10 weeks and 5 days

I am relieved to say that I haven't thrown up once. I've been really nauseous most of the time, not to mention exhausted. I still feel relatively well though. I'm very fortunate.

I think the hardest part is that I don't feel like myself lately. I'm sure it's just a pregnancy thing, and it's completely worth it. It's just hard....I feel kind of out of place. This might not make sense, but that's how it is.

Happy Birthday to me!!

I found out I was pregnant june 11, 2008. What a birthday present! I began tossing and turning around 2:30 am. (The doctor told me to take the test first thing in the morning. Apparently the first urine sample of the day will give the most accurate reading). 5:30 rolled around, and I bounced out of bed. Aron heard me and tiredly mustered up the words, "Test time?" I peed on the stick and said, "I'm not.....uh...wait....I think I am. Wait! Am I reading this right? I don't understand!" By then Aron made it to the bathroom, looked at the test and said, "Hunny, that's a very distinct blue plus. You're pregnant." We were shocked! He went downstairs and brought up the flowers he'd brought me the day before to give me for my birthday. (That sneaky, wonderful man!) We laid in bed for a couple of hours and then prayed together with Aron's hand on my tummy. It was surreal. Of course a few minutes later i took the second test (I just had to be SURE). There was another distinct blue plus.
