Preggo?

First off, I want to apologize for not blogging in ages! 

Seriously, I am so bad. I am not going to PROMISE you that I will get any better, 

but I am going to TRY! 

Some of you may have already heard the news, and yes.... it's TRUE!!

I am PREGNANT!!! :)

That's old news to some, but it may be the first time other have even heard it! 

Here's the story...

So, I had this crazy dream one night about this little baby boy

that looked almost identical to the Shrek babies.. 

He had huge brown eyes, and weird, little (I mean TINY) 

alien-like ears, that stuck out maybe 3 inches from his head.

This little baby was so weird looking, but I absolutely loved him! 

In my dream, this little alien baby was MINE! 

The dream was so weird, but I do remember one thing that stood out...

I was BREASTFEEDING him!! 

Weird!? Yeah, I know. You can't control your dreams, eh?

Anyways, I woke up from this dream being really creeped out.

It felt so real. I honestly felt like I had a baby of my very own. 

Right as I woke up, I had the strangest feeling to take a preggo test.

My sisters had all told me that you'll have really vivid dreams when you're pregnant.

So, that's why the test was the first thing to come to mind when I woke up.

I had also heard that your morning pee will be the most accurate.

So, I opened up that test and did my job.

I think that clear-blue flashed for about two hours

(okay maybe 2 minutes)

before my results FINALLY showed up.

This was like the 5th test that I had taken since we'd been trying, 

so I thought for SURE it would say "NOT PREGNANT."

Boy, was I wrong!!

"PREGNANT"

was written all over that stick!!

I went light-headed and it seemed as if the room as spinning. 

I pulled up my pants as soon as I realized this was real.

Meanwhile, Nick is sleeping so soundly in our big, warm bed. 

Not having a CLUE what was about to hit him..

Well, I run into the bedroom,

Flash on the lights without warning his sleepy little eyes,

JUMP on the bed,

and put the test so close to his face that he is not able to even see what it is.

"Nick LOOK!!!!!!!"

He sits up, and gets the biggest grin on his face!! 

It was by far the cutest smile I've ever seen on his face.

He was so excited! 

We both were!

He really didn't know what was coming.

That was when I was only 3 1/2 weeks pregnant. 

Now I am 14 1/2 weeks along and feeling GREAT!!

I haven't even thrown up once, which wasn't what I was expecting at all.

And in the first trimester, I lost almost 8 pounds! 

Shows I needed to thin out in a few areas before I could start to gain.

There are very few symptoms that I have experienced (so far).

One: Nausea and loss of appetite. Each morning, I would wake up feeling kinda sick. 

Knowing I had to eat something, but NOTHING sounding even remotely appealing.

That's why I lost that weight is because I literally didn't eat anything.

I had maybe one meal a day, and that was the meal 

when I'd take my prenatal vitamin, but that was it.

Maybe a few snacks here and there, but my food intake dropped drastically.

Now that I have my apatite back, I am making up for all those days I missed out.

Two: Drowsiness. 3 o'clock in the afternoon would come around 

and I would feel like it was 2 am. 

I ended up taking a nap around 5 each day,

then going to sleep later that night at like 9.

Still, all this sleep wasn't cutting it for me.

Whenever Nick and I would watch a movie, or even a TV show,

I was out like a light-switch.

That symptom still hasn't left completely, 

but it has eased up quite a bit. 

Every now and then, I am ready to collapse because I am so tired,

but those days are far and few between.

Three: Moodiness. All growing up, I thought for sure that my 

moods would consist of being a total wreck when I was pregnant.

It's been pretty opposite of that.

I feel like I am a lot less emotional since I've been pregnant. 

Before, I'd cry maybe four or five times a week about the most

pointless random things.

But now, I rarely cry. By rare, I mean Once every few weeks! 

That's really weird for me. I mean really weird!!

But I am definitely not complaining... That's for sure.

Hmmm.. Those are probably the top three symptoms I have had 

so far....knock on wood...I don't want to jinx myself.

If this is how my pregnancies are going to be ALWAYS, 

then I don't mind being pregnant one bit at all!! 

I am sure I will be blogging a lot more about about this little one...

So stay tuned for more!
