That's right, I am 5 weeks pregnant! Dan and I are so excited and as you can guess, nervous. I took a home pregnancy test on Friday February 19th. I was so nervous that I didn't look at it as I went through my morning routine. When I did chance a glance, there were two pink lines! I was so excited, that I rushed out of the bathroom and practically jumped on Dan who was still sleeping. "Dan, Dan wake up, wake up. I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant!" I was shaking uncontrollably in my excitement! Now came the hard part...waiting to tell anyone until we had told my parents who were out of town that day. I also was on my way out the door to workout with my sister-in-law and I had to try to keep my excitement in!
I made it though. We went to my parents house on Saturday afternoon bearing gifts. When they opened their gifts together, they each received a bib that said "I love Grandma" or "I Love Grandpa". They were both so excited. And of course my mother made me call family so she could start telling the world. I was given the privilege of telling my grandparents that they would be becoming great grandparents later this year. See, I am the first on both sides of my family to have a baby! Sunday morning we called Dan's family to tell them. His mother of course screamed in excitement for like a full minute, which was fun. His Dad and step-mom were much more practical but still way excited for us.
Currently, I am just exhausted all the time. No morning sickness yet.
I will do my best to keep you updated on my progress regularly and hopefully post some fun photos when "Speck" starts getting bigger and showing himself off! Thanks for your love, congratulations and prayers. They are so appreciated!
