My husband and I married on June 13, 2009. We didn't "officially" start trying to get pregnant until after July. We were going to wait until after November when I was signed up for a 1/2 Ironman. However, I've had a knee injury that has interfered with my training causing me to be unable to run. So, we decided to start trying!
My race was on November 7th, 2009. I took a pregnancy test the night before but it was negative. I took another test the next Tuesday and it was negative too. I really wasn't feeling pregnant, certainly not according to all of the symptoms I had read online. I decided to take another test on Thursday at Rite Aid...and it was positive! I ended up taking 4 tests total just to make sure I really was pregnant. I didn't have any symptoms and really felt like it wasn't real!
I bought a baby bib that said "I love Daddy" and place it in a bag for my husband. When he first opened it, he didn't understand what was going on. All the sudden, the reality hits him and he starts sweating!! I was able to record it on film to show our child when they are older. In fact, I was able to record all the parents as well. I plan on making a CD for my baby album.
I've slowly told close friends and coworkers. I was going to wait until week 8, when we have our first ultra sound but the rumors were swirling and people were asking me at school. Its funny how good news travels fast!
I really haven't had many symptoms at all. I've been a little queasy but not completely nauseous. I've noticed small changes in my body but they are very minor. I'm excited about the ultra sound next week so we can finally see the little bean. Its really hard to believe until you see it. My husband and I are just super excited to finally be at this place in our lives. Stay tuned!
