Bump It Up

I seem to have "popped".
I didn't think I looked that pregnant,
but a few days ago, I was looking in the mirror,
and I seemed... rounder.

I've been fighting the whole
body image portion of pregnancy.
But I'm trying to remember that
I'm doing everything right,
and this is supposed to happen.

So time to embrace the bump!

Eek! No turning back now.

Game Changer

Yikes. I haven't blogged since December!
To say I've been distracted would be an understatement.

On December 17, 2012 my life, and my husband's life
CHANGED FOREVER!
Dramatic!

What happened?
Well, I peed on a stick.

Now, in normal circumstances,
that wouldn't be seen as life changing,
but more weird, and creepy.

However, when the "stick" is a "pregnancy test",
everything changes.

To tell you the truth, I took the test as a 
precaution, not to confirm anything.
It was getting to be the start of a very hectic
Christmas season, and the amount of alcohol I would have
the option to partake in was quite high.
So, I thought...
I might as well take this test, to prove that I am NOT pregnant,
and then I can go on my merry way and drink the season away!

So, I bought the test, bought some groceries,
came home, did what you do with pregnancy tests,
and more or less forgot about it.
 Imagine my surprise, when 10 minutes later,
I saunter in to the bathroom to confirm my
non pregnant status to be greeted by this:


I didn't really believe the test.
I thought it was wrong, or that it was faulty,
or that I was dumb and reading the instructions wrong.

So I got another one.

 
Let me tell you, it's hard to talk yourself out of 
2 positive pregnancy tests.

So, husband's were called,
crying insued,
and shock pretty much set in,
and has since remained.

I am so freaking excited to be having a baby.
But I am also SHOCKED that we are actually having one.

A few days ago, 
I heard our baby's heartbeat.
Can I tell you how absolutely incredible that is?
I have been pregnant for 12 weeks,
and that is the first time through everything,
that it became absolutely, 100% REAL to me.

My baby has a heartbeat!
EEEIIII!
