WE'RE PREGNANT!!!

I can hardly believe I am typing this post! This was our second month trying and I had a gut feeling that I was pregnant but I didn't want to get my hopes up! I decided to test tonight on a whim and I got my POSITIVE result!!! I'm still in shock!

I had a rough day, I wasn't feeling well and I had my first newborn photoshoot which was so much fun but also more challenging than I anticipated. I didn't get as many "perfect" shots as I wanted and I came home with a whole lot of self pity. Luke got home from his flight shortly after and he fixed me supper and said that maybe I would feel better after I ate (my iron has been low lately, so if I don't eat I get really tired). After watching "Gnomeo and Juliet" on Netflix I decided that I would go ahead and test since I hadn't this morning and I had all those internet cheapie tests left. I'm 12 dpo (days post ovulation) today and it's still early... but apparently not too early! I had laid the test on the counter and after I washed my hands I was staring at it waiting for it to get completely clear, hoping that I would see something. When I say staring, I really mean boring a hole into it with my retina's, at first I thought I was imagining it (the line was very faint), then it started to get white around the line... I took it into the "princess room (office)" where Luke was working on homework (aka facebook-ing) and all I could say was "I swear there's a line. There is a line. I swear. I swear." and he looked at it and smiled from ear to ear and agreed he saw a line too. I was crying. I couldn't help it, there is a baby growing in my belly! We hugged and kissed and just stared at the test in disbelief!

After awhile Luke had to finish his homework (for real this time) and I went to call my best friend since I was 13, Sarah. She was just as excited as us! We gushed and talked about the future and made plans to meet up very soon. She's the only one we're telling until this weekend. We're going to Disney World with the marching band I work with (that my sister is in) and we're going to tell her then. I hope I can wait that long! We're going to tell the rest of our family over Thanksgiving. I can't wait to see what their reactions will be!

As far as symptoms go I really don't have too many. I've had some minor cramping, similar to menstrual cramps but not as intense. I've also been getting short of breath over the stupidest stuff like drying my hair or switching the laundry over. Weird. I've also been very tired lately, but I thought it was just because I wasn't eating right and my iron was low. Other than those few symptoms I've been feeling fine though. I'll definitely keep you updated on other symptoms as they appear!

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!!
