I’m Knocked Up

Its Official

I’m pregnant. Beta was 50, which I thought was a little low but doc said not to worry. He wants to see me in three weeks to see the heartbeat. So no more blood tests which makes me nervous. I kept thinking yesterday how will I know I am still pregnant while I am waiting? My lovely body had an answer… it started with a killer headache about 4pm and progressed into full on nauseau until I went to bed. A. responded by trying to pamper me but it was sort of like a migraine where you can’t move or speak or you get sick…

SHOCK

I think we are both in a state of shock. We’ve told one friend and my grandparents. We are meeting A’s mom on Thursday to tell her in person (she lives 1.5 hours away and will be driving through town around lunchtime) After that we have one more friend couple to tell and thats it till Easter. I just can hardly believe it. We were so on the edge of giving up hope. I don’t want to sound cheesy – but it is a miracle. A. has already bought a scientific looking pregnancy book and started making meals conducive to the first trimester. She also informed me that our little bugger is the size of a poppy seed.

To-Do List

Find a doula. Tell A.’s mom. Change to Prenatal Vitamins. Go buy something baby like. (we have done an outrageous thing and not purchased a single baby item. I don’t think it was superstition, but we just couldn’t bring ourselves to. Today – I’m going on my lunch break and buying a bib or outfit to give to A.’s mom. Thats how we decided we would tell her.

BlogWorld

I feel awkward about talking about the pregnancy. I carefully avoided the pregnancy blogs during different times of the month because I couldn’t bear the jealousy. Now, I know some of you who have been tagging along for this adventure will tune out a bit. I want to be clear about something though. I am so thankful to be here. I am terrified that it won’t last. If I complain about a pain or sickness, please know I would much rather have it then not. I am very grateful. For those of you who need to tune out, I look forward to reading your pregnancy blog soon.
