Change of Plans

About six months ago we had no plans for a child in the near future. Plans changed. By the way of some baby hunger, conference talks and spiritual nudging we came to the conclusion that now was the time that we needed to start our family. Our situation regarding school, finances and jobs wasn't going to get any better for awhile. At the end of March I for sure thought I was pregnant. I tested and tested and tested over the next two weeks. 12 times to be exact none of them confirming my suspicions. All of them confirming to Trevor that I was truly crazy. I gave it a rest for about five days. On a Monday morning before work around 6 am I woke up. I decided to take one more test. I just knew it would be negative but I needed to take one last test. To put my mind at ease. Two lines appeared. I freaked out a little. I knew for sure I was so crazy I was now seeing things. I walked out of the bathroom. I woke Trevor up by saying quite loudly " ummm Trevor I think I really am pregnant! You need to come check." He rolled out of bed, walked into the bathroom and looked at the test. Yup two lines. Then he preceded to go back to bed! I was freaking out. He was asleep. Later that same day Trevor was so excited he told all his coworkers and various random people throughout the week. Neither of our families even knew. We ended up telling them that Sunday. We went to the doctor a couple weeks after. My due date is December 23. We are getting a baby for Christmas! Since then things have been crazy. At first I felt really good just really tired then I started getting sick. My life is currently unpredictable I wake up in the morning not knowing whether I will be worshipping the " white porcelain goddess" that day or not. I have a prescription for zofran which has helped a lot. Hopefully I will be out of this lovely phase soon and be able to enjoy life a little more.
