We are going to have a baby!!!
We are going to have a baby!!!
For about a week before we found out, I sort of had a feeling that I was pregnant. I was having weird symptoms that weren't typically normal for me. Then on Thursday, May 24th at 12:58, on my lunch break at work, I took an at home pregnancy test. And to my semi-surprise, IT WAS POSITIVE!!!
Now, we have only been married for a couple days short of 7 weeks, so it's a bit soon, but I guess God didn't think so. I have to tell you though, the entire we before, I was a wreck. Have you ever seen the Disney movie, Tangled? Well, you know at the beginning when Rapunzel finally leaves her castle and she goes from one extreme to the other about being free and disobeying her mother? That was seriously me the entire week. It was like a war zone in my head between not wanting to start a family yet and it would be nice to start a family right now....
After I took the home pregnancy test, I called my doctor and got an appointment for the next morning to confirm. And guess what?! I really am pregnant :) As of right now, our due date is January 29th, 2013. Yet another January birthday for our families......You see, I told Joe from the beginning that I absolutely did not want a baby born between the end of November and end of February, because between both our families we have 7 birthdays, with 4 of them being in January alone! And now 5 counting little Baby West. God has a funny sense of humor sometimes.....
We have our first ultrasound in two weeks to hopefully hear the heartbeat and also get a more accurate timeline of how far along I am. I really cannot wait!
I know that Joe and I are going to be great parents and we have wonderful families and friends surrounding us all over the country to help us out. Though we are nervous and anxious, we are both very excited for this next step in life.
LoveAlways,
