We are 8 weeks and 6 days pregnant! We go to our first "baby doctor" visit tomorrow at 10am!! I am sooo excited and yet a bundle of nerves! We have been praying for a healthy baby, you know, the whole 10 fingers, 10 toes, no chromosomal or congenital abnormalities.... With both of us in the medical field we know all that could go wrong or potentially go wrong, but the Lord knows what He is doing and we must trust in Him! Oh how I pray we hear a heart beat tomorrow and learn this pregnancy is viable.
As most of you know Eric and I tried for 2 years to get pregnant with no luck. I had almost convienced myself that I didn't want children, that our life was fine just the way it is, so we stopped trying, quite some time ago.
Now ime for some TMI!!! When my period was a week late I didn't think much of it...on that Sunday I was super tired and slept all day long, I thought it was just the weekend catching up to me and my busy life. While I was in the shower on the following Monday I was thinking about how tired I was and how that wasn't like me, I noticed my boobies were super tender but just talked it up to my period about to start, then it hit me like a ton of bricks, "oh my....I bet I am pregnant" I get to work and take a pregnancy test as soon as I got there! It was positive, I mean, the test line turned before the control line did! I threw that one away in disbelief. About 30 mintues later I took another one and it was positive too! That's when reality hit and I was a hot mess! I had just decided that we were better off without children and I didn't want a child! I give myself a while to calm down and I put the tests in a biohazard bag (of all things) and run up to Eric's office to show him. He was elated!! God knows what He is doing, I just pray He gives me the strength and guidance to raise a child!
We had decided to keep our mouths shut about this until we went to our doctors appointment and heard a heart beat but we couldn't stay quite! Only a handful of people know as of now! Our parents are in the dark but we plan to tell them tomorrow. I hope they are happy for us.
So, tomorrow is our definative day.....pray for a heart beat and a viable pregnancy!!!
