so I began a post a while ago, and lost it... so here goes.
Phil and I found out we were pregnant on March 6, 2009 at 10:00pm. I'd come home from class and was musing about my constant mild nausea and Lee told me I should just go ahead and take the test she gave me, so I did.
It was positive.
Phil and I were so thrilled! We wanted to call his family right away, but figured that 1am wasn't the most pleasant time for that kind of discussion. I called my mom though, and figured I'd tell more people when I'd been to the doctor for confirmation.
That night we prayed for the baby and wrote h/h our first letter.
My doctor's visit obviously confirmed our baby's existence, and we've been jumping for joy ever since! Except of course that moving at all was almost impossible for me after the middle of March. I've never been motion sick, but I threw up the other night after going to the wave pool. I returned to the doctor and she prescribed Declectin for my nausea, which has become a rather unwelcome 24-hour companion. The declectin helps, I can walk and be in a car without extreme discomfort, but my companion hasn't left yet. I'm crossing my fingers for the next few weeks, it's supposed to get better in second trimester.
I'm trying to eat at least twice a day, but it's not easy. I'm keeping up with vitamins though, and drinking milk. Phil helps as much as he can, trying to make me appetising food and getting me things when I crave them.
I've gotta to drive Phil to his bus stop. :) hanging in there.
