I can't believe it, but....We are pregnant!
I am truly shocked that this happened so quickly, but with so much excitement, I am so happy to type that we are pregnant! I found out last night after coming home from a week long vacation to the Grand Canyon and Lake Havasu. My LMP started 5/2. My hubby S got me an Ava fertility tracking bracelet for my Birthday on May 12, so we were starting to track my cycle for a few days before it said I was in my peak window.. I never in a million years thought this would happen for us so quickly. I was incredibly anxious about the chances of being infertile, even though I didn't really have a huge reason to be so concerned.
Anyways, I took my first pregnancy test yesterday 5/26 in the afternoon while my hubby was sitting by the TV watching the Warriors game. I wasn't even going to take one, but did it on a whim while I was going to the bathroom anyways. When I saw the faint two pink lines within a few seconds after using the stick, I let out an "omg omg omg" to myself. I couldn't believe it. I just sat there for the next 3 minutes, watching it get darker and darker in front of my eyes. After I got out of the bathroom, I knew I had two options - tell my hubby right then, or try to sneak away and do something cute to surprise him. So, I told him I had to run to target really fast to get some binders for work (totally didn't lol). He didn't suspect anything. I ran to target and went straight to the baby aisle. I spent about 3 minutes just walking around the isle staring at all the adorable baby clothes, before picking out a little newborn onesie with the words 'Let the Adventure Begin" with a little mountain theme. It was so perfect given the fact that we just returned from the Grand Canyon. I got a little gift bag and through the pregnancy test in on top and then drove back home. When I got home, the hubby was still glued to the basketball game, so luckily he didn't see that I didn't have any binders. I told him I got him an early birthday present (his birthday is on Wednesday). Here is the video below. I love a) he thought it was something for our doggy, and 2) how genuinely happy and surprised he was.
In the Grand Canyon, we did a 13 mile extremely strenuous hike. Because this was our first real month trying (we kind of tried a little the month before, but missed our peak fertility window) and because of the crazy hike, we thought no baby could be conceived under these conditions. We started to joke now that we are going to name the baby "Warrior" if he is a boy...dont worry, we really won't lol.
So far, the only symptoms I have been feeling are a little nausea, even though I thought this happens much later. I have also had a little bit of nipple soreness, but otherwise feel good. I think that now that I know, the symptoms seem more. Today, I feel much more bloated, but I don't know if I would have really realized that if I thought I wasn't pregnant.
This morning, I took a second test just to make sure it was real...and it was even more positive. I have now downloaded like 5 pregnancy apps. I keep staring at the pregnancy tests. I am just so so so excited. I know there is still a high chance of miscarriage, because I am only 3 weeks 5 days today. Thats right, I haven't even gotten to the point of missing a period yet. I have convinced myself that even if this pregnancy doesn't stick, at least we know we can get pregnant! ...but I really really really want this to stick. It seems crazy, but I'm already so in love with the little chia seed that is growing inside of me right now.
Only 9 more weeks until I can tell anyone.. :)
