I'm Pregnant!

January 4, 2010 - 4 weeks

So D.J. and I decided it’s finally time to start a family. So November 2009 came around, took a test and no luck. So December comes and goes and I was waiting until New Year's Eve to take a pregnancy test. I woke up the day before feeling a little weird. I thought ok maybe I am? I couldn't wait until the next day so I took a pregnancy test on Wednesday morning instead. The first one I took has a very slight positive sign and I really wasn't sure so I took a digital one later that day and it said PREGNANT!!!!

Oh my gosh I just about jumped through the roof! I cried of course, and I was just so, so, so happy. I called D.J. to see what time he would be home and of course it would be a late day for him. So I wrapped the test up in a watch/jewelry gift box with a red ribbon. As soon as he got home I said ok honey I have one late Christmas present for you. He said, “oh no now I have to go buy you another present.” I said no, it’s ok just open it. He said, “you know I don’t wear watches right?” I said I know, just open it. And so he opened it and his mouth just dropped. I started crying and we hugged for like 10 minutes! It was a sweet moment I will never forget. So we found out we were going to be parents on December 30, 2009 – 4 weeks!

So to document my journey I started out by taking a picture of my belly before any changes occur.

The only symptoms I have felt are very slight cramp like feelings in my lower abdomen, which is normal. I have to go to the bathroom a lot more often and I am starting to get tired quicker in the day. But other than that, I feel great. I started taking a prenatal vitamin as soon as I found out.

We haven’t told our family yet, we are waiting until the first sonogram at 8 weeks on January 29, 2010. I have my first 6 week dr. appointment on January 11, 2010. I am so excited for this baby!!!
