So this is my first post, and is going to be a short one because I am exhausted! :)
I just found out this past Tuesday (about 5 days ago) that I am pregnant!!! After about 4 years of worrying that I may have problems getting pregnant, we have conceived without even trying! I was amazed and pretty overwhelmed when I took that first pregnancy test. I was literally speechless. I could not even tell Tyler the results of the pregnancy test, I just handed it to him not knowing how to react.
Afterwards we laid on the bed just looking at each other, and I told him I don't know whether to cry or to laugh, I felt like doing both! I was overwhelmed with emotion, and trying to process the fact that we are going to be parents! What an amazing and scary idea!
After using a due date calculator application online, it seems that I am 8 weeks prego with our sweet baby. I can't wait to find out if it's a girl or a boy, and to see where God takes us with this journey! He promised us a baby, and although this was not our timing I could not be more thrilled! I am constantly amazed at what God is doing in our lives!
This past week I have had morning sickness (ALL DAY!) and get very tired very easily. However, I am enjoying telling everybody this great news! Everyone is so excited for us, and we all can't wait to meet this new addition to our lives! I am excited to experience the ups and downs of pregnancy, and I am so amazed at how much I already love my little one! I am also amazed at how this has changed even the smallest decisions that I make! My life from now on is about this baby, and I absolutely love it!
You will undoubtedly be an awesome mother. Tyler will be a great father...this baby will not lack the very willing and loving helpers. They say it takes a village to raise a child, "they" aren't lying however, sometimes the rush of knowledge, solicited or not, will be overwhelming. The only advice I can give is go with your gut. You are the mommy and you know your body. You make the calls! Tyler will trust you and follow your lead. Once you deliver this advice will carry through the only thing that will change is: You are mommy, You know how YOUR child acts, and you and Tyler are the best qualified individuals to make the decisions regarding y'all's child. I'm so excited to see you both grow and change during this journey. Its a patience building, laughter inducing, tear inciting, roller coaster of fun. Enjoy the ride y'all! :-) I love you both.
