Well it's official.....I'm pregnant!

Got the "official" word from the Doc today although I really didn't need the extra confirmation...my body's been telling me for over a month now, actually I knew even before I was able to take a home pregnancy test.

I took the home test on Christmas morning and just walked out of the bathroom and told the hubby, "well, we're pregnant." I'm a woman of few words if you didn't know! Anyway, he was pretty surprised because I kept telling him that I really thought because of my history that it would probably take several months for us to actually get pregnant. But, the good Lord proved me wrong on that big time, which I will be forever thankful for! :)

My mom had stayed the night Christmas Eve (& my dad is still staying w/ us due to his strokes), so Christmas morning I took the positive pregnancy test downstairs where only my mom was up and told her I had a gift for her. I held out the test and she looked at it and wasn't sure what it was a first. She asked me what it was and when I told her it was a positive pregnancy test, she just hugged me and started to cry. Dad came down later and I did the same to him and he thought I was holding a thermometer or something for him, it was quite funny, but he finally got it and started to cry too. No one knew that we had even started trying, so it was quite a surprise.

Anyway, we are very exited and a little nervous too, which I'm told is to be expected. This will be our first and I'm almost certain (yes at only 6 weeks) that we are going to have a girl. My reasons? Because everyone around us is having boys. There have been a total of 14 boys born in the last 5 yrs to family and friends of ours, and only 3 girls. We gotta balance those scales out at some point, right?! We have decided not to learn the sex of our little one ahead of time. I think not knowing will make the whole experience much more exiting especially during labor and delivery. We already have a name if it's a boy, but we are stuck on two names if it's a girl. I like one name and John likes the other, so maybe we'll put a poll up on this blog and ask my readers which name they like best.

So yay! We are pregnant! Now if I can just get past this being tired as heck faze, I'll be good to go! Also, I go for my first ultrasound this week so any and all prayers would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
