I'm Pregnant!

This weekend I went up to Canyon Lake with my best friend and her mom (Mom 2 but for now I will refer to her as mom since that is what I call her). I needed a weekend just to get away from all the TTC stress and unwind. I just needed a weekend of not having to pick up after Nathan or take care of him. I just needed to do absoloutely nothing for a change. I left friday at 3ish. Well I left work at that time and we got on the road around 4ish after meeting at Candy's house that is like 45 mins away. That night I am craving chocolate and cheese and I munch on some before going to bed.

Saturday we were on our way to the Gruene Market Days and all of a sudden I felt extremely weak, dizzy, nauseated, and hot. So I asked Mom if we could stop for a bite. She said yes and after a while I felt much better. We went shopping at the outlet malls in new braunsfels and had a blast. That night I felt nauseated and icky but nothing too bad. We watched a movie before bed.

I only brought one pregnancy test with me because I was trying to take a break from the whole TTC nervous breakdown. Well my period should have started this weekend and when I took my temps they went up slightly. I got up and took my pregnancy test expecting to be disappointed. I see a VERY faint pink line. I wait for Mom and Candice to get up before asking them if they see the line or if I am seeing what I want. I ask if we can go get a test with the positive/negative signs. Mom says sure so we go and hunt one down. The nearest place was 15 mins away. We get back to the condo and I pee. I see a little pink plus sign. Again, I ask them to confirm at which point there are giggles, squeals of joy, hugs and kisses and tears from me of course.

The drive home was a long one. Mom even drove 80 MPH the whole way so we could get home faster. I didn't want to tell Nathan over the phone. I wanted to tell him in person. Before we left the resort mom bought a little lamb and a baby shirt. When I got home Candy and Mom followed me in and I told Nathan to walk to me and close his eyes. Then I told him hold his hands out together in front of him and placed the stuff in his hands. His reaction was priceless and he was so excited.

I took another test this morning (yes a different brand) as well as a blood test. The blood test came back positive and I scheduled my first prenatal appointment today. I am so excited. I feel like utter crap right now, but it is totally worth it to have what we have been waiting for!
