It's official....WE ARE PREGNANT!!

I'm still in a state of shock, I'm not going to lie.

Let me give you a little background for those of you who don't know our journey.

We started TTC (trying to conceive) in October 2009. We thought, lets just see what happens. It can't be that hard to get pregnant, right? I mean, I see atleast 2 pregnant women a day.

Well, we quickly realized it wasn't as easy as we thought. So, when we realized it was a lot harder than just having sex (sorry folks), we knew we had to do something else. I started charting along with a few other things I won't mention. If you don't know what charting is, it's when you take your temperature every morning at the same time. You monitor your temps and when it spikes and stays up, that means you've ovulated. When it starts to go back down past your cover line (your average temp) then that means your period is about to come.

I charted for 7 months....wow, it was starting to consume my life but I know it's the reason we are pregnant today!!

I also went to a see a Naturopathic Dr, Daddy A got a Semen Analysis (came back normal) and I set up an appointment for Sept 13th to talk about testing. HA....don't need that appointment anymore. YAY!

So, Wednesday September 1, 2010, I woke up at 5:30 am to take my temperature and noticed it had gone up. I was only 11 days past ovulation (DPO) but thought, "eh, why not, we'll see what happens. If it's negative, I'll take another one tomorrow." Well.....the first one was a cheap test and the second line was VERY faint. I had only 1 digital test and decided to go for it......................PREGNANT!!! I stood there, with my mouth to the ground freaking out. Daddy A was sleeping and I had to shower so I hopped in. I immediately start to cry and thank the Lord for blessing us with this miracle.

I get out of the shower and decide I just have to tell Daddy A (I really wanted to do something cute lol) and I said "I took a pregnancy test and it said pregnant." He said "holy shit, are you serious?" I would NOT lie about something we've been waiting, hoping and praying for, for 10 months.

Unbelieveable day. A day, we will never forget. A day, I will tell to many many people. A day I still have to tell to a few more very important people!!

This is the beginning of a very important journey for us and I hope you're ready to watch Baby A and my belly grow because I'll be putting it all out there (here).

My first Dr's appointment is set for September 13th. There will be no ultrasound but probably just blood work to "confirm" pregnancy. I can't waaaaaaaaaaaaaait!!!!
