I'm PREGNANT!?!?!?!

Saturday, December 15th, I found out that I am pregnant. This is something that I have been waiting to happen to me for what seems like forever. All I really ever remember wanting to be growing up is to be a mom and it seems like my prayers have been answered.

On Friday, I realized that I hadn't started my period yet, it was only a couple days that I had missed, and yet I had this overwhelming feeling that I was pregnant. I didn't want to get too excited because there were times when I thought I was and was disappointed in the end. So while I was at work I started looking at some information about being pregnant. I just like knowing this things anyways, the whole idea of an egg and sperm coming together at exactly the right time to create a new life is just fascinating! While exploring WebMD I kept thinking to myself that I was pregnant and then just brushing the thought away.

Saturday morning I woke up pretty early. I just couldn't go back to sleep no matter how hard I tried plus my cat was sleeping on my head so that didn't help too much. I still hadn't started my preiod and I just couldn't get the idea out of my head that I was pregnant so I decided that I would do a pregnancy test just for the heck of it. I was half expecting it to say that I wan't, that had happened a couple times before. But to my surprise....it said "pregnant"! I just couldn't believe it. I stood there in shoock for a couple minutes before I ran out of the bathroom with the test in my hand to wake up Josh. I was so excited when I said his name he thought that something was wrong...he told me his first thought was that the house was on fire. I said "Josh, I'm pregnant!" His resonse, "Nu uh?" and I showed him the test. He smiled and just hugged me. After that we couldn't go back to sleep.

That same day we were leaving with his family to go to Louisianna to visit his sister and brother-in-law so everyone knew by the time we left. My family lives in Utah so I had to wait a little bit before I could tell everyone the good news. We called my mom and dad on Josh's truck's phone. I made sure both of them were on the phone before I said anything. I told them I was pregnant and mom screamed out with joy. It was great.

Right now I am just praying that this pregnancy goes well and that God blesses us with a happy and healthy child. I'm only 4 weeks along and already I can't wait. Vonda, my mom-in-love, already has her vote in for a girl. Josh wants a boy...I really don't care. I will be happy with whatever God blesses us with, since He is the one that gave me the desire of my heart in the first place. ....But secretly, I think it's a girl.

I just called and set up an appointment with my doctor. They want to see me when I am close to 8 weeks along, so the appointment isn't until January 9th. I know when I go that I am going to have some questions for her.

Along with my goofing around on the interent today, I came across the Chinese Gender Predictor Chart, I just put in my birthday (6-8) and when I'm due (8-22), and it told me that Josh and I are going to have a boy. I wonder if that's true. Josh would be very happy to if that is true. Like I said, I like finding random information. :)
