Pregnant

I'd been feeling funny for a few days and had strange cramping, so I assumed it was just that time of the month. Four days passed with the same strange feelings... so when Bryan left for work one morning I decided to take a test. We'd been trying for a while, so we were no strangers to disappointment, and I figured if I took the test alone, only one of us needed to be let down.

 

While waiting for the results to show up I made the bed, folded some laundry, then strolled over to the counter to look... and my jaw dropped. Holy sh*t it's positive! I started shaking and saying, "Oh my god," over and over again, and with shaky hands, called Bryan. No answer. I called again, tears streaming down my face... no answer. Finally the third time I hear an impatient "What?!?!" on the other end. "Bryan I'm pregnant!"

 

 

 

And here we are now, 14 weeks later and as excited and terrified as we could be. The first trimester was ROUGH. I developed a food aversion to BBQ sauce, iceburg lettuce, fried onions, and a handful of other things. I was bed ridden with morning sickness and spent my time either crying, or heaving. It was the most difficult secret to keep, especially at work, but when we had our first ultrasound, it was all worth it.

 

Here's our little guy/girl at just 8 weeks old, and the size of a gummy bear.

 

 

The whole concept of creating a human being from scratch is still so amazing to me! Right now he/she is the size of a navel orange and getting bigger each day. My pants are getting snug, and I'm already slowly transitioning into maternity clothes.

 

This is happening... we're about to be a family of three, and I can't wait!

 

Baby is due April 27th, 2012.
