Wow, it really has been a very long time since I wrote. But who can blame me??? All I would have to talk about is being pregnant and we only spilled the beans a few days ago. So, now it's safe to blog my little heart out. And boy have plans changed from my last post to this one.
In my last post I went on and on about how we were going to run every 5k, I haven't ran for a good 2 months. Because I've been so yuck. My doctor told me once I started to feel better I could go back to my usual routine. I ran a mile the other day, and about died. So scratch the every 5k ;) I still intend to go on bike rides while I still can and don't have a big belly ruining my balance, and I still intend to hike. But camping, maybe not as much. I can hardly get comfortable in my own bed now days haha oh it's a glamorous life! ;)
So how did we find out we were pregnant? Did we expect it? How'd we take it? I thought I'd be answering all these questions differently than I'm about to when I look back on how I imagined everything to be!
1. We found out we were pregnant because I was a few days late, I wasn't sure if the test said positive, so I sent Kohn to the store to buy more tests while I gulped down some water so I'd have to pee again, took two more tests, they said positive, we kind of looked at each other like we didn't know anything, we went to work, during my lunch break I went to the doctors office and took ANOTHER test, was told it was positive and set up some appointments. Totally not how I pictured it.
I had pictured a perfect morning where Kohn was already at work, I took a test and was smart enough to know the first time it said positive ;) I was going to get some cute daddy stuff and surprise him that night after work, or something. I didn't have it all planned, but it was going to be good. Nothing quite turns out like you'd expect huh? ;)
You see, back in November I was having some woman issues so I went to the doctor, explained my symptoms and had an ultrasound done and found some cysts. In January I had surgery to remove the three of them, and while they were doing surgery they found I have endometriosis. Which can cause issues with fertility. My doctor told me to expect it to take 6 months from that point, because they had just burnt it all off and everything was good for the time being so my body would just have to adjust.
I constantly was wanting it to happen "NOW" because endometriosis doesn't go away. It keeps building up every cycle you have. So the more cycles I had the worse it would get again. March was the only month I seriously accepted it would take a while and really didn't think it would happen. And what do ya know? Bam! Baby!
So to answer the "Did we expect it?" question. No. We were prepared for it to happen in the fall.
How did we take it? We were shocked, then ecstatic, and then I was scared out of mind! Expecting everything to go wrong. My family gives me grief for being a hypochondriac, Kohn now agrees 110% with that statement. We had an emotional first couple of weeks. But after MANY blessings and prayers I finally gained some confidence in this process and just get all excited when I read weekly updates about how my baby is growing!
This process seriously is a miracle! All these amazing things are going on inside my body and I can't even wrap my head around it! It's just seriously amazing, and hearing that heartbeat for the first time was incredible! There are two hearts beating right here :) pretty special I think.
Now before I drag this on anymore I will wrap up my rambling and start my weekly questions! Maybe this will make me blog more :)
How far along? 13 weeks! Finally out of the 1st trimester :)
Total weight gain/loss: I'm not sure. It still fluctuates like normal. Maybe 2 lbs.
Sleep: It's hard to get comfortable. I'm a stomach sleeper and that just doesn't work for me anymore. I need to buy a body pillow or something.
Best moment this week: Finally getting to tell the rest of our family and friends!
Miss anything? Eating food that I apparently don't like anymore.
Movement: I know it's going on in there it's just too early for me to feel it!
Food cravings: Fruit roll ups.
Have you started to show yet? I tell people all the time it looks more like a food baby than anything ;)
Gender? We both have thought girl from day one, the chinese gender chart says girl, the heartbeats/minute would say girl according to old wives tales...so it's probably a boy ;)
Labor signs? Definitely not.
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time? Well it really depends...an episode of Glee made me cry today, so let's go with emotional ;)
Looking forward to: Not having to hide my belly. But right now it's just not cute haha
