so...where do i begin? i guess i'll start with we're pregnant. we're 11wks 5ds pregnant to be exact. that makes baby z due on our second wedding anniversay (april 5th 2010).
i'm not gonna lie, when i plugged the dates into the "due date calculator" on thebump, i was VERY upset to see that the baby was due on OUR anniversary. seriously, what are the odds? so i did what any wife would do, i immediately opened a new tab and found a different due date calculator and plugged in the dates. 4.5.10 AGAIN! now i realize how selfish this sounds, and baby z no offense, but our anniversary is supposed to be the time of year that is reserved for us. we're supposed to celebrate our wonderful marriage and how much we love each other during these days. these aren't the days to be planning our first child's birthday parties for the duration of life. but apparently my planning skills are lacking, but i'm getting ahead of myself.
....how i ended up here....
i toyed with the idea of popping my blogging cherry with the topic of my first pregnancy for about six weeks (yes, that would be from the time we found out we were pregnant), but i finally made the decision to do so tonight. here's how it (baby z) started...
on june 27th, 2009 we decided that i would take my last birth control pill. we'd been home for a few weeks after visiting greece and frankly, i'd run out of time. i'd promised kenny that i would consider babies if he took me on another international trip, and he'd obviously held up his end of the bargain. plus, i'd heard so many stories of how difficult it was to "get pregnant" and i (like most females i know) had this horrible feeling that it just wouldn't happen to me--that i was broken in that way. i was planning on the whole process taking months or maybe even YEARS to work for us (maybe we'd get to see another country before it all went down). that was the extent of the "planning" i did. wait, i take it back, i did peruse the ttc boards on the thebump. maybe that's where i "messed up". :)
tuesday, august 4th, 2009, after feeling a little weird on and off for a few weeks and no return of my regular monthly womanly thing, we decided on a whim that it might be fun to take a home pregnancy test to spice up our tuesday. we ran out to cvs and looked for the clearest possible test we could find (that had more than one stick, in the event that i did something wrong or it appeared to be inconclusive). we decided on a digital one that would display either "YES+" or "NO-". kenny had some work to do, so we decided to wait until we took a shower before bed to take the test. i chose this time of day on purpose. i knew from my psuedopromiscous teenage years that you should take the test in the am, with fresh pee. i didn't think i was pregnant, so i figured i'd just take it when the LEAST amount of hormones should be flowing. it was about 10:30pm...
