WE ARE PREGNANT!
I am sure most if not all of you know this by now but I wanted to take a second and blog about the Journey this far.
Well It was Christmas Day and I told Dean I am going to take a test just to see if we are pregnant (side note... we didn't think we were pregnant because I hadn't had a period since October so we didn't even know if I was Ovulating, and I knew I wasn't pregnant in November because the test was negitive) I continued to tell Dean wouldn't that be cool if we found out we were PREGNANT on CHRISTMAS! So I got out of bed, and went did the test and waited a few minutes, and ... There was a faint pink line. So I went into the bed room and told Dean I think we are pregnant come and look. He saw it too, and so of course I had to take another test to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Mean while I kept saying to Dean, do you see what I am seeing. I THINK WE ARE PREGNANT! The second test looked the same. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US! So Yes it was a very Merry Christmas. It was hard to be quiet that afternoon cause we got to talk to Daniel my Brother on a Mission and Dean Sister Rachel on a Mission and I wanted to tell them in person. But we decided to wait till we were able to hear the heart beat. Thus far I wasn't sick yet, I kept telling Dean if this is what it is like to be pregnant I could have a lot of kids. ;) I ate my words a little later. The morning sickness came : - )
So I called the Doctor in Boise (since we were still in Arizona and knew we were moving to Boise soon) and they asked how far along I was or when my last period was. I said, I had no Idea how far along I am. I haven't had a period since October, but I know I wasn't pregnant in November. So we scheduled me an appointment in January to come in and see how far along I was and to have my first appointment.
So...
January 19, 2012 Dean and I went to the doctor and saw this...

January 19, 2012 Dean and I went to the doctor and saw this...
(Yes the two pictures above are the same I just retook them with my camera and thought different thing about each people turned out better then the other so I put both of them up).
I was 7 weeks and 2 days along in the pictures, and the nausea had kicked in... The baby's heart rate was 147. It was really fun to see and hear the little heart moving and share the experience with Dean.
In the picture below I am somewhere in my 10th week.
We just had our Second appointment on Thursday Feb 23, 2012 the heart rates was in the 150's-160's the Doctor said it sounded like a girl today, just cause the heart rate was fast, : ) but we will find out for sure on April 17th. I am currently 12 weeks and 3 days.
I am so grateful for my life! I have WONDERFUL, CARING, HARDWORKING, Husband who I love with all of my heart and I am so grateful I get to share this experience with him. I am grateful we are blessed to bring a Wonderful child of God into this world. I am one LUCKY and HAPPY mom to be.
