Rude awakening....literally.

What can I say? Though I'm new to this pregnancy game, I thought I had it all figured out. I expected to be tired and the nausea I was experiencing was surely durable, so I thought I had a hang of this thing they call "morning sickness'. So if you ask my friends they'd quote me saying, "oh it's not that bad, yeah I get nauseous but it's really not that bad". Well, the feeling I felt yesterday morning was inhumane. I'm lying in bed asleep and a strong force literally woke me. I sat up to try to ease the discomfort and no position would comfort me. I stood up and the saga began. I rush to the bathroom and let's just say both ends were occupied. I FELT HORRIBLE!! So this is what they call morning sickness and the only comfort that anyone could give me was "It's only this bad for the first trimester". What!?! That is three months of my life that I must feel like every vital organ is flushing itself. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade this pregnancy for anything-not even to never feel that way again. I will ,however, be praying that my little one is a little nicer to me...I promise to make it up to ya!!! :) But if you choose not to little one then it's Ok. I'll look at the sickness as your way of letting me know you're in there, and that for me is comfort enough.

OMG!!!!!!

I AM PREGNANT. Ok so I sat here debating how I should write this entry. Should I talk about the end of the 2 week wait and then lead to the news or should I just come out with it. It seems I couldn't come up with anything else until I got those three wonderful words out. I AM PREGNANT!!!! We are so excited. I would love to say I had the patience to wait the entire two weeks but the last few days were tortuous. In fact I actually took a test on day 6 and it was negative. Though I knew it was too early to tell, I was still somehow a little disappointed. Taking that test early, however, ended up being a good thing. The doctor explained that I shouldn't test early because sometimes the trigger shot (ovidrel) will give you a false positive since it has the pregnancy hormone (HCG) in it. Well testing early (day 6) and getting a negative meant that the medicine had run its course and was no longer in my system. So on day 11, my husband and I went to the store and bought 4 pregnacy test. We both declared that even though we had the test we would still wait until day 14 to test. Well, we didn't stick to that plan. Day 12, Memorial Day, I woke up with the extreme urge to use the restroom. I turned over looked at my husband and he already knew what I wanted to do. Deep down he was anxious to see as well. So I convinced him that if it was negative I wouldn't break down, and I would understand that it could be to early to tell. Well, it wasn't. As soon as I took the test, despite the suggested three minute wait, the word "Pregnant" popped up on the screen. I was so shocked, I think there was a little disbelief. My husband looked at it and hasn't stop grinning since. I took a test everyday until day 14 and they all (digital, plus or minus, line or no line) said that I am pregnant. I called the nurse on Day 14 to tell her the news and she asked me to come in to confirm with bloodwork. After waiting all day for the results call, I was so relieved to here her say "Yes mam, you are pregnant". We are so happy, and so thankful that God has answered our prayers. Words can't express our gratitude.
