A New Beginning!
I'm the type of person who has always put others before myself. I have a huge heart, an even bigger sense of humor. I am an only child and my mom is my rock - she is my everything. If it weren't for her (and raisning me on her own), I don't know where I would be today, and for that, I am more than thankful. The best compliment anyone could ever give me would be them telling me that I remind them of my mom. My fiance and I have been together for a little over a year now, and we didn't really 'expect' to get pregnant (right now, anyway). In December, I had this odd feeling come over me (which would be too hard for me to describe, lol), but something told me to take a pregnancy test. My fiance brought a test home and I hurried up to find out the results. (Note: a month prior, I had this 'out-of-the-ordinary' craving for lemon-anything lemon... which has a little to do with this 'feeling.) I took the first test....positive??? I took the second test...POSITIVE??? I wasn't sure I was reading the directions correctly, as far as how faint the lines are supposed to be, etc. I ended up taking 4 HPT b/c I was in shock and didn't believe it. I ended up having to buy a test that actually said "YES" or "NO". I didn't want to deal with anymore lines! All of the tests were in fact right... I was/am pregnant!!! We found out on December 17th, which ironically was the same exact day that he proposed a year prior! I have finally made it to my very first doctors appointment (at 11 wks), did some testing and everything went well. Doc thought I was only 8-9 weeks, but come to find out, I was 11 weeks. I was able to go in the following day for my very first ultrasound! Up until the point of the u/s, none of this felt real at all. I needed some sort of REAL PROOF! That's exactly what I got - proof. I saw Baby and s/he had both hands on the side of face like s/he was sleeping...like an angel pose--I was in 'Awe', then I saw the flicker of the heart beat, and I heard the heart beat. It is definitely a feeling that is hard to describe to someone who hasn't been pregnant. I never understood it.... until now. =) It's an overwhelming, yet calming feeling/experience, and for once, I am okay with the overwhelming part. Baby is due August 16th, (and I am BEYOND terrified of the thought of being in labor.).
