Thursday November 20th, 2014 started out like every other morning (well, technically afternoon – being that I work overnights). I rolled over, groggy, to the sun shining in my eyes through the blinds of our little house. The past couple of days I’d been feeling completely exhausted, drained, I mean I couldn't even peel myself out of bed type of tired. I just knew. I knew that something was different. I got out of bed and walked to the restroom, grabbed a box from underneath the sink. Chris, my boyfriend, has just woken up as well. We began joking back and forth, “I don’t know why you even bother, and you know what it’s going to say.” I tried to downplay my thoughts and emotions. Thinking over and over in my head, nah, it couldn't be. A couple of minutes had gone by before I finally looked down; the pregnancy test that was lying on the counter clearly read “
Pregnant”. I gasped and my hand instantly covered a smile that had instantly and effortlessly formed across my face, Chris had brief a look of shock before we both started smiling and laughing. My eyes watered up. I knew it... We’re pregnant!
I went to the clinic and had the pregnancy confirmed. As I’m writing this right now I am 4 weeks and 4 days. Our estimated due date is August 4th, 2015. I have also set up my first prenatal appointment; it will be on the 17th of December. We’re both just over the moon about it, and we’re both a little bit nervous. The waiting period from seeing that positive test (… or 7 positive tests, ha) to the first appointment to confirm viability is a true test of patience. We both just want to know that our little bean is doing okay in there and progressing as it should.
I've decided to publicly blog my journey through pregnancy so that our family and friends can follow along with everything that is going on in one place. I also wanted to be able to look back and remember the little moments, the silly cravings, first baby kicks, and to document the changes that my body will be going through.
