Well, lately things have been a rollercoaster of emotions! We got off birth control in October 07 and got pregnant right away, which we were so happy about! Then a week later, we had a miscarriage, and that was very hard to take in. We had some down times but all in all I think both of us handled it the best way we could and we prayed and prayed and prayed.
Wow, then a month later, on the 15th of Dec, I decided to take a pregnancy test, and what do you know??? It was a big fat positive! It looks like we are pretty fertile...lol This time, however, the emotions were a little different. We decided not to tell our families until we hit the 3 month mark. It is hard not telling them, but we do feel like it's best for now.
I have gotten the pregnancy confirmed at the clinic, and blood work done. Yesterday was my first appointment and they saw how worried I am, so they scheduled me for my first sonogram this next Friday, the 11th! I am so anxious for this next appointment! It is when I know which way my emotions are going.... I will be able to find out if there is truly a heartbeat and this really is IT.
So far, I have been nauseous off and on the past week and it's kinda bad at work, so that is hard, but well worth it. I even ruined our New Years Eve, and we did nothing that night from how bad I was feeling. Michael has been really exceptional and such a great husband through this. I am so glad that he is there to support me.
From my appointment yesterday, they said I am 7 wks and 1 day, with a tentative due date of August 21st, 2008.
I pray this is really God's plan and it is really meant to be this time. I have faith in Him and his plans for our family.
