Heads up, this might be a long post!
Well, it's been two months since I have posted! But I have good reason! Those first few weeks of being pregnant were not easy and I'm so glad I've started to feel a little better.
Back towards the end of October I started feeling a tiny bit nauseous in the mornings. But I thought I was just getting up too late or maybe it was my breakfast. I figured I just needed to readjust my schedule. By Saturday the 27th though I knew I was either getting sick or I was pregnant. So, we picked up a test from Wal-Mart and I took it Sunday morning. I'm not going to lie, when the test showed positive I didn't believe it! I always thought that I would see the positive and be so excited and call Kyle and we would jump and scream like little girls! But I guess I just was afraid it was a 'false positive' or something so I didn't want to get too excited.
I'm still having a hard time believing it's real. It's such a huge thing to happen and I haven't actually been to the doctor yet. I'm afraid I'm going to wake up and have it all be a dream!
Anyway, after taking the test I just got worse each day. I was so nauseated and could only eat 5 or 6 different things! I Googled every thing I could about nausea and read up on it as much as I could. Ginger, peppermint, acupressure points, 5 small meals instead of 3 bigger ones, crackers, drink water, go for walks, sit up to let the food settle... etc. There are so many things out there! I've found that staying hydrated and rubbing the acupressure point between my thumb and pointer finger are the two things that work for me - but it took me a while to figure that out...
Anyway, my cousin text me on Monday to see how I was doing (not knowing I was sick/pregnant) just to check up. All I text back was "I'm good, nothing exciting!" And she's text back "Are you ok, you seem sad." Hmm, I decided I wouldn't be able to keep this pregnancy quiet for long!
I skyped with my family on Halloween but my sisters friend ended up being there and I only wanted to tell my immediate family. So I called my mom on Thursday and asked if she was with dad. She told me she wasn't home but would be in about an hour. I asked her to call me with dad as soon as she got home. That phone call ended with her thinking something was terribly wrong, maybe with Kyle or our job.
Her and my dad finally called me back and I could tell they were super nervous so I just said:
"I've been trying to think of a good way to say this but I guess pregnancy brain starts early!"
They were quiet for a few seconds before they let out their breathe and realized they should be excited! Haha! It took them a couple of minutes for the real excitement to settle in but they eventually were excited... until they realized they are going to be grandparents... then they asked if I could take it back because they didn't want to be old! I then called Angela, who was excited.
On Friday we Skyped with Jerm and Aub. We told them that we weren't making enough money and that we had to move back home. We were going to move back into my old bedroom for a while. I think they wanted to believe us but they didn't want to get excited so they asked my mom and dad if it was true and they went along with the joke. We spent about 5 minutes convincing them that it was true, then I just blurted out "I'm pregnant" Aubree was very excited but I think Jerm was actually more excited to have me move back home than he was that I am pregnant! Ooops!
Then I called Colin and who was out of town visiting some friends. I told him I was pregnant and we talked for about 10 minutes. Then he said "Well, I told my friends I was coming out o blow my nose so I should probably go back in" Hahaha! This made me laugh. About 20 minutes after I called him he text me and said "Well, this has been fun but I'm ready for my nephew to be here. Also, I decided it's a boy" Oh siblings...
We decided to wait to tell Kyle's family until we drove to Missouri for Christmas. We thought it'd be a fun present for them to hear it in person. But more on that later!
