I took two home pregnancy tests that morning and both came back positive! My usual reaction to eventful (or even uneventful) moments is to scream but, for some reason, I did not scream when I saw those double lines. I very calmly walked into the bedroom and said, "You know how today is Mother's Day? Well, you better get me a gift!"
Even more amazing is that Adam got it right away!
After doing some calculations, it looks like I am about 6 weeks along. Although this fact is a little surprising, this pregnancy is not unplanned. I just honestly thought it would take a lot longer to become pregnant.
I also thought Adam was going to be a little freaked but, from the word go, he has been nothing but excited, helpful and (of course!) curious. We went to the library the next day to get some books (What to Expect when You're Expecting, Eating Well When You're Expecting, Pregnancy Stretching and, for Adam, Making Babies).
The evidence of Adam's self-education about pregnancy and birth was made apparent when I arrived home from work two days later to questions like, "What do you think about epesiotimies?"
We are keeping this a secret from everyone until we are in the 2nd trimester. So, until week 14, none of this will be on the blog. But, I wanted to clue everyone into the early days of this pregnancy after we make it public.
But, honestly, there is not much to say. I have had zero nausea, no fatigue, no dizziness, no metallic taste in my mouth. Nothing.
I told Adam that I wish I had some nausea or something because then I would feel pregnant.
He said I should be careful what I wish for and I suppose he is right.
While I'm waiting for that nausea to show up, I'll update weekly on this blog. For all of you more interested in the garden, do not worry. This is still a garden blog!
But, once a week, it will also be a baby blog. This week, my baby is the size of a sweet pea. (At least we are keeping with a produce theme!)
