God is so good, because Steven and I had been told for some different reasons, it was going to most likely be difficult for us to get pregnant. So, after about 6 months of trying I had started to lose hope and get very discouraged, so I was soon to be started on Clomid and see if this would help speed up the process. Well, after much prayer and faith, we didn't even need the Clomid. I have irregularly long cycles and they normally last about 35 days. Well, on day 40 I started getting the feeling that I may need to take a test. Well, it is all true when people tell you it happens when you least expect it because that day I got home from work took the test, not thinking it would IMMEDIATELY be positive! THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE and the next hour it took to wait for Steven to get home from the gym was the longest hour of my life. He was happy, and couldn't wait to tell people, hence the facebook announcement, with me only being 9 weeks. The baby's la-st heartrate at 8 1/2 weeks was 174 and progressing very nicely! So if everyone could keep us in your prayers, I just cannot wait to get to the 2nd trimester in a few weeks when there is a little less worry to have.
How I've been feeling:
-SOOOO exhausted but this seems to be getting a little better or maybe I'm just managing it better.
-Starving a lot, and when I'm starving, WATCH OUT because I'm going to need to eat within the next 5-10 minutes
-I already feel like I'm showing, but it seems like it's way too early to be showing, so I assume it must be that I'm bloated, but my pants are definitely fitting much tighter.
-I am in love with fresh fruit, especially strawberries which is not such a bad thing, but I also love some fattening greasy foods too
-My dreams are crazy, so crazy they are waking me up in the middle of the night to where I can't get back to sleep.
-My hormones are pretty terrible so watch out Steven!!!!
-The headaches have started in the late afternoon when it's closing time at work, they usually wear off, but they are pretty terrible which they last :(
-I just pray that our little grape is growing and progressing like it should be, as much nausea and exhaustion I've felt, I'm assuming it has :)
Hope to keep this blog updated so that I can remember these special times.
Congratulations!! This is such exciting news & I wish you all the best throughout the pregnancy. Good Luck with the symptoms & I look forward to reading about your updates! You will be such a great mama : )
