We're pregnant. PREGNANT. And so stinkin excited. Well, Ryan is cautious. He says one of us has to be. I know I'll get my heart broken again if we miscarry again, but how can I not be excited???
So the story is this. We had to wait a month to start trying again after the m/c. We did as the doctor asked, but this month I was just not into all the temp charting and obsessing so we just decided to let things happen. I'd pretty much figured we would not get lucky this month, but IT HAPPENED.
Last week I had been really tired, but never really thought anything about it. Then, we went camping and on Saturday I went running. I was exhausted from running in the sand, and when I got back to the campground I could smell everyone cooking sausage and coffee and I about threw up. I figured it was because I was out of breath and tired. Well, for the rest of the weekend I was in a rotten mood on and off, and Sunday I was so tired I probably could have slept all day. I summed up the attitude to it being Father's Day and me being bummed that I wasn't pregnant anymore and Ryan wasn't really considered a "father-to-be". Just bummin from the m/c. Well, turns out we were going to be parents. OHh and on the way home from camping, I craved KFC so bad. I almost cried when we drove 45 minutes looking for a KFC and we couldn't find one. (we finally found one on Cedar Street, and I was in my glory).
Anyway, we got home from camping, unpacked a bit, I looked through my pictures from the weekend and about 1am I was getting ready for bed. I opened the bottom drawer in the bathroom to put away my straightening iron, and there was my last pregnancy test from April. So, I thought, What the heck. I'll pee on a stick and see what happens. I figured that even if we were pregnant, we wouldn't be far enough along for it even to register. Well, after sitting there nervous for a minute, telling myself I'm an idiot for getting my hopes up, it said PREGNANT. I ran to the bedroom and jumped on the bed to wake Ryan up. He was in a dead sleep and could barely read the test. He said "Just take another one tomorrow- don't get too excited." Men. What the heck.
Anyway, another test yesterday was PREGNANT again. And that was after drinking like 40 oz of water within 2 hours before that. So my HCG levels must be pretty decent, I hope.
I am so thrilled. I have a good feeling about this one, the timing is perfect. I hope God is wanting this for us as much as we do. I hope this is in His plan.
