We are pregnant!

So, I guess with a death a new life is formed. At least in our circumstances. Over the weekend I took 4 pregnancy tests and they were all positive. I was reluctant to get my hopes up or act excited because I thought for sure I would be the 1 person out of a million that would get a false positive. So I went to see my General Physician today and they confirmed my pregnancy. I’m roughly 4 weeks, still very early. However, I am absolutely elated. Gene and I are both sooo excited and look forward to the next 9 months and then the birth of our child.

I’m having my first ultrasound next Friday, September 12th. And then on October 8th I will get to meet my OBGYN for the very first time. I’ve heard good things about her so I hope I like her a lot :) If we don’t, we’ll find someone else. But she sounds fantastic!

So far I haven’t had any major symptoms but I am experiencing a few. I have had a lot of tightness in my stomach and I have been cramping for about 5 days now. Like menstrual cramps. It’s all normal, don’t worry. But it kind of sucks! It’s one of those really annoying things. And it’s causing me to not eat very much because who likes to eat when your tummy is hurting like that? Not me! I’m also experiencing the typical sore breasts but not unbearable. Let me explain that I am in no way complaining. I am thankful for these symptoms as it lets me know that my body is working hard to create the perfect environment for our baby to grow and live in for the next 8 months.

I’d like to think that maybe Grandma had this little trick up her sleeve. Like I said previously, I struggle with my beliefs and spirituality. But how amazing is it that 2 weeks after Grandma passes, I find myself pregnant. It’s definitely something to think about….
