Something to Blog About

So I'm finding out that I'm not very good at keeping up with blogging, and I think I have discovered the problem......I simply don't have enough exciting things going on in my life to justify writing every few days :P However, all of that is about to change and the blogging community is about to hear from me more frequently because as it so happens, I DO have some news that will give me some writing ammo for the next 9 months or so :)

In my last post I told you I would write again when I had some news, as so that bring me to this post today. Nick and I have been talking about wanting to have a family over the past few months, and we just recently decided to get serious about it ;) Well two weeks ago or so I began to suspect that I was pregnant (I won't go into detail about why :) ) and so a week ago this past Friday I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep as that was the day I was planning on taking one of those pregnancy tests. So, after lying in bed for about 25 minutes I finally got up and snuck downstairs to take the test without waking up Nick.

Well it didn't take long for that second little pink line to show up in the result window and a feeling of disbelief came over me! I was so excited that I got online right then to see if it was possible to get a false positive result in my case and it wasn't!!! I didn't tell Nick that I had taken it yet as I wanted to take a second one and make sure before telling him! Well the second test concluded what the first had and so I called and told Nick; however, he wanted me to take one more because he just "wanted to make sure" :) So I got one of those digital ones that is supposed to read "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant" and a very conclusive "Pregnant" read on the screen less than a minute into the test!

So needless to say he finally believed me and we now have an appointment made for January 4th for our first doctor visit. They apparently are going to do an ultrasound first and then I will see my doctor so we have an idea of when my due date will be. I am excited yet nervous because I am just afraid something is going to go wrong and then we will have gotten our hopes up for nothing. Anyhow, as for telling the family, Mom and Dad and Gma and Gpa were up here at our house yesterday to spend the day with us, and I gave them the news as an early Christmas present. I actually took a picture of the 3 positive pregnancy tests and put it in an adoreable fram that said "Grandkids" around the edges.

Needless to say they were super surprised and Mom was in disbelief most of the day :) I have been feeling extremely good except for being extra thirsty, emotional, and clumsy! I feel fortunate that I haven't had any morning sickness and haven't been excessively tired, and so hopefully that continues :) So that is my big news, and before this post gets unreadably long I will wrap it up!
