Preggo!

Found out about a week and half before Thanksgiving that I was pregnant! Seriously, a huge shock for both the hubby and I.  We had removed the "goalie" and were not trying, but not preventing for a few months, then I started tracking my basal body temperature to determine when I was ovulating. Things got a little more serious and we had to turn into rabbits to make this thing happen.

Well, I was of the sentiment that it would take me at least six months to get pregnant at my age, which is not old, just older at 32 years than when I had my son at 19 years old. Anyhow, it only took one month to get pregnant! To summarize how we felt for the first two weeks: in shock and shaking with surprise.

Our preliminary due date is July 21, 2010. We told our families on Thanksgiving day at the dinner table. We went around the table with the intent to tell them about the baby and had everyone say what they are thankful for. My husband started us off and said he was thankful for his old family, his new family and his new family member coming next summer. It was wonderful. His mother started crying, his Dad was happy, but my son was completely shocked! He's better now, but having a hard time dealing with that he'll have to share his Mom & Dad.

The neat thing about this is I was twelve years old when my little sister was born so I understand those feelings he is experiencing. We're talking about it a lot and I'm trying to keep my emotions in check about it all, which is hard... let me tell you!

The pregnancy has gone well so far, I've had some bouts with morning sickness and mainly I'm dealing with fatigue. Extreme fatigure. I could sleep during the day at my desk at work, I can go home at 5 p.m. take a nap, get up cook dinner and go back to sleep again and never feel rested!

Oh well, this little bun in the oven will be well worth it!
