Knocked Up!

Here is what I saw on the morning of Friday, February 11th! I thought it may be too early to test, but of course I had spent the better part of the previous night on the internet looking to see when you can get a positive so I knew I would test in the morning. I was standing there waiting for the display to read something, I closed my eyes and said a prayer and when I opened my eyes it said Pregnant! Hubby was still sleeping but I knew I had to tell him asap so I ran in the bedroom with the stick and shook him awake. I don't know if he could actually read it but I knew he understood what it said. I turned the light on so he could see the words and I saw the big smile form on his face. Neither of us said anything...

I had blood work done that day to verify the pregnancy but I didn't get the results until the following Monday. I used up the rest of my box of tests that weekend just to keep seeing the readout say Pregnant. It was a great Valentine's present. 

Take Two

Only 9 days until my 26th birthday! Wow. I can totally remember being 16 and thinking how far away this stage of my life was. Then again, I remember thinking I'd be married with 2 kids and a career and house by this age too. Lol. I had no idea that 10 years was not enough time to do it all. I'm actually looking forward to being another year older. I am excited and happy to be transitioning out of my young adulthood and early twenties.

So the hubby and I have decided to start trying to get pregnant. I actually went off birth control pills in January because I had been taking them for 10 years and expected a delay before my cycles resumed. Well... that turned out to be an understatement. Six months later and I am finally on my first natural cycle! It has turned out perfect though since we weren't planning to start trying until June anyway. Since I have plenty of people in my life who have already had kids, I have heard stories of it taking a long time to get pregnant. The hubby and I are ok with that right now. We are having fun and just letting things happen. Of course we are hoping it won't take a long time and I am charting to help understand my body, but I believe things will happen when they are meant to.

I haven't spent much time in the kitchen lately but was able to whip up some homemade blueberry muffins last weekend while the hubby was working. Mmmm... they were delicious! I admit that not all of my baking creations come out perfect, but these were pretty close.

Now the hubby wants homemade blueberry oatmeal bars. Sounds good but I have to find a recipe still. I've been craving ice cream sandwiches though...
