Our first pregnancy!
This is my first time being pregnant! My husband and I are extremely excited! My due date is 12-21-11. I am thrilled yet nervous for the changes that are in our future, but I guess that is to be expected. We have a ton of "furry-four legged" children, so it will be quite the change getting use to a real baby. :) My DH just had a dream last week that I was pg, and he was soooo very happy. Well go figure that he would be the one to predict it because I took a test and it was positive less than a week later! My DH and I have been together for 8 years and have been married going on 3 years. I guess you could call us high school sweethearts....but we did wait a few years out of high school to get married. We are only 3 years apart (him older then me). And amazingly enough we have a wonderful marriage. I still cant believe we have been together for 8 years, it doesnt seem that long at all, which is good I hope :) Yes, we do argue, but who doesnt? I love it because we throughly enjoy being with eachother. We dont always agree on everything, nor do we enjoy all of the same things, but that is what keeps things interesting. The main things we have incommon though, so thats what counts. I grew up in a very disfunctional home. (But who hasnt!) My mother is a recovering meth addict and my father is an alcoholic. I have not had contact with my father for a few years and dont really plan on telling him that I am pg. It would make things too complicated and stressful. My mother is sooooo overly excited, and my biggest hope is that she can stay clean not only for herself now, but for her soon to be grandchild. She is an amazing person who has just made some bag choices. I want my child to know the real her, the one I admire. I also have an amazing aunt and uncle that my child will grow up know them as grandparents as well. I lived with my aunt for sometime in highschool and she is like a second mother to me. DH's family is also somewhat dysfunctional. I love his mother and step-father. But his dad is more difficult to like. DH and him have a very strange relationship, but I am hoping he can step up and at least be a good grandfather. I am honestly not sure how I feel about him being a big part of our childs life, but I know it would be unfair, not only to our child, but to my DH as well if I were to deny their relationship. This is definitely something I will have to work on..... I am wanting to go back to school and finish my psych degree and then go on to my masters in counseling. I will continue on-line, just trying to get motivated to complete the process. Right now I enjoy my job, but have no passion for it. I am an optometrist assistant and while it is a challenging and rewarding job, I just dont feel a connection to it. However, I am soooo very proud and happy for my DH because he has found a career that he is excelling at quickly and thoroughly loves. I am happy to have found this site to help me through this life changing event. I am very fortunate to have close friends and a great family support system. I look forward to December when DH and I can hold our fist born in our arms knowing that life will never be the same. :)
