Hi everyone!!! So, we are now at 7 weeks and 2 days. I have not gained any weight and am very happy to say so. I really don't want to gain way too much weight like alot of people do, that is not to say that I am starving myself or in anyway going hungry. This is my plan... to eat only when I'm hungry and to eat in between meal snacks that are healthy such as carrots, apples etc. I am trying my hardest to avoid desserts. Every once in a while I will eat something sweet but to be honest I don't have much of a sweet tooth anyway. My parents would only give me fruit as a snack when I was little, so to me fruit is more of a dessert than chocolate. I hope my plan works I really don't want to gain too much because that won't be healthy for me or baby soybean, and as I'm sure you know health is a huge deal to me :).
As requested earlier I will tell everyone how I found out I was pregnant. I don't know why I didn't think about writing it in my first post. So here is the story:
It was getting close for my period to be due and I had started feeling weird. I don't really know how to describe it but just not myself. I had said before that I didn't want to test early (before my missed period) because I didn't want to see another negative. To explain that comment I will say this, its AMAZING how hard we women try not to get pregnant to only discover how difficult it actually is. I mean obviously its not like impossible (at least not for us) but in the movies you know its like one time and BAM you're pregnant. Not the case in real life and as I've discovered not the case for the majority of couples. So anyway back to the story, we were sitting in the living room and I was on the computer and I just said to Andy "I kind of want to go buy a pregnancy test tonight". He was like "really? why?" I said "I don't know I just feel like we should because I've felt weird". He suggested I wait an hour and see if I still wanted to go buy one. I waited and when the hour was over I still wanted to go buy one. CVS is right beside our house so we just went over there and bought a test. We came home and I took it. You have to wait 3 minutes before you get the results so we set down the test and went into the kitchen to make a snack. We just stood around and talked and then I was like the 3 minutes are up. I walked over to pick up the test completely expecting it to be negative. Andy thought it would be negative too so we both were pretty nonchalant about looking at it. I picked it up and was like "OMG!!!!! OMG ANDY IT'S POSITIVE!!! IT'S POSITIVE!!!!". I started bouncing I got so excited about it. He ran up to me and hugged me and we just stood there for a few minutes hugging until it completely sunk in. I went and got it confirmed a week later and all my levels were good, which is when we decided to tell everyone.
I didn't surprise Andy with the news by hiding the fact that I was taking a test or anything like that because I wanted him to be with me. We had been trying for a while so it was nice to find out together and be surprised together. It was pretty surreal and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
