Its has been a pretty bust past week.
Tuesday I emailed my Dr. to request a blood test to confirm the pregnancy, I got a response withing and hour letting me know that I could come in that same day after work and they would have my results that night. So of course I went in that night and about 2 hours later I got the call telling me that Yes I am pregnant and they also gave me a due date of DECEMBER 31st!!!
I have my first prenatal appointment set up for this coming up Thursday. The Dr will be doing a ultrasound to measure the baby to see if the due date they gave me matches up with the baby's growth.
We have gotten come great deals so far on baby items from craigslist and rummages. We already have an exersaucer, highchair, stroller, car seat, booster seat for the car, bouncer, kick and play toy thing (lol not sure what they are called), a whole bunch of toys, books and a TON of clothing (all neutral of course). I think I may have spent around $150 for everything so far. A good chunk of the items me got this past week was bought with birthday money that I got from my Grandmother.
Yesterday was my birthday, I had planned to have a bunch of friends over to have a drunken fun night, that was before I found out about the baby, so I stuck with the original plan but I just pretended to drink so I didn't tip any one off to there being something going on. Minus my friends boyfriend getting sooooo drunk that he wanted to fight my husband it turned out to be a really good night. I even got a few baby goodies as a bday gift from the only friend of ours that knows about the pregnancy. Its kinda nice that my baby is getting spoiled for my birthday. lol
Well today is our god daughters birthday. totally looking forward to her reaction to the gift that I made for her.

Changes....
Even though I'm only about 3 weeks along I have already noticed some changes psychically... Its so weird, I didn't think that there would be any noticeable changes this early along. I've been eating more which is a good thing since I usually really restrict my food intake due to trying to lose weight. My nose has been freaking out on me and I've been gagging a lot easier with bad smells. I've been having weird little pains in like muscles that I don't usually have and the past 2-3 days my breasts have really hurt.... Ive never had any bread pain with my periods so that's the most annoying of all the changes so far... Really not liking it, lol but i know its only going to get worse....
I've been doing my homework so I have a good idea of what to expect in the beginning.

Everything is going to change....
Thursday night after work, I peed on a stick and saw 2 pink lines!!! OMG! I'm Pregnant! I'm still kind of in shock but very happy! :)
I looked up a bunch of tips on better ways to conceive including how to figure out the best time. About a week ago we set up an appointment with the Dr. to talk about conceiving and fertility options that were open to us if we wanted to try them since its been a year with no luck. Well I guess it was still a but too early for at home tests since I had already tried 3 times with all negative results and only with extreme hope did i decide to try again... I'm so happy that I did!!!
I took the test about a half hour before my hubby got home, and broke out sobbing when I saw the 2 pink lines. I grabbed my hubby's camera and tried to get a pic of the test which just wasn't working since I was still crying lol. When He got home I had him close his eyes and hold out is hands, when he opened them and saw what I handed him I started sobbing again. We are both SOOO happy!!
Next week I will be taking another home test since I still have one at home, and the beginning of next month I have an appointment already scheduled for my yearly exam so I will have her do a blood test for me then to have an even firmer confirmation that I am pregnant.
We we decided to go off the bc we also decided that we weren't going to say anything to our families about if just in case nothing happened or if it took a lot longer then expected. We also didn't want to listen to EVERYONE constantly asking us about how things are going since my family has been nagging us for the last 5 years about having a kid... I have decided to wait until mothers day to tell my mom about it and then we are going to wait until at least the end of June before we decide to tell the rest of the family. We both want to be a bit more sure that this is going to stick before getting everyone all excited and then the possibility of something bad happening early on.
Even though we still didn't know for sure, I started buying some baby toys and a few outfits figuring that either way they will get used sooner or later. I've gotten really good deals on everything so far but we are running out of space to hide everything until the announcement, just in case we have unexpected visitors.
Lets go back in time a little....
A year ago my husband and I decided to go off the birth-control and let what ever happen, happen... I think we had both decided that we were ready for have a kid but not quite sure about actually doing it since we aren't very financially stable. Back in Feb I told my husband that I seriously wanted to try conceiving and he was ok with that. I would like to have a child before I turn 30 and I don't have much time left for that yo happen.
After almost a year of being of the BC and not having any luck yet, I was starting to get worried... I have 2 close family members that haven't had any luck for a long time with getting PG and I was really starting to freak out that it might be something hereditary.

The beginning....
I started this blog over a year ago and never really did anything with it. I never really know what to write about and everything turns out to be more of a journal post then anything else.... well more then anything its still going to be that way but now I have something that I want to write about... Its always been better for me to get things out by writing them down since I'm very bad at letting my feelings out otherwise. I always bottle everything up until I feel like I'm gonna explode and usually have a break down....
This next year is going to be a hell of an emotional rollercoaster for me so I have decided to give this a try again. and It will save me alot of money on notebooks and pens lol.
