Keith and I were pretty excited to find out we were pregnant. I didn't think I was at all. My basal temp chart was all over the place and I had no symptoms. Keith really wanted me to take a pregnancy test and I told him I would if he would go get them. It was still a few days before my period was supposed to show up and I didn't want to waste the money on them if I wasn't pregnant. However I thought it would be pretty funny for Keith to go buy a pregnancy test...just because it made him uncomfortable. Well it was positive...I took a few more through out the week to make sure.
About a week later we took a cruise to Cozumel w/ some couples from our bible study. It will probably be our last vacation for quiet a while. On the Cruise I noticed that the thought of food made me nauseous. But if you have ever been on a cruise its all you can eat. I wasn't sure if it was the cruise or me being preggo causing that. A few nights into the cruise I started spotting pretty heavily. By this time I was about 6 weeks. We scheduled a sonogram as soon as we returned.
Me and Keith were both pretty nervous...it took us along time to get pregnant and we didn't want anything to be wrong. As the lady was looking into the black and white mess she said "oh! Do you want to know how many?" My thought was "no!, I want one". Keith was crossing his fingers it wouldn't be 8. When she said 3...the blood drained out of my face and all I could think was how were we going to do this. Keith laughed, he was excited!
We have told a few people and our family and everyone is very excited! I still can't believe it. I've never really been around babies much and I don't consider myself to be a baby person but I guess I am about to learn.
Right now we are praying for:
healthy babies,
me to get over this nauseousness before school begins,
and for Keith to find a full time job w/ benefits.
