of nausea but thankfully no throwing up. Knock on wood!!! The nausea comes and goes but when it does come it is almost instant. I have also discovered that if I eat really good and every couple of hours the nausea is much better. I have been extremely exhausted. If I don't get a chance to take a nap during the day I am pooped by the time bedtime has arrived. At work I feel like I could fall asleep if I simply blinked too long.
This is going to be a crazy, exciting, wild ride and I plan on blogging about the entire process! We can not wait for our little one to be here in 7 1/2 months!!!! Keep the three of us in your prayers!!! :)
