7 weeks :)

Three weeks ago, my life changed as the second line on the pregnancy test popped up. I called Tim in, and asked if he saw what I saw. He did. I think we both were shocked that it was there. We were happy, but it takes a bit to sink in.

I can't explain what I felt then and the following days. But those of you who are mothers will completely understand. Probably since I was 18, maybe younger, I've known I wanted to be a mother. It's just something I knew. I love children, especially babies. And when Tim & I began dating and talking seriously, we talked about how we'd one day have children. Now 2 1/2 years of marriage later, here we are with a baby on the way.

After the at home pregnancy test confirmed, I went to the dr. to confirm. Then a week later, I visited the new OB I would be seeing. They took some blood, gave me some paperwork and talked about the pregnancy a little. I knew it was too early for an ultrasound, but when the Dr. said it would be another 4 weeks, I was anxious. She changed my anti-anxiety medication to something that is safe during pregnancy. This is something I am currently dealing with managing. I want what is best for our child, but I have to take care of myself to take care of the baby. I am only bringing this up because prayers are definitely appreciated during this time.

Our first ultrasound is now 2 1/2 weeks away. I already have a small bump and my pants are tight, which honestly I enjoy :) I'm exhausted and don't always feel well, but I'm very happy. I'm ready to enjoy every step of this journey and share it along the way. I'll be posting pictures soon.
