We're positive!
January 17, 2007
My first day of my last cycle was December 13th, and the Floyd Family is happy to announce that we are expecting a baby to be born on or around September 19th, 2007!
Hooray!
I tested early Saturday morning, the 32nd day, because I figured that if I wasn't pregnant, it was the last possible day that I could have missed my period anyway. I had never used FOTM urine before for a positive test, and was very pleased that the results showed within about 30 seconds. So I kind of did a jig back to bed and Richard and I snuggled and talked a lot.
I am glad that the test was positive because I was feeling kind of pregnant before hand but still not sure what was up.
We decided not to tell the kids or anyone else until we have the viability ultrasound over with, and that is scheduled for February 2nd.
So far I am horribly nauseated in the morning. Everything smells wrong. I couldn't finish my shredded wheat this morning (almost every morning, I eat a cereal or bread with high fiber because otherwise I get horribly constipated). I also have had some muscular shooting pains on both sides, and my jeans are already tight. I think I am probably retaining water. I have been really thirsty and I have woken up the last five nights in a row to get a drink of water as well as get out of bed to pee. I have to remind myself that this is normal for pregnancy because Griffin was diagnosed with diabetes after getting up two nights in a row to pee for a long time. I checked my morning blood sugar just to feel better about it--it was 82, which is totally normal. So I think the signs are good, we're just waiting to see a heartbeat.
I would actually not mind seeing two heartbeats, which is kind of my personal secret. I have always wanted twins, and now that we have most of the baby equipment and lots of clothes and all of that, I would just as soon get the pregnancy thing over with and have the four kids we've always wanted. The down side is that I think I would feel badly about not being able to give each baby and the other kids enough attention, but that is already a concern with two children, so I think we would just have to adjust. But a single baby would be great too.
We have been having a nice time since we got home from Atlanta, which was the trip from hell. I am going to check now and see if I already wrote about that trip, because it was awful. It needs to be commemorated.
