And The Ride Begins....

Monday 08-09-10

Welp, our time has come....to be parents! And let me tell you what...I could NOT be more excited. I have dreamed of being a mommy ever since I was a little girl. It really is a dream come true for me. I absolutely love children and am so glad that God has blessed us with this opportunity. Joyful: that's me!



The Low Down:
Morgan and I weren't "trying" per say...but we weren't "preventing" either. But over the past couple months I have really been hoping the time would come sooner than later. I just feel so ready, ya know.
A few days ago I woke up feeling nauseous. That was my first sign that something was up. But after I ate breakfast I was fine. So, I got ready for work and off I went. Then a couple hours later I got a headache. And a headache that lasted ALL darn day! I took Advil and later ibuprofen but neither seemed to help. That evening I decided to nap to see if that would help rid my annoying headache. Thankfully, it did.

However, the next day I woke up feeling nauseous AGAIN! Now something is not right.
Sunday morning about 6am , I got up to let the dogs outside and Morgan was stumbling in the door. He had been out all night and morning on a party bus with his friends. He came in and was telling me all about it and I was trying to stand there without feeling like I was going to fall over. So, I went to the bathroom and....you know...peed on the stick.
It says you are supposed to wait like three mins but I looked at it after a few seconds. I thought I saw a really faint line but wasn't for sure. I called Morgan in the bathroom and got him to check it out and he said he thought he saw a line.
I said, "Well, if that is a line...then that means I am pregnant." His reaction, "Good! I hope ya are!" Then after a few off to bed he went.

I wasn't sure about the test so I called Ann to tell her and she suggested going and getting another test. So, she went with me and I got one of the digital tests. It plainly reads 'Pregnant' or 'Not Pregnant'.
Well, I waited on that test result and Ann was looking at the test while it was processing. I went over and looked and holy smokes and banana balls it said PREGNANT!!! I squealed and cried and hugged her and could definitely barely breathe. I was SO SO SO excited I didn't know what to do with myself. And from there I picked up the little ol' cell phone and started making the calls to spread the news. I know I found out really early on. But I just could not hold back the news. I mean I would have liked to wait until my pregnancy is further along but I just couldn't. And of course I had to post on Facebook so that everyone and their dog would know too. :)



This morning Morgan and I went to the clinic on base and they had me take a urine test again to confirm my pregnancy there. Then I got paperwork and vitamins and yadda ya. I also had to schedule my first OB appointment and it is set for September 3. That seems SO far away. But I am glad it is a ways away because by that time we will get to see the little heartbeat. :)
And today I definitely "feel" pregnant. Every two hours I feel the need to eat. This can NOT be happening! Because if I continue eating every two hours...I will be as big as Buddha!
I am just going to stock up on fruits and veggies and healthy snacks so that when I do need to eat I am not eating 300 calories every hour. hehe

Well, this is all for now. I am still on cloud 9 and can't wait to meet our lil' Jonesie.
Stay tuned...
