On April 8th, Heather took an at home pregnancy test and a little blue line appeared in the second box. Jeremy doubted the second line because it was so much lighter than the control line. Heather assured him it was a positive test and showed him the instructions. Jeremy was still not sure. Heather made an appointment for later that day for a doctor to confirm.
We thought the doctor was going to do a blood test to confirm the pregnancy since we knew we could not be more than two weeks pregnant. At the doctor's office, they had Heather pee into a cup. Heather was waiting for the nurse to come in to draw blood, but when the door opened it was the doctor. Her first words were "Congratulations!" No blood test was necessary. We were certainly pregnant! The doctor said we were four weeks along. We learned that pregnancy is tracked since missed period not conception, or they add two weeks to the conception date... so begins our start of pregnancy knowledge. Our expected due date is December 18th. Christmas at our house!
Where we trying? Well, we were not preventing!
How do we feel? We are very excited yet nervous. I had found out just that weekend that my friend, Ansley, from Texas is pregnant. We are about a week or two apart. God is awesome; I wanted a friend to be pregnant along with me. We are both glad we are going through this together. We are hoping we can spare our husbands a bit by having each other to talk to about our pregnancies.
Did we have an idea we were pregnant? Looking back there were a few signs. I had been feeling different like dizziness, weakness, work outs were harder for me. Sleepiness was a hard symptom for me because before I got pregnant I was tired all the time! Also Jeremy put his hand on my belly about two weeks prior and thanked the Lord for our child. I had a feeling then that we would be expecting soon. Jeremy really didn't know until I took the pregnancy test and then had it confirmed by the doctor.
Boy or Girl? A healthy baby.
