I kept this wonderful journal for your sister, Ava, when I was pregnant with her. It is so neat to go back and read it now: how I was feeling, how she was growing, what foods I was eating, how Daddy was feeling, what was going on in our lives... I want to give you that same gift- I'm very excited to have the opportunity!
Daddy and I have been trying to conceive you for several months. I was on my third round of the fertility drug, Clomid. My last period was on Monday, February 2nd. I took a pregnancy test on Tuesday, March 3rd. I got up early that morning and was trying to hold off on taking the test for another week but the excitement got the best of me. Right as I'm coming out of the bathroom, Daddy walks into the bathroom. I asked him what he was doing awake so early and he said he couldn't sleep. I pointed for him to walk into the bathroom to see the result. We were both shocked, excited, scared. I came to work and called Dr. Irvin's office that same day. On Thursday, March 5th, I went to see Dr. Irvin and she did some blood work. On Monday, March 9th, I went for another blood test. A couple days later, I got a call from Dr. Irvin's nurse saying that all my pregnancy hormone levels were where they're supposed to be and everything appeared to be normal and healthy.
The first person I told was Paula. I told my hair lady, Jennie Carter when she was coloring my hair on March 5th. I told David Carsey, Jennifer Parker, Matt Parker, Terence Botha, and Laura Domingue when I went to Houston for a short visit on March 6th and 7th. I told Scott and Cindy Szewczyk at church on March 8th. I told Christina Fabianich on the phone on my way home from work one day after she wanted to get together for a playdate/happy hour with our kiddos and hubbies. I told Paige Vincent after she questioned what I was drinking when we were playing Bunco on March 12th (I tried to put grape juice in a solo cup in hopes that people would think it was red wine). Daddy told Uncle Danny at his golf tournament the weekend I was in Houston. When I picked Ava up at school last Friday, Miss Shelly asked if we were going to go drink margaritas (our Friday night family ritual is to go eat Mexican food) so I told her that I would not be partaking in any alcoholic beverages for a while. I told the family on Sunday, March 8th. Grammy and Grandad had everybody over for Sunday dinner and I knew Grandad would ask me if I wanted some wine. My response was "ask me in six more weeks. I don't drink in the first trimester". Everybody was elated!!! Uncle Greg teased me the rest of the day that I'm going to have twin girls.
Today is a very important day! Daddy and I are going to your first ultrasound. I'm hoping and praying that everything is okay and you are healthy and growing good in Mommy's belly! I'm nervous and excited. I have to have 32 oz of water drank by 12:00 and I can't pee until after the ultrasound! I'll let you know how it goes...
