This past week, Craig and I found out we were pregnant. It was a bit of a surprise for a couple of reasons. First, We have not been "trying" for very long. I quit taking birth control back in May, and so I figured it would take awhile to get out of my system. I also had a weird period last month where I actually thought I was pregnant because I had out of the ordinary symptoms. I figured it could have been a chemical pregnancy. So, when this one came around with no symptoms I figured it wasn't anything because I usually don't have it too bad in that department.
However, after I was late 3 days I figured something might be up and wanted to take a test. Craig wanted me to wait a week, but I told him that he could decide when to take a test the next time he thought he might be pregnant. It's hard because your body is a constant reminder of what is, is not, or could be going on. Sure enough, there were two lines. This all happened before school on Tuesday. It was weird not saying anything about it, but Craig and I both agreed to wait until the 3 month mark to release the news. Craig suggested we go out for dinner to celebrate and I felt like having Koriya, again. It's a Korean restaurant and they have a lot of options for their bibimbap. Looking back, I can see how my pallet has been effected. I've lost a lot of craving for sweet things and heavier foods. A few nights, all I've wanted was a smoothie and salad. So, Koriya hit the spot.
Since the day we've found out I've been pretty tired. That's the biggest symptom I've felt so far. We did a lock in for Art Club Friday night and I can't believe I made it through. I almost thought of cancelling it, but just couldn't do that. It was funny because one of them said something to me about having a baby and I was just like, "We'll see..." and smiled. I'm really excited to tell everyone. We're going to tell my family when we celebrate my birthday. I'm going to try to get my dad and brother, Ernie, to come to my mom's for it. We'll tell Craig's family when we see them about a week later in Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving. I'm so glad we will get to tell them in person.
