Diaries Of A Trophy Wife

We're Gonna Have A Baby!

OMGosh, I'm gonna be a Mom! That freaks me out! Travis and I are so excited about being pregnant, but right now the normal emotion is scared!!! I never have been one to handle change well, even though we asked for this, it's still going to change our lives forever, and now that it's a reality it's scary. There are so many things to plan for and decisions to make, it's all overwhelming. Travis says to take things one day at a time, even though that's hard to do. He is so adorable though. He keeps going around saying, "I'm gonna be a Daddy." with a huge smile on his face. I have no doubt that he will be a great Dad. My parents are beside themselves excited. And when Travis told his parents, to my surprise, they were happy and excited, Travis said.

Since I wanted to be really sure I was pregnant, I took 3 tests. Some people might think one test is enough, but on babycenter.com forums, some women have tested over 10 times!!

Test #1 January 15th, 2008 (2 lines means you're pregnant)

Thanks to Angie I knew to get this test.

Test #2 January 16th, 2008

Test #3 January 22nd, 2008 (The line is darker too :-))

Yesterday was my first appointment. It was with a nurse to go over paperwork. I got a bag full of stuff which made me excited. I love free stuff. It had a baby changing pad and a sample of Enfamil formula, 2 magazines, the book What To Expect When You're Expecting, and a little book of baby names. I am however alittle aggravated by the whole visit because I thought the whole reason of going would be to confirm the pregnancy and go from there, but they didn't do that! Even though I know I'm pregnant, it would've been reassuring to hear it from the dr. They had lab work done to check my Rh, blood type, and immunity to Rubella and German Measles, things of that sort. I even called later in the afternoon to make sure that none of the tests were to confirm pregnancy. I wish they would be more forthcoming with information because this is my very first time doing this and I have no clue what I'm doing or what to expect. They did say that the next visit or the one after the dr. will check for the heartbeat and I will get to hear it! That will be so amazing! It will probably make me cry. Speaking of which, I have been a hormonal monster lately! I felt so sorry for Travis last night. I started crying and said that I've made my parents into grandparents and that means that now they're old, and that means they're gonna die soon. How horrible is that? And I've also cried because Bella has really been sticking close to me, I think she can sense something is going on, and I feel like I've been making her worry. I know, crazy. Anyways, other than that I've been peeing alot, and I've had some nausea (luckily it stops at that). I definately feel pregnant.

Everyone we've told has been so great. And everyone has said how we should let them know if we need anything. I really appreciate everyone's support. Especially since I'm so emotionally crazy right now, it makes me feel good that people care.

I'm due around September 14th, 2008.
