HUGE SURPRISE! We are pregnant!!! Today marks 3 months since our miscarriage, so I figured it was fitting to post the news. I took a pregnancy test Saturday because it was my 2nd day late and to my surprise, I got a BFP! I instantly started to cry and then I suddenly went into a panic state. I didn't know what to do. After getting my composure together, I put the pregnancy test in my pocket and ran to the living room and plopped on Shae's lap. I told him to close his eyes, held out the test in front of him and had him open. We were both so ecstatic!

Backstory: This is our first month TTC after our miscarriage so I really didn't set my hopes up too high. But I took a test exactly one week prior (6 days before missed period) and it was negative. So I thought for sure I was not pregnant this month. I initially took the test in the first place because I was having quite a bit of lower back pain and having hormonal breakouts on my chin like I've NEVER had before. As the week progressed, I noticed the back pain was not going away, my breakouts were only getting worse, and I was back to falling asleep on my breaks at work, napping at home and going to bed early. Saturday, October 15th, I decided to take a test because I was 2 days late, and we were going out with some friends and wanted to double check and make sure just in case I decided to have a beer. The positive came up almost instantly. Today, October 17th, I went to the doctors for my blood test and got a positive again and I will be making my OB intake appointment on Wednesday.

How far along? 4 weeks, 4 Days (EDD is June 22, 2017)

Total weight gain/loss: Not entirely sure yet. I honestly haven't weighed myself in so long. I sure look and feel so bloated, though!

Maternity clothes? None yet.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: I have been tired ALL day. All I want to do is sleep. But lately, I've been dealing with insomnia. Last night I woke up at 2:30am and was awake until 5am. It was terrible!

Symptoms: Lower back pain has been the worst, terrible breakouts, fatigue/exhaustion, sore boobs, and SO damn thirsty all the time.
Best moment this week: Getting our positive result on the home pregnancy test and our confirmation today after my blood test!

Have you told family and friends: I told my mom immediately and a few of our close friends know. We are waiting to tell our family after our first ultrasound and announcing it at 12 weeks!

Miss Anything? Sleeping through the night

Movement: Not yet

Food cravings: No, but when I get hungry I HAVE to eat within like 20 minutes or I will die. Or at least that is how it feels.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope not yet!

Have you started to show yet: If you count the bloat that is my entire stomach, then yes. Otherwise, nope!

Gender prediction: I kind of have a feeling it is a girl, and Shae thinks boy again.

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! I am so unbelievably happy!

Looking forward to: Progressing and scheduling our first OB appt on Wednesday!
