2 Positive pregnancy tests!! :)

October 11, 2009

I made the decision last year that I'd like to be a Mom. Prior to this, I wavered on the idea. My fiance has three children from a previous marriage, whom I love dearly. I mothered them and I felt satisfied with that. But then... Mother nature prevailed! Those natural urges kicked in - at age 3o, and I felt that I deserved a shot at a kid of my own. I know I'll be a good Mother, so we decided we would do it - after the wedding.

Well...... 2009 rolled around - recession hit, and we just couldn't bring ourselves to spend all that money on a big wedding - and Deryk is not one to do anything small, so we're still affianced with no wedding date set - and my clock is ticking!

I stopped birth control in the summer of '09, and just let nature take it's course.

On Friday October 9, my period was due, and I just knew it wasn't coming. I bought a pregnancy test and voila!! I was right!

So for now I'm only 4 weeks along, very early days. I haven't told many people, my BFF, my running partner (who has to know becuase even though I'm going to continue to run, the pace will be a little slower) and my step-sister who is also pregnant right now. Deryk is so excited he told his best Friend Chris - who he's already chosen as the God father. Chris almost cried when he found out - he's so honoured, but I think he'll make a great uncle and hopefully - we'll inspire him to settle down and have some kids of his own!! (Yes that's my evil plan).

I want to shout it from the rooftops!! I'm so excited - but I know it's way too early - anything can happen, but, I just KNOW everything's gonna be OK. I prayed today and thanked God for giving me this little miracle.

So far, no major symptoms yet apart from bigger boobs (yay!). I feel great, even without coffee and tea! How amazing is that? I feel sexy too Hehehhehe

I plan to blog weekly and maybe even daily if I have interesting news!!

I plan to continue running, and maintain my health and fitness regimen, but I'll probably stop the kickboxing and bodysculpting classes - they're really tough and the first trimester is the most delicate so I don't want to jeopardize my Baby!! I'm gonna try really hard not to gain too much weight, I'm comfortable running everyday so I will continue.

These will be published after the first trimester.......
