The Prego Life

I am now almost 38 weeks and still can't believe I am about to have A BABY!!!!! Crazy Crazy Crazy!!! We are so excited and so anxious to know all about him and see what he really looks like. I love him so much already and can't imagine what I will feel when he is actually in my arms. Anyways, I wanted to diary about my pregnancy a little bit.
Brandon and I have been married for almost two years. It will be two years in March. So sorry if some of this is too much info..... haha. I started birth control when we got married and I HATED it!!! I was crazy. Made me more crazy than I already am. I was a mess!! Around August (after our wedding) I decided to go off of it and that was a great decision. I felt like ME again. We weren't really preventing and not really trying. We were just doing whatever. Looking back I guess we didn't really care if something happened because we were NOT very careful. haha! Of course every month I just "knew" i was pregnant! blah blah blah and I never was. :) The following June (yea almost A YEAR) i was super tired, my boobs hurt, and i felt a little different.  One night we went to taco Bell and i LOVE taco bell and it was soooo gross. I knew something was going on. Maybe i was just sick or something. That night Brandon went to the airport to pick up his brother. On the way home he stopped and got a pregnancy test. He woke me up but i refused to take it. For two reasons, I was nervous and my brother just had their first baby girl that very day. So i was ignoring the fact that I really could be preggy.  We woke up the next morning and i felt so sick. Brandon left for church and I gave in and took a test. Some of you may think that was rude to do it alone but if I were pregnant I always wanted to surprise Brandon with a test. I sat there and was shaking as i saw those TWO lines appear. I of course cried!! So excited and so nervous. I sent Brandon on a scavenger hunt when he got home, which led him into the now baby room. He was seriously so happy and so cute about it. He wanted to be pregnant more than I did. Isn't it usually the other way around?? :)
Anywho, it definately shows that its not on our time. We got pregnant when the Lord knew we were ready and could handle it. WE ARE READY!!! (we think) :) oh wait i forgot to mention about a week before taking the test I had a dream I gave birth to a baby and it was a BOY!!! For some reason we always thought when we got pregnant it was going to be a boy. then we started to really really want a boy, which was bad because we didn't want to be disappointed if it were a girl. I am not kidding the day after I took that test I was sick. Let the Nausea begin. :( I was thinking well I am atleast 4 weeks along to get a positive pregnancy test. When we finally got to the doctors we found out I was 12 weeks!! yay almost to the feeling better stage. Nope it lasted about six weeks after that. Thank goodness for Zofran. It didn't cure it but sure let me function.  So when I found out i was about 6 weeks which makes sense why i was sick literally the next day. haha. I never threw up just nauseous ALL DAY EVERYDAY, which is almost worse I think. I would cry myself to sleep, call my mom in the middle of the night, just miserable. I would say I am never ever doing this again!! This is AWFUL!!! It finally passed and now looking back i have forgotten that feeling and LOVE being pregnant! Thank goodness because this kid would have been an only child if not. (not that there is anything wrong with that) :) I finally got some energy back and was loving it! Feeling him go crazy every minute in my belly was just so fun. I was getting kinda bored at home and then when we found out we were having a boy i just wanted to buy so many things. I thought I need a J.O.B, something part time and not stressful. I quit American Laser Centers and we thought I was done done. But nah i found a job sitting on the phones and being on facebook everyday all day. BEST pregnant job a girl could have. I left there right before Christmas. We will see how things go after the baby if I wanna work again. As for now i get the blessing to be a stay at home mama! For those of you who are prego or have been I am sure you can relate to the charlie horses, the sore enormous boobs, the paleness in the skin, the back aches, the headaches, the trying to put shoes on stage and realize "wow i really cant do this", want nothing but sweat pants on, being so tired you think you are going to DIE, the laziness, the baths, the nonsense meltdowns (that are hilarious the next day), the huffing, the puffing, the horrible gas (sorry), clothes not fitting, (brandon just shouted out "hatred for sex" ) hahah SO TRUE, pointed tummy when your trying to get up, and many many more weird things. I would say cravings but I unfortunately didn't have any :( I have overall had such a great experience and the ONE thing i can complain about that i have just HATED is a stuffy nose the WHOLE time. I'm not uncomfortable and sleep fine, but my nose being stuffy is so annoying. Hope it goes away. I think if that's the only thing I can HATE while being pregnant i did pretty good! Well I think I have covered the last nine months. We are so excited and I can't wait to love my husband more and more because of OUR baby. He will be an awesome dad and I can't wait to see that. Baby Walker we are ready for you to come into our life :)
