That’s right, the rumors are true- Ryan and I are expecting our first child together.
No, we weren’t trying to get pregnant but the Lord has other plans for us. We are both really excited though, I am kind of freaked out; there is actually a little thing growing inside of me and I haven’t the first clue as to what to do. It is amazing. I thought I knew way more about all of this stuff until it is actually happening.
So I will skip the sappy boring stuff and get right to the stuff everyone wants to know: How did we find out?
I haven’t had my period for about 2 months and I have taken about 10 (literally) PG tests since then and they have all been negative. I wasn’t thinking that I was prego because well… ANYWAY, Tuesday morning Ryan asked me to get up and take another test stating “I have a good feeling about this”. Side note: Ryan LOVES children and has wanted me to get pregnant since week two of our marriage. Me on the other hand… So I take the test and what do you know… a very faint, almost unbelievable pink line shows up. Holy Crap! I took two more tests the day after that and the lines only got darker- And that is when my stomach dropped and I started freaking out.
I went to the doctor on Friday morning for my first official test. As I walk in the door I can’t help but notice all of the pregnant people in the waiting room and the piles of baby magazines spread all over the table. I really can’t believe this is happening! Anyway, I go in, tell the doc my symptoms, give blood, do an exam and the unthinkable comes out of his mouth: “Well, looks like you are about six weeks. Call Monday for your tests results and we will schedule your first OB apt. after that”. With a look of amazement I say to him: “So, I am actually pregnant, like, this is really happening?!” He said, “Ha-Ha, Yes it is! Don’t worry, next week you will be so sick and have really tender____ and it will feel real to you”. Exactly what I wanted to hear.
So here I am today. Sunday morning, awaiting my departure to church where I imagine we are going to be bombarded with people and questions… mostly because my excited little sister posted the news on facebook about 2 seconds after we gave them the news. So, if that is how you had to find out, sorry I wasn’t able to tell you myself.
Ryan is the most excited person in the world right now smiling ear to ear. As for myself, I don’t really believe this is happening- AHHHH! I’m pregnant! There is a thing (hopefully things) inside of me, I might get sick, I can only eat fruit, I better start working out, how are we all going to fit in this little bedroom, stretch marks, breast feeding, crying- oh how i love my sleep, laundry, puke… I guess you could say I am excited too! =0)
