So Here's What's Been Going On

The funny thing is I went Homecoming about a week before I figured I was pregnant, and all of my Kourts kept saying that I was or that I would be sooner than I thought!  They're rubbing it in now! 

I knew I was pregnant October 27th.  I figured something was up because I had strange dreams and when Trice and I went to see Saw V,  I couldn't sit through the movie that day at all!  I was in the ladies' room about 6 times during the movie.  I guess I will just have to go rent it.   My breasts were so sore... I typically panic so I thought I had tumors! LOL!  I went to the Dr. October 31 and Dr. Gray confirmed it but said it was really early.  Our original due date was July 4th!  We were excited about that!    We didn't know whether to tell our families or not b/c it was so early but we decided we could use their prayers.  It's amazing our news travels in Trice's family!!!  His mother's birthday party was the next day and so many people knew by then.  ( we had asked that it remain a secret for a little longer...too bad)  So our church knew and our families knew.  I told no one at work until I couldn't hide it anymore.  My morning sickness ( which is usually all day ) was getting harder to mask.  So, I announced it via E-card later in Nov.  Everyone seemed really excited.

Throwing up hasn't been too much of an issue,  but when I did, it was an all day thing.  I'm glad I made it out of that first trimester. It was rough! I lost a few pounds due to throwing up and not having an appetite but that is so over.  I'm hungry all the time!  I've gained about 5 pounds since my December visit to Dr. Gray.  

Our predicition is that it will be a boy although I've been trying to speak a girl into existence.  Chances are that it's a boy.  Trice's family is filled with them.  Dr. Gray even thinks it's a boy.  My family wants a boy.  Trice's sister Aliajha keeps saying twins....it's just one!

So I created a blog....

So I was a little nervous about creating a blog and I don't know why! LOL!  

I hope to keep my friends and family updated with what's going on with our first pregnancy. 

 I do have to admit that when I found out I was pregnant ( October 27, 2008) I was shocked to say the least. Not shocked because I couldn't believe it but shocked because I was told that it would be a little harder for me due to 1 specific reason.  Being the God-fearing woman that I am, I know that there is nothing that God can't do for those who believe in Him. So we prayed about it and gave it to God.  When I was told in July 2008 that it would be hard for me, my husband and I decided to steer clear from birth control.  I almost saw it as pointless and I am SCARED of side effects.   Our original plan was to start trying in June of 2009 in case fertility treatments had to be an option.   It's funny how the Lord works because I was weary of fertility treatments as well.  Needless to say, the Lord does what he wants and all you can do is be willing.   Never once since I found out that I was pregnant questioned anything.  I'm very blessed.  We weren't even trying.  Now, thank the Lord, I'm 16 weeks today!!
