Odd title since I'm pregnant, right? Well, I'm going to keep on with my "diet" and such. I never lost the weight I gained with Mackenzie so I CAN'T gain weight with this pregnancy. So yesterday when I posted the news, I was too antsy to think of what to write so you missed all the details of how we found out & reacted. Well because of my weight (due to an unnatrual love of fast food) I had been having problems menstrating. I only had 4 periods in 2010 and 1 of those was brought on by a pill prescribed by my OB/GYN. Instead of going on that horrible pill again I decided to see if losing weight would help. After a few weeks and 14 pounds lost I started feeling pretty blah. I bought an ovulation test kit just to see and the first test I took came back positive. I couldn't believe it. I took another one the next day...positive. Well, I got a positive result all week! That's not normal so I looked up what would cause that. 2 things came up: pregnangy and a cyst. I figured it was probably a cyst because of all my problems. A week later I decided to take a pregnancy test just to see and it came back negative. Now I was sure it was a cyst. I prepared to make a doctor's appt to get everything checked out. A week later (Thursday, Jan. 27th) I took another pregnancy test so I would be 100% positive I was not pregnant before I went to the Dr. Well...this is the test I took:
Yep, definitely didn't expect that to show up lol. I was shaking so bad when I read that. I was excited, yet nervous. Kenzie is such a hand full all by herself, am I going to be able to handle 2 kids? I think we all ask ourselves those questions. I am very excited, though :-) So I had my first Dr's appt yesterday and they confirmed it. We have no clue when my due date is, though, but I'm guessing I'm about 5 weeks along which would put me due the beginning of October. Steve's birthday is October 4th and my sister's is the 2nd. Maybe we can shoot for the 3rd? LOL.
Well, that's how it all went down. Crazy, huh? I mean, what were the chances of me getting a positive on my ovulation test the first try and then getting pregnant? After not having a period for months? It must be fate :-) I'll definitely keep you all updated on this exciting time in our lives!
How far along? Not sure but I'm guessing 5 weeks.
