And so it Begins!


I took my first test on Friday am, the second Saturday am and a third on Sunday...all positive! We still don't believe it but my husband and are are pretty excited! You see, I'm 33 yrs old and a bit of a worrier and was sure that either I wouldn't be able to conceive (like all women) or that it would take us a while to get pg...boy was I wrong! My new nickname for my hubby is "One Shot"! Ha!


We talked about starting to try in August, but I wanted to go off the pill now, for a few reasons. One being that I've been on it a while and the other cuz of my thyroid. My period was getting lighter and lighter (I know, who would complain, right?) and even tho I'm not a dr. this made me think something was wrong. So I went off in Dec. and I got my first normal period in years in Jan. No worries, everything is just fine and in working order. Wow! I totally forgot how awful they are (TG I won't have one for a while now!)! Along with the regular flow came the horrible cramps! My whole weekend was shot! While rolling around in bed all the wonderful memories of when I was not on the pill came flooding back.

Anyways...so Todd and I thought it would be fun to try. We figured it would prob take us at least a few months and who gets pregnant on the first try...right? WRONG and WRONG again!

I started feeling really hungry like a week or so later and then my belly started making all kinds of weird noises and was getting really gassy! I felt like I would explode if someone poked me with a pin! After 3 weeks I took a test and it came up negative. Ok, so I was just really hungry and gassy, right? WRONG again! I waited exactly one week and took another one before work...this was the first of four.
