(lots of gross details so be warned)
WHEN WE FOUND OUT THE NEWS
So i always imagined that when i found out i was pregnant i would always tell Kris in a super cute way. Welllll.... lets just say that all goes out the window when you see that pregnant sign come back on the pee stick an your not expecting it. So earlier in the week i had casually mentioned to kris that i was about a week late, and he made a jokingly comment back saying "maybe your pregnant!!" My first thought and comment back was no way!!! You see, i was loosing weight, exercising and eating right and really working on getting back to being healthy and so i told him that my cycle is just out of whack from loosing weight and exercising. Well.... couple days pass and still nothing!! I had been feeling reeeeallly crampy so i knew i was gonna be starting any day! buuttt time moved on and kris's comment crept back into my head, so i decided that i had a pregnancy test already at home so i will just take it to confirm im not pregnant. So i come home from work... go to the bathroom... and wait. I start to see the one line and start to make my way towards the trash thinking "i told ya so". Thennnn i see something i have never seen before... the second line forms!! Panic mode sets in and i start yelling for Kris from the bathroom. I hear him come to the door and i hear him say "what", but the only thing i could get out is "Kris". haha Finally the 4th time he says "what" i stick out the pregnancy test grinning. His first reaction was NO WAY!!! We both couldn't stop smiling at each other and we both immediately start talking about when and how and when we can tell the family and then we came to conclusion that this isn't true!! haha Kris was on his way to leave to his parents house and said that when he gets back i can take another pregnancy test to confirm it. I just couldn't believe it. Kris didn't end up leaving the house until 45 minutes later because he was trying to get clothes and socks on and kept forgetting what he was doing because of this news... finally i went over to him to kiss and hug him and he was sweating!! haha so cute!! That was the longest 3 hours for me having to wait for him to come back!! Finally he made it home, and we ended up taking a total of 3 pregnancy test... ALL positive! At this point i was about 5 weeks 4 days along.
the official first positive pregnancy test
all three!
TELLING THE PARENTS
Kris and i were still in a little shock the next day but we just couldn't wait to tell our parents!! So the next day(april 16th,2013) we went over to Kris's parents first to break the news. I bought a set of bibs that said things like "one spoiled grandchild" or "Grandmas favorite" along with a onsie that mentioned grandparents on it, wrapped it up like a normal present and told them we forgot we got them this present a while ago!! We waited for majority of kriss family was there and let Wendy open the gift! She immediately started crying yelling "im gonna be a grandma!!!!"! Then of course i start crying! haha The whole family was so excited!! Wendy and Kent already started talking about what this little one will call them. LOVE THEM. Next we headed to my parents house! Same thing, i gave them a wrapped present which my mom opened and she barely saw the onsie and threw the box aside and started jumping up and down so excited!! haha Both of my parents were just so happy! They hung the onsie on our kitchen light for all who comes to the house to see!! (it was there for about 3 weeks by the way haha)
here are the gifts and what was inside
DR APPOINTMENT
The next day i scheduled my doctors appointment so i can start this whole process started and get me pre-natals. After that i sent out a mass text to my brothers and sisters announcing the news!!
I have never received that many calls back to back at one time. lol So much love and excitement and i think i was one the phone for 3 hours returning missed calls and chit chatting about what its going to be like.
FIRST TRIMESTER
My mom can count on one hand how many times she was sick with all 6 kids!! So i was hoping i was gonna be like her!! About week 6-7 i was hit with sore boobies and fatigue. I would come home from work and just want to go straight to bed! About 7 1/2 weeks "THE SICKNESS" starts. Super naseaseated! I would have to wake up an extra 30 minutes just to get to work on time because i would spend that 30 minutes dry-heaving and throwing up. Tough stuff let me tell you! FOOD AVERSIONS- wow this one is still a battle. the last thing i wanted/want to do is eat. I would try and eat a bite of toast and it would send me to the bathroom! Fruit and veggies were the ONE thing i could stomach and keep down. SMELLS-no one ever told me you turn into a dog when you get pregnant. The smallest smell of deep fried food makes me sick to my stomach, i never knew i could smell as many things as i can now! haha I had just the general feeling of being "sick" all day long. The first trimester was overall pretty hard. Hormones come out of no where, one second im crying the next laughing. I remember crying a few times over Hell's Kitchen and Deadliest Catch (2 shows you should never find yourself crying while watching). My poor husband would just try to help since this is our first time going through this he is just as surprised as i am when i snap and get cranky with him and then afterwards i feel like crap because i didn't mean to snap at him. haha i always had the feeling of not being able to give the baby what it needed everyday since i hated food and couldn't keep anything down. But everyone would re-assure me that the baby will take what it needs from me. i would have my good days and bad days. every day i would cross my fingers that the sickness would ease up so i can just enjoy the time of being pregnant. At about 8 1/2 weeks my doctor wanted to schedule me for our first ultrasound and we got to hear the heartbeat and see the little peanut of love!! i cried! Then i cried some more when Kris said to me "You have 2 heartbeats right now"!
here is one of the ultrasound pics
SECOND TRIMESTER
So its pretty hilarious how i thought magically i would wake up as soon as i hit 12 weeks and feel allll better! HA! i laugh at myself! still felt like crap...still wasn't eating!!! BUT, week 13 1/5 came and i actually craved something other than fruit AND I actually kept it down! So i slowly but surely have been adding new foods to my diet that i haven't been able to keep down the past 3 months! its amazing what food does!!
As of today Iam 14 weeks and 5 days! We are so excited for this little bundle of love to get here already, Kris would love to have a boy but he has now come around to how i think now of i will be so happy boy or girl as long as he/she is healthy. Its amazing already how much the little things we talked about in high school seems when you are actually pregnant. all that goes out the window and all you want is for the babe to be healthy. I cant wait to be a mom. Kris cant wait to be a dad. Cant wait to be a little family.
