And I apologize for not blogging about this sooner, but things have just been so hectic lately, I haven't had time to blog about anything!!! Summertime around here is CRAZY!!! What can I say?!?!
Anyways, as of yesterday 8-18-11 I was 16 weeks. My official due date is February 2nd, 2012, that's right, the day after my birthday :) We officially found out we were expecting when I was 12 weeks and 4 days. Daniel had been telling me for weeks that I was pregnant, but I didn't believe him. I didn't have any morning sickness or any other symptoms. I originally made a doctors appointment at the end of June to figure out what I had bled for so long after my last period. He sent me for blood work for anemia and a pregnancy test. I had this done on a Tuesday. I figured I'd give them till the week after to tell me my results. The Fourth of July fell on a Monday so I had to wait till Tuesday to call the doctor. The nurse told me that I wasn't anemic but my HCG levels were right where they are suppose to be and then asked me for the first day of my last period. At this point I'm think, is she telling me I'm pregnant? She never did just come out and say it, but I think she thought that I had already known that I was. She even set me up for an appointment for an ultrasound later in the month. Even after she told me this, I still didn't believe that I was. I had just got done bleeding for 25 days straight, had no symptoms, could this be true. We went to the doctor on July 25th to have my ultrasound. I went in expecting them to tell me I wasn't pregnant. I just wouldn't let my heart believe I was until I seen the baby or heard a heartbeat. Well low and behold, I seen and heard both. As soon as she put the ultrasound wand on me, there was the Gremlin :) (Daniel's nickname for it) They originally (with the dates I had given them) thought that I was about 8 weeks at that time, well baby was just a tab bit bigger than that, try a whole month bigger. So they pushed me out to 12 weeks, almost 13, and instead of my due date being February 29th, it's now February 2nd!! Our parents where ecstatic!!! I had never seen any of them happier!!! They sure are excited to have their first grandchild/another grandchild. Daniel and I are super excited too. We both are hoping for a boy, but of course will take whatever God grants us with. I go back to the doctor this Tuesday 8-23 for just a checkup I think. I don't think I have an ultrasound scheduled for that day. Then hopefully the next appointment we get an ultrasound to figure out what we are having!!!
