About 4 months ago I was having these strange stomach pains that kind of felt like cramps mixed with nausea. I thought I might have been pregnant because I was about 4 days late and we had decided to stop preventing the possibility of getting pregnant about 2 months prior. Caleb and I went to the drug store to pick up a pregnancy test. This was kind of a scary and confusing experience. There are so many different choices and some very expensive tests! How do you know which one to get? The expensive one that will be better quality or does a cheap in do the job just as well? What about quantity? How many tests do you take? Should you take 2 or 10 just to be sure, or is one enough? This was a little stressful. But we finally picked the cheapest box and thought if it's positive the cheap one will do just as good as the fancy expensive ones. Although a little stressful, it was a lot of fun embarrassing Caleb and the drugstore, he loved it. :)
So we got home and I ran to the bathroom to take care of business. I felt like I already knew the answer so I was so scared to look and have it all be real to me. So I made Caleb look first and sure enough PREGO!! I was so happy and jumped up and down. Caleb was excited too but he's to practical to do any jumping, plus he's way better than I am and containing his excitement than I am. Needless so say I couldn't sleep that night. I couldn't keep my kind off of what was to come in the near future and all the changes our lives were about to go through, not to mention what my body was going to go through and what was going on in my body and the little peanut inside me.
Since then we have had three Dr appointments. We go once a month. Our Dr is Glenn Leavitt. He plays football with Caleb for the Mustangs and they have known each other for a while. We get the "Mustang teammate discount" which is so so nice of him! The first appointment we went to they did and ultrasound and we got to see the tiny thing on a big tv screen. That's when it really became real for me. I started to cry without expecting to. Just seeing that there really was a baby inside me and to hear the hear beat was just too much joy to contain and I couldn't hold it in. Since then every appointment I've been to I have been able to hear the heartbeat, and every time I get emotional and want to cry. It's mostly because it's good to hear that that little heart is pumping away. And the next appointment Caleb will be coming with me so that we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl! So excited and so scared for this brand new adventure!
