Well it is time to make the big annoucement!!! YES, Eddie and I are e xpecting our first child. The sono picture is from week 12 and I am officially today at 14 weeks and counting. We wanted to make it through the first trimeseter before we made any annoucements since the first trimester is the most unpredictable. We both understand that something can still happen but we are both so excited.
At this point we do not know if it is a boy or a girl but it really does not matter to us as long as it is healthy. I can't wait till we find out though, it will really make all this seem real! This baby is truely a miricle. We had been trying for several months and finally submitted ourselves to infertility testing. From wat we both found out about our conditions we had about a 1% chance of ever concieving. We had pretty much given up on having a baby our selves and were investigating adoptions and In Vitro techniques, then in August I realized I was late. To make a long story short we saw 2 pink lines!! God had blessed us with a baby. I can honestly say I believe in the power of prayer.
We have a long 6 more months ahead of us. With me being a diabetic, I am under the care of sever doctors and even a high risk pregnancy doctor. Eddie has a congenital heart problem that caused him to have a pace maker when he was 21 years old. So they dr's are watching the baby's heart closely. We will have to have a neo natal echo doppler done in the next month or sooo but according to all the tests and doctors so far the baby and mom are doing great!
As for me returning to work now that I have graduated, well it seems because of the current baby situation, we are putting it on hold. Eddie wants me to take the next 6 months and enjoy just being pregnant and staying healthy. Me, well I'm a bit bored. The first 3 months I spent pretty much sick with Morning sickness...oh yeah, why do they call it morning sickness when it lasts 24 hours a day???? Of course now that I am in the second trimester I am feeling sooooo much better!! I may try to get a part time job doing something just to maintain my sanity...I'm not used to being able to do nothing...!!
I am starting to show a bit and my jeans are not fitting very well anymore. I did buy some maternity clothes from a second hand store and my sister in law Tammy and a friend of mine Jamie have given me a bunch of clothes also. I should be ok, I am just havng trouble adjusting to wearing them. I dont like the idea of gaining weight, but realize it is an necessary evil if I want to have this baby! Jamie told me she could not wait to wear maternity clothes so that people did not think she was getting fat, she was pregnant. I will have to start subscribing to that theory...lol !!
So , that is the big exciting thing that is happening in our life... things are changing but of course for a very good reason. Ok, back to the Steelers game... hopefully they will beat the Atlanta Braves... GO STEELERS!!
