Surprise!!!!!

WE'RE






PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Due Date: May 16, 2010


Wow! What a surprise! Not a surprise that I am "actually" pregnant, but that it happened so soon! And...I found out so soon! This time around is a whole new set of firsts for me. Our first try?!?! I am in complete shock, but so elated! The only syptoms I have right now is frequent urination and some acne flare! Maybe it will be a few more weeks before I experiences any symptoms if I have them at all. I am very nervous because I was expecting a year or so, Delia would be 3 by then, so I had everything planned out, but now with this sweet surprise I am a little nervous. I obviously knew there might be a small chance of getting pregnant the first time only because I just came off birth control and usually my cycles are regular (28 days) for the next 2-3 months after coming off b/c. So if I was going to try my chance at it, I would have to plan it out "just in case" I did start ovulating the next cycle (chances for that was rare, but my circumstances this time around are very different!) and maybe I might get pregnant, otherwise I was going to track the rugularity of each of my cycles over the course of 6 months. Well....apparently I am much better at planning this time around and my body was obviously ready and sometimes Heavenly Father answers your prayers much, much sooner than expected! Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it!! ;)

So here is the story. I wanted to try after Delia's 2nd birthday but last Christmas I had made up my mind I was ready, but didn't know if Christian was. So I wanted to wait for the right time to "have this conversation" with him. So many people kept asking me "when are you having more" and I just couldn't take it anymore. So in July(after I was already 1 week in of my b/c pills) I had the 30 second talk with Chrsitian. He said "well, are you ready" I told him yes and he said: "well, then let's do it" Wow...that was easy! So talking to one of my friends that we were going to try and that I wanted to start in oct. She said: "Oh, go off of it now...why wait?" Well, given my history of trying to get pregnant, that's what I did. But I also knew keeping myself on a regular cycles what raise my chances of getting pregnant. I figured if I really wanted to, the 2 months after finishing my b/c pills was going to be my best chance...I didn't know it would work!

So when day 31 hits and no period I wake up go to the bathroom and realize "shoot, I am supposed to test in the mornings, So I wait until the next morning. Take the digital kind, some of you know my experiences with the other types of tests ;) and what do you know, it says "pregnant" after which I went out and got all the other different kinds because I was in such disbelief and they were all positive. I am 5 weeks + 1 day so, so early for me. I am wanting to tell everyone! (which I have to some family and friends) but a little scared too because of something going wrong. But then my friend told me, the more people who know, the more people who will lend support in case something does happen. that is true! We are women and we need to be able to lean on eachother during times like this..and I don't want to NOT tell just for fears of something happening. I can't be thinking that way. I have yo be postive the whole way. So here it is...my official announcement!
