Finally....a positve result!

Okay, so it has been awhile since I have posted so I better catch everyone up.

January was a busy month for Ryan and I. First thing first....we found out that we are pregnant on January 17th! When I first took the test and saw a positive sign, I was in shock because the last few months all I saw was negatives. I ended up buying like 5 more tests to take because I had to be sure before I started calling everyone and sure enough they were all positive. We were so very excited. I went to the doctor the next day to get bloodwork done to confirm the pregnancy and that is when the month got a bit scary. My bloodwork came back showing I was definitly pregnant but my HCG levels (the pregnancy hormone) were very low. I ended up having to go get my blood drawn every two days for about two weeks. Most of you know that me and blood do not get along. I usually pass out every time and just a month before I found out I was pregnant I had to get blood drawn and I had a bad experience and passed out three or four times in the doctors parking lot...it was awful. So those two weeks of blood giving were not easy for me. Luckily I had my momma and Ryan and they came to my appointments with me to support me. Having my blood drawn started to get easier and easier. Good thing too, because I will be getting poked and proded a lot during this pregnancy. Well my HCG levels doubled and even tripled every two days so the doctor gave me two thumbs up and said he would see me when I was nine or ten weeks along. I was so relieved to know that everythingw as okay. I am six and a half weeks along and my due date is September 26th! These next eight months are going to be crazy but Ryan and I are so excited! So far I have had no morning sickness, so I have been lucky in that department but I better knock on wood because I pray I don't get it. I have had lot's of other symptoms and I call the nurse at my doctors office a million times a week...LOL. It is my first pregnancy so everything scares me and I am scared to use half the stuff in my house! Ryan and I even picked names already. If we have a girl we will name her Kaydence Grace and if we have a boy we will name him Keegan Ryan. I love both of those names and so does Ryan...which is amazing because he hated every other name I thought of. Well if anyone has any great advice for pregnancy and what not, send it my way because I am going to need it!
