Before I jump into how things have been thus far..
I wanted to fill you in on Levi's reaction to finding out we were pregnant!
(If you haven't even read my reaction to find out yet, click here to read my previous post)
He got home from work late that night, walked in and just skipped all the excitement I had laid out on the table announcing to him! I had to remind him I had a surprise for him....
He walked over to the table.... skimmed right over the adorable onsie I made for him and picked up the preganncy test's. He cover his mouth and just kept repeating "omg, omg, omg, omg" with the biggest grin. He then began to ask if both said positive! I shook my head yes and squealed. It took him a moment to process but it was the cutest most guienue response I could have ever asked for.

I have actually looked forward to being pregnant and growing that baby bump for years now.
The moment my hubby and I said "I do" somewhere in the back of my mind baby mode kicked in.
But us both being Libra's allowed for lots of planning, and we both agreed in waiting to have kids for a few years. We wanted to enjoy those first few years alone and just enjoy each others company.
From the start we always said "We're on the 5 year plan!"
My mother always replied with.."I hope that doesn't work out for you!"
As an only child, my parents have been anxiously waiting the last 3 years for grandchildren.
Looks like my mom got that wish, as we are two years shy of our "plan"
If I have learned anything about becoming parents, it's that you are never REALLY ready.
There is no set time, no way to prepare completely.
This first trimester has kicked my you know what!
I thought pregnancy would be all butterflies, and baby talk. Full of yummy foods, and cute maternity clothes. Little did I know it would consist of all day "morning sickness", exhaustion like I've never felt, and no bump at all! Just bloating :)
Whoever decided to name the nausea attacks "morning sickness" was seriously mistaken. I know every woman and every pregnancy is different. So as my first, I am already looking forward to my second hoping this portion is smoother. I have tried all the tricks in the books from saltine crackers, ginger, preggie pops, eating small frequent meals like a toddler, and natural remedies. Nothing seemed to be doing the trick. I decided to seek help from my doctor who prescribed me two medications, the second after the first wasn't working for 3 weeks. I have been on the second medication for a couple days now and it has helped the most so far of everything I have tried, but
I still can't go a day without barring my face in the toilet.
My husband always jokes with the doctor and family whenever someone asks how tired I am. He rants about how I was a "napper" before pregnancy so you can only imagine me now! I have to admit, he is kinda right. But you will never catch me complain about this symptom. I am taking advantage of all this sleep, while I still can!!
As it is still too early to determined the gender of the baby, every day is a guessing game.
I have done the Chinese gender calculator, compared my symptoms to all the old wives tales, tied my wedding bands to a string and dangled them over my belly, and gone over possible baby names a million times!
We are planning on doing a gender reveal party next month with our immediate family and close friends! So stay tuned if you are just as anxious as we are!
I am coming to the end of my first trimester and am looking forward to see what the second brings! Praying that bump I've always dreamt of rocking! Through the good and the bad, I am so blessed to be able to be carrying a child. I know so many woman can't...and my heart truly breaks for them.
Everyone should be able to experience this journey...

The Day I Discovered You
SUNDAY JULY 6TH, 2014
Wow.
What a whirl wind this whole day has been.
Started out like an ordinary Sunday.
The hubby and I woke up, got ready, made our way to church with our usual stop at starbucks.
I Normally get a Venti iced black tea and occasionally banana nut bread.
This morning I was feeling extra hungry and went for a bagel with cream cheese and my tea!
Church was amazing, as always.
We have found a home in a new church in New Albany, Ohio
where we lived shortly after married life. We look forward to our Sundays.
Afterwards we stopped by a store at Easton so the hubby could exchange something.
I waited in the car and just played on my phone. I was starting to feel a little nauseous.
But this didn't seem out of the norm for me, as I get car sick easily.
Headed home, and had a great talk about planning a family and parenting beliefs.
I was 11 days late, and didn't think much of this either, as I am always irregular.
(yeah look at me missing all the sings)
But we decided I should probably call the gyno in AM to see about our options since we
were officially trying to get pregnant. The hubby told me to take a test today, since that would be the first thing they are going to ask!
As he left for work, I Kissed him goodbye and headed to the grocery store.
Got everything on our list and the pregnancy test!
Remember thinking to myself as it was scanned at the register
"aw I will have to think of something cute to do tonight to surprise Levi when he gets home
to tell him were PREGNANT!" quickly shaking that thought away and laughing at myself saying.."I'm not pregnant"
Got home, took the test and laid it flat like instructions say.
I have taken test's before due to scares and usually look right away.
But this time, I turned it over and walked into the kitchen to unload grocery's.
I got distracted by telling a friend I was waiting on test results. We got caught up in the moment and excitement and I forgot to check the test for a little while. I went back to it finally, and it was clear as can be ...... PLUS SIGNSSS FOR DAYS!
I quickly call the friend back and started crying!
She squealed and said she was on her knees praying the entire time!
I jumped for joy, and cried some more, and then said "crap I have to call my mom"
My mom answered the phone and I said " you are going to be a grandma!" she couldn't even form sentences, as she was eager to be a grandma!
She barley said much more before saying "Pee on another one, I'm coming over" and hanging up without even saying goodbye!
We cried, and hugged! Once the excitment had died down a little, we headed to the store to buy some things to make that "surprise" I had initially thought about so that once the hubby got home from work I could shower him with the good news.
......Its now 10:30 pm, he is on his way home, and I am sitting here very impatiently lol.
I have already began pinning my life away! & according to all the apps in the world and usual estimating procedures, I am almost 6 weeks pregnant and "Baby Ing" is the size of an Appleseed!
I can't describe the emotions I am feeling.
I can promise you this has not even sunk in yet!
So enjoy this photo of How Levi will find out, while I keep processing all this excitement!
