Surprise!

Yep...I'm prego. Still feels like I'm telling a lie. I found out the night of September 23rd. It was the most surreal experience I've ever had. My breasts were EXTREMELY tender and I hadn't had any signs of my period I was supposed to be getting on Wednesday. I took a Dollar Store test just to prove to myself that I was in the clear...what a shock it was to see those two pink lines.




Of course that was not enough to make me believe it was true. Even the four tests I took later that night weren't enough to make it fully sink in. However, they were enough to bring on the tears and that awful pit in the stomach feeling. I took one more test the next day, just to be sure. After 6 positives, I figured it was probably true. I was sick over the thought of telling Sean. What a relief it was to have him be so positive about it. He was all in from the beginning and I knew everything would be okay. Telling everyone else went decent enough. It's to the point now where everyone is excited! And I finally am too! It only took 8 weeks for me to get there. (I'm 14 weeks along now. Just didn't jump on the blogging bandwagon until now!) We've gone to the doctor twice, baby is doing great! My due date is May 29th.


Little baby at 10 weeks!



I got this cute idea on Pinterest to make a chalkboard to write cute sayings on and take a picture next to every week. I figured it would be a fun way to keep track of progress.
