The Announcement

I am pretty sure everyone who reads my blog already knows, but I guess I will put it on here anyway. Maybe with a bit more feelings than what I put on facebook. For anyone who doesn't know (sorry I am not very creative on the announcement), I am pregnant. I am currently 12 weeks along and due March 30th. I'm at the awkward stage where I am definitely bigger, but not looking pregnant. I do feel like I am starting to get over the morning sickness, but I have had a couple of bad days in a row now, so maybe not. I just know I am having more good days than bad at this point. Now if I just didn't have this cold, I would feel much better than I have been.

The story behind the pregnancy...well I am guessing everyone knows how it happened, but really Scott and I weren't "trying" per se. Over course according to Alan Arkin on Marley and Me, we pulled the goalie and we were having sex so we were in fact trying, but I guess everyone has their own definition. Was that TMI? Who knows, I do tend to share too much. I actually got off birth control the end of May, right before we went on our trip to New Mexico, and found out I am pregnant the end of July. CRAZY FAST. I know for all of the people who have been "trying" for a while or "tried" for quite a while before getting pregnant, you are jealous, and I'm sorry. We weren't tracking ovulation or anything. Just whatever. We are slightly overwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, I am excited. It was really cool to hear the baby's heart beat and realize there is a reason behind the puking (even though I haven't been as bad as some, didn't enjoy the sick part). I just have days where I wonder what in the world we have gotten ourselves into. I know as I grow and as the baby grows, we are going to get more and more excited about it. But right now I am content to just let things come as they may. No need to rush anything. I wanted to rush through the first part, and now that I am mostly done with that, I am ready to sit back and relax for the rest. It is a good thing it takes a while to grow a baby. While we may not be totally mentally prepared for this journey, we are going on it, and we will be very excited and happy with the outcome. And then I will have a little one who loves my hubby more than me as every other child in the world does. :)
