We're Pregnant!!!

I don't even know what to say, or how to put into words how I feel.

Excited.

Nervous.

Happy.

Terrified.

I feel like I have been waiting for this moment my entire life and now that it is finally here I don't know how to feel!!

I'll be posting weekly about how everything is going and keeping everyone updated about this really exciting time in our lives!!!

(Please note that I will be writing each of these posts at the week I am currently at but you will most likely not see them be posted until around 8 weeks when we announce the good news to you all!!)

I am currently 4 weeks along as of yesterday (July 12, 2015) but this post is going to be all about finding out I was pregnant! So let’s begin...

Zack and I had originally planned to start trying in October so that we could announce the good news on Christmas. I was set on this plan and Zack was set on this plan but if anything happened sooner than I would be totally fine with that!! (: During the month of June we decided (I should say Zack decided) that what the heck, let's do this!

I like to research and read that you are not likely to get pregnant the first time around so we didn't think much of it. But for some weird, crazy, unexplainable reason, I just had this "feeling" I was pregnant. I told Zack this and as you could imagine he was a little nervous!

During the waiting time the only symptoms that really stood out to me were:

-Weird cramps. They didn't feel like normal cramps, more like a pinching feeling.

-Back pain. It kind of felt like the pain you get with a kidney infection to me but it wasn't just on one side.

-Starving. I was literally so hungry, ALL THE TIME! I would wake up with hunger pains every morning!

-Bloated. So much bloat!

Those were the things that stood out and made me cave and take a test!

I took a test early morning on July 7, 2015 and nothing. I was a bit disappointed because I felt like I KNEW I was pregnant, but I also knew it was still early to test.

Later that day I came home from work and took a nap. I had a dream during that nap that I got a positive, so I woke up and took another tests. BAM positive!! I ran out of the bathroom and ran to Zack taking a nap on the couch and said, "I told you!" "I told you!"

In his sleepy voice he said, "Cool" and went back to sleep. Haha

I kept testing on July 8, 9 & 10th to make sure the line was getting darker! And to somehow convince myself that this was really happening because I couldn’t believe it! 

It still blows my mind that a little human is growing inside of me. And that this little human is made up of both Zack and I. And this little human is going to be our baby!! Ahh I can't wait to meet you little baby!!!

Until next time!

Love Always,
