Announcing…

 

We are pregnant!!!   

 

So the details…(this might be more information than you want to read!)

We didn’t really try in March, but we didn’t try not to either. I got what I thought was my period on the 1st of April, but it was only spotting a day, skipping a day, spotting a day, etc. Once we got to April, I decided that I would chart my bbt so I would know when I ovulated. Well right off the bat, my temps were high. It never crossed my mind that I could already be pregnant. I just assumed that my medication was affecting my temps. I charted all month and my temps remained elevated for the most part and never showed that I ovulated (because I was already pregnant!). So I called my doctor and explained to him that I was not ovulating, just like with Noah, so we agreed that I would start Clomid in May.

Then on April 22nd, my sister had my sweet little nephew! We were in charge of keeping my niece, Reece, while they were in the hospital. None of us slept really well (probably because there were 3 of us in the bed) and I started to notice how tired I was feeling. I assumed that it was the lack of sleep combined with being at the hospital all day and the excitement of all that. Then the next day, I went to work, drank a big cup of coffee and a Diet Mt Dew and I still could not hold my eyes open. Then the nausea hit. Big time. That’s when I decided that I needed to take a test the next morning.

The ‘pregnant’ line showed up so fast and so dark! I couldn’t believe it! I went to the bedroom and woke Brad up and whispered “I’m pregnant!” in his ear. He said, “Are you sure?” :) He’s always in denial about such things. Love it!

Once I got to work, I decided that I wanted to take a digital test, so I ran out and bought one!

After I started putting all the pieces of the puzzle together (the super dark line on the test, the high temps, etc.) I realized that I was actually 7 1/2 weeks!

I called my doctor and I couldn’t get an appointment until May 10th…and that’s just for blood work. Once they get all my information, then they will schedule an ultrasound. So I’ll probably be like 12 weeks before I even get to see this sweet baby! So frustrating.

Because I was feeling so sick and SO BLOATED and because I am the WORST secret keeper on the planet, we decided to go ahead and tell everyone about our little bean! I really wanted to wait until we had an ultrasound first, but I just couldn’t keep it in any longer!!

I am now 8 weeks (as of Saturday!). Look for that post tomorrow!
