The past 24 hours have been so exciting! It's finally starting to sink in. And Nathan's already kicked it into supportive-husband-of-a-pregnant-wife mode. Since I tend to be clumsy, he started carrying the laundry up and down the basement stairs for me. I actually already fell once since I've been pregnant. Luckily is was just the one step going down into the garage. Woops. {I actually used to fall down the stairs quite frequently growing up! So we'll be watching for falling hazards... especially this winter}
Knowing I could be pregnant made it much easier to eat healthy and pass on the Diet Coke... but knowing I am pregnant... now its super easy! I just hope I can keep it up. :)
I really appreciate everyone's kind words... Its nice to know that others are sharing in our excitement and joy!
We had a few questions about the shots now that we're pregnant, so I called Nurse Lori this morning and said, "Now that I can actually think straight..." It looks like I'll be on the estrogen pills for another month until we hear a heart beat and the progesterone shots for another 5-6 weeks. And Friday will be another blood test to make sure the my HCG levels have risen appropriately. They should double every 48 hours at this point. And then we're looking at our first ultrasound next week.
(I'm still so happy that I don't even care that I can hear my neighbors Mariachi music blaring through the wall!)
