A two line answer

By now you probably know that Andrew and I are expecting a baby.  We have known this since June! I came from work and I tried a pregnancy test just for fun and saw the 2 lines! (If you don't know how the pregnancy test works, it is 2 lines = pregnant and 1 line = not pregnant).  Anyway, I thought the 2 lines meant not pregnant so, I was OK with it.  However, I read once more and I found out I was pregnant.  I could not believe it! I really could not.  I didn't really "FEEL" pregnant.  I didn't even know how a pregnant woman felt. I took a picture of the pregnancy test and I sent it to Andrew right away with a note: I LOVE YOU! Half an hour later I called him because he had not responded and I asked him, "what do you think about the picture I sent?" Then he said, "what picture?" I told him to put me on hold while he checked that out.  When he came back to the phone he was SO EXCITED! he was laughing in awe and excitement!

So, I didn't know how far along I was, so... we decided to wait a week to call the doctor and set up an appointment.  I started to get this pain on my low right abdomen; sometimes it was really sharp! I looked it up on google and found that it could be an ectopic pregnancy which scared me.  I told Andrew this and he said not to worry about it but all I did was worry and worry.  After a few days I bled just a little bit and I was scared out of my wits!!!! I started crying and Andrew called the doctor.  We went to the doctor for an ultrasound and the baby was doing JUST FINE! The doctor said that the pain is normal and that I shouldn't worry about it at all.  I was only 7 weeks and was so happy to see my baby was in my uterus and this was the very first time we heard our baby's heart.  This was simply one of the best moments in our lives... to know that we had our little baby in there... and it had a heart! It was incredible.

Since then, it has been a LOOOOOOOOOOONG journey, believe me... specially for me.  The second and third month of my pregnancy were the worst.  I am so happy it's over.  I always felt nauseous, light-headed, dizzy, energy-less, tired and constantly vomiting.  Even brushing my teeth makes me feel sick (it still happens sometimes).  I lost my appetite as well; can you believe I didn't even want to go to Tucanos on my birthday? and we had that free meal birthday card!
We went to the doctor to get a prescription for my nausea and even with the medication I still felt sick and threw up.  There were days where I would come from work and just stay in bed for the rest of the day.  I am so grateful I have a loving and helping husband; he cooked and cleaned for so many weeks and still does whenever I feel sick and even when I'm not just to spoil me :)
