Okay, so I guess this wouldn't be too big of a surprise to anyone that knows us. And actually - it was because of this pregnancy that I decided to start keeping this blog. I deleted my old blog (which I never really used) and then decided that since I really want to blog... I should do it about the thing I love the most - MY FAMILY!!
The Monday after Thanksgiving was kind of a tough one around our house. Jarrett was in the middle of a bad cold and Andy was getting it too - and I was doing all I could to not get it. Well, that Monday night - I was beyond exhausted and just didn't feel like myself. As we were getting ready for bed, I sarcastically yelled at Andy "Thanks for getting me sick!" to which he responded with - "Sucks for you because your's will last way longer than mine!" I laughed at him and asked what he meant. He told me that it was going to be a nine month sickness if I really thought I was sick. So I told him I would prove him wrong and took a pregnancy test. Without looking at it, I brought it to him and told him "Ready to be wrong" and he just smiled. I turned it over and SURPRISE - two lines. Wow - that was definitely not what I was expecting. We decided we wouldn't tell family until Christmas - and that lasted a whole two weeks. My parents guessed almost immediately. We at least had the pleasure of informing his parent (who we don't get to see as often, so they didn't notice I hadn't been enjoying my wine).
The first trimester was uneventful - no morning sickness (though a couple bouts of nausea), no extreme soreness, tired all the time... This was good since we were not planning on telling anyone until the second trimester. The best part of the first trimester?? Getting to see baby twice! Once at the dating ultrasound and again at the genetic screen. I love seeing my baby!!
We can only hope the rest of this pregnancy goes this smoothly!! More to come...
