Pregnant!

Well, it all started on March 9th, 2011, when this little stick told us that we were expecting a new, little addition to the family!! Actually, I started testing on a whim two days before, but didn't really believe those exceptionally faint lines until I saw this big, fat, digital "Pregnant". Some days I still don't believe it, though it's getting easier with the lovely symptoms that are cropping up...but I'll get to that. So, according to the calendar, I was four weeks pregnant on March 9th. Being the paranoid type, I decided to try to get in to see the doctor right away (even though they generally don't see you until 6-8 weeks), because I was having some cramps on one side. It turns out the cramps are completely normal (and still occurring), and they were impressed (or maybe laughing a bit) that I already knew and had come in so quickly...even before my "missed period" was due. At least my mind was put at least somewhat at ease, and they went ahead and did the first exam and took half my blood to test for every possible disease and condition. I told the daddy-t0-be that night with a card I found that said "Looks like God is still in the business of miracles". He was happy and excited, but mostly shocked. This was only our second month trying, and neither of us thought it would happen so soon. We were very thankful and excited...but shocked! : )
