Yes, for those of you faithfully facebook followers and my family and my friends... I am in deed with child, have a bun in the oven, am preggo, am pregnant.. you get the point. Either way, I am super excited! Now it did take me a while to write this because I had so many emotions running through my head and this post would have been a mess. There have been bad emotions and good emotions. ( Its all good now though ). I do express myself a whole lot better when I write ( or type ) so this is for you and me in a way.
I first found out actually on my sister's birthday. I had a hunch but thought my body was still healing so maybe thats why I was late. After the first one came my faintly positive, I waited a couple of more days and then did 2 more which came out a little more positive. I immediately told Ramon and then that same morning I had my checkup with my infectious doctor. He added the HCG blood test to my regular test and the nurse called me and confirmed that I was indeed pregnant that afternoon. Long story short, my baby doctor did 2 more blood tests to make sure the numbers were doubling and they more than tripled! Great news! So our first ultrasound is on my mom's birthday which is November 5th. Im nervous because of everything I have went through but so far so good. Ramon is nervous as well but we are both counting down the days to make sure everything is good!
I am the most impatient person out there. I know the myth. You arent supposed to break the news until you are least past your first trimester. With Drew, I told everyone as soon as the stick turned positive. I think with your first one, you are just so happy that the myth sort of gets ignored. I remember a lot of friends telling people as soon as they peed on the stick! I think maybe you should wait just in case something does happen ( like my miscarriage in Jan ) however I dont think telling people beforehand is going to cause something to happen. So either way, we told. Ramon would have waited, but I couldnt keep it in anymore. Every morning that I woke up, I got more excited. My face was a tell tell that something was up. In fact, I tried to stay away from my parents even because they can read me like a book. Luckily they went to GA so I could hide it on Skype.. lol. I did tell my sister first and then my aunt and then he told his brother. Then from there, we waited and told the rest of the family ( parents included on the car home from GA.. maybe not such a good idea ) and then took a cute pic and announced it on Facebook=)
As far as reactions go.. there were quite a mix. Given that I had been so sick about 2 months ago, the thought of me carrying a life inside of me was quite a shock. Along with that shock came scared. Now dont get me wrong, I was scared too. Here I thought God had given me another chance at life and the fact though that he is given me a life to carry is just a miracle to me. I still believe that God never gives you anything that you can't handle. Was it a bad timing... yes. Was I scared at first.. yes. Was I shocked.. yes and all above. BUT am I happy now... yes. So for everyone who is doubting this I just have to believe that they will come around eventually. I know they will.. they have to. There is really nothing they or I can do about it.
So we just look forward to what God had given us and take each day at a time. I know he is there and will never leave us. In my time of doubts and fears is when I pray the most. However I pray each day that he takes care of not only my soon to be little one that he looks over my family as well and gives them the strength to face the future with us. We need all of the support we can get=)
Until next time..
=)
