I have finally decided to join the blogging world. I feel like my life is zipping by with my kiddies and I thought I should stop and take a few notes so I can remember this journey of parenting. So speaking of parenting ...we have some news! I am 6 weeks pregnant! Yup for those of you who know me I know your jaws have dropped ...heck you probably are lying on the floor in complete and utter shock! Well apparently miracles do happen and we are totally thrilled! Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought this ...no when my mother googled why my breasts would be so sore...it said "pre-menopausal symptom" and I immediately thought I just got the short end of the hormone stick! Prior to her googling I figured I just had breast cancer and I was going to loose them all together. This pain continued on over 3 weeks! Then at the bottom of the list symptoms it said sign of early pregnancy. Not believing for a second ...I slept on it and decided to take the test in the morning. So on Friday, Aug. 12th I peed on a stick and I got my first positive! Well I was ecstatic to say the very least...I immediately began the happy dance in my nightie (no undergarments on yet so that didn't last long) but I did run down stairs in tears to my mother who was having her first cup of coffee on the deck. With one eye open she says....what is that? I told her a pregnancy test ..and it says I am pregnant! By this time I am rolling around the deck crying, laughing ...my poor mother didn't know what to do with me. So of course we called Jordie right away to tell him ..and his response ..."How exciting, I knew it" wait...you knew it ...how the heck? Well I was happy with the response it was better than the "Oh $#*!" I thought he was going to say! We got to celebrate only for a few minutes because then I was off to the hairdressers! To see sweet Kathy ...who didn't know what she was going to get when she opened the door that morning! (after swearing our news to secrecy with Jordan) It only took me about 2 seconds to tell Kathy! Yup still my husband doesn't know (well he does now as he is reading this) that I told my hair dresser (who is also a friend I might add) before anyone knew. I was dying ...filled with excitement and terror I was bursting to tell! Thank you for listening Kathy! After the hair appointment ...my wonderful mother went down to our local pharmacy and bought two more tests! (I couldn't get into the doctor until 4:30) and we were both yearning for more answers! I am sure the pharmacist was looking at my 56 year old mother thinking ... "good for you" when she asked for the tests! lol Well I took the test and it was positive as well! At this point I am thinking well maybe this is true....that afternoon went by so slow while we waited to get into the Dr. Once in he says ...well what are we here for today. I promptly reply I think I am pregnant. He says ..well is this a good thing or a bad thing. I said, well a really good thing ...but very surprising! After 5 years of fertility, 5 husband inseminations and 2 adopted boys later we weren't really planning on having a baby! On top of that I am going back to work Sept. 1st and then the doctor quickly replys "and that is exactly why this happened!" LoL I had to giggle and then jump up and down and hug him when he said his results were the same as mine! We really did it...we really are growing a little chicken in my tummy! Thank you God for this opportunity to feel pregnant ...even with the excessive peeing, the nausea and lack of sleep because my brain won't shut off, I wouldn't have it any other way. I promise I won't complain as the symptoms worsen. I will embrace all of it.. I hope!
