Yeah - you heard me!

So about 3 weeks ago, I visited the doctor, prepared to find out that there was yet another problem with my reproductive system and I was on the verge of having another horrific surgery to ensure. I went for some tests and prepared for the worst. The very next day - coincidentally my birthday - the doctor called and instead of telling me what i feared hearing the most, all she said was congratulations.

I'm pregnant.

I'm sorry. I'm WHAT?

The next day was the ultrasound where i found out I have a small blood clot that is reasonably normal during pregnancy and required me to take things easy. I also found out that I was 9 weeks along. CRAZY! I saw : this crazy little character in my tummy wiggle around. There was a little heart beating (which I cannot lie..I couldn't see). There are arms and legs...well..let me just show you:



So the past couple of weeks have been immensely interesting. I've been a ball of excitement, anxiety, hormones, mood swings, stress...a little bit of everything. I'm a nervous wreck about what this blood clot can cause. I'm aware of everything I eat and drink. I get stressed about every little unfamiliar ache an pain. I read the books obsessively. I'm immensely excited and don't know how I will last 6 months. It is all a little overwhelming and hard to explain to the people around me. I feel bloated and full and hungry all at once. And I Have to pee every two seconds. It is such a whirlwind of feelings.

But overall, I can't lie. I'm really excited. I have an ultrasound on Friday and I CANNOT wait to see this little thing again.I want to know that everything is ok and he/she is growing and looks as healthy as can be. I just want to know everything is ok enough for me to start getting attached to the fact that on December 26th - I'm due to become a mommy. What a Christmas present!
