March 1st & 2nd!

March 1st!
I'm going to be going to the Andaluz BirthCenter in Tualatin, I can't wait!

March 2nd!
I'll be going to my first prenatal appointment, I am looking forward to seeing the baby and finding out how far along I really am! It's hard telling people "I don't know how far along I am" when people ask me..I feel a little foolish.
I'm hoping to no longer feel foolish after Wednesday!

I will update this post after my appointments!

Wahoo!

February 20th, 2011

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 6 months and last month we had had a chemical pregnancy. We were really upset and felt like we were on an emotional roller coaster. Since we started trying, I had been praying that God would bless us with a baby to be due in October. My husband's Dad had passed away October 24th, 2009. That month is never one we look forward to coming, so I thought it'd be great to give the family something to look forward to!

Today was already a special day, my husband and I were bringing our marriage into the church and sharing a luncheon at our house with our family afterwards. But at 4:15a our day went from special to extra special!

I woke up to go potty and had all my HPT tests ready to go! I did 2 cheapie tests and a First Response. Just in case! All three came up double lined and positive!

I went back to bed at 4:30a and my husband asked if everything was okay (if I was constipated) and I said no. I just went potty..and I'm pregnant. He asked how many tests I took and then for the next hour we couldn't sleep. We weren't sure if we should be excited yet or not. When you try and the prior month you miscarry, the excitement isn't as ready as it would if you haven't gone through that. I reassured him that the HPTs are 99.8% accurate but being the personality my husband is, he said he would be ready to be excited at my first prenatal appointment March 2nd. I'll have a blood test at that appointment also.

Even before I took the tests, I knew I was pregnant. I was eating pepperoni like it was going out of style and didn't have any problems in the bathroom. Usually it beats me up after I eat pepperoni pizza but I had been eating it for a good week and everyday and nothing. I had heartburn and constipation and I was nauseous at night. I wasn't able to sleep on my side or my stomach because my boobs are super sore. And actually, sleeping on my back isn't all that great either.

I can't wait for March 2nd to get the pregnancy confirmation done and to find out how far along I am. All the sites say different things..it's very confusing!

Our prayers are different now, now we pray that God will bless this baby and help him/her to grow healthy and strong. I'm so thankful that we get to pray this prayer!
