Hey guys I know I've been very vague about my absence last week and I hope I don't have too many of you worried -- if at all! On the morning of February 20th, 2012, I found out I was pregnant. My husband and I were both VERY surprised. We were not trying for a baby -- in fact we had given up last year and decided that in order to get pregnant we would need medical help. We're almost 8 weeks along -- which yes, is a little early to announce, but at the same time I feel bad about not being around on the blog I've worked so hard to upkeep!
My husband and I were indeed to surprised to discover that I was indeed pregnant because I had a lot of the signs and didn't even know it! I just thought my menstrual cycle was late but the symptoms lasted longer than normal! I finally took a test and sure enough it was positive! Last week the morning sickness was really starting to hit me. I was and still am very nauseous a lot of the time. I have to keep continually snacking to keep the nausea at bay! Every morning before work, I wake up and give the baby a pep talk about how momma just wants an easy day. Maybe its ears are still developing because it hasn't given me one yet! Anyways, I have a very common hormonal disorder and when I was seen at Mayo Clinic, two years ago, my doctor told me the chances of us conceiving on our own were slim to none and I would have to visit a specialist to get treated and then maybe still kids might not be in the future. I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This pregnancy was supposed to be an impossibility for me -- esp. since it happened naturally! We are very excited and terrified all at the same time! Considering my "pre-existing condition" with PCOS we are treating this like a high-risk pregnancy.
My baby will be the 21st grandbaby for my parents!
I realize some may freak out by that number but you have to consider that I have 10 brothers and sisters myself! Large families generally produce a higher amount of grandchildren. Not all of the grandchildren are biologically related; several of my siblings have decided to adopt and it has been wonderful for them!
Well I just had to get this off my chest. I'm trying to stay hydrated and full of food otherwise we both get terribly cranky, weak and whiny. LOL My first doctor's appointment is next week and we're full of questions -- and in need of a doctor's note for work! I'm not sure how I've gotten by this last week sometimes the pain from the cramping is just unbearable. Thank God today is my day off and I can just hang out. I'm going to try to be around more but I make no promises.
Thank You All for being such caring and supportive followers, fans and friends!
