So, we are at the start of another year and I already have something great happening to me. I am still pinching myself like every 5 minutes, sometimes every 2 minutes just to make sure that I am not dreaming. I have decided to take a journey like never before and blog about my daily emotions and of course my ever growing belly. So far I have got nothing but support with the news of my pregnancy. I have realized that it isn't everyday that you post on your Myspace that you are preggers with your 6th child. But I also have come to realize that not everyone has the same mindset as I do.
Just in case you don't know how this all came to be, let me fill you in. First and foremost, more children were never out of the question. Yeah, we wanted more. But we weren't sure when. We do actually plan, yeah, it is so hard to believe based on the brood we already have. But there were times when I would wonder if it were a good time. So, I decided that I wasn't getting any younger and so what the heck...you only live once right?
Chris was always for it. He loves having a lot of kids and so do I. So, we decided to just go for it. The funny thing is that when you get older it becomes harder to conceive. With my other 5 and the 2 babies I lost..it seemed so easy. I could just watch for all the signs my body would throw out and bam..I would be pregnant. This time was a little more difficult I must say. I watched for a couple of months for all the signs and I actually thought they were there. I would get disappointed when we didn't get pregnant. But this past time was different. I really watched for the signs and it happened. I even went as far as to buy one of those ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitors w/ the ClearBlue Easy Fertility Sticks. You know, those monitors are over $200.00!!! The sticks are pretty pricey as well.
I managed to win one off of eBay for $52.50 including shipping. I got a 3 month supply of the sticks for $36.00! Those were never opened. The lady I bought the monitor off of used it for 1 month and got pregnant. So, as I am trying to conceive, I thought to myself..Wow! This is what I need. Well......needless to say, I never got to use them. I got pregnant before I could. I hit my high peak before the items arrived to me. I am going to turn around and resell the items. I am sure if we ever decided to get pregnant again I will just buy another one. No doubt there will be something else better out on the market. I thought that was very funny.
So Chris and I conceived by using the Natural Method. Same way as before, but with just a little more effort. For Christmas we went to my Mom's in Oklahoma. I was telling my mom and sister about how there is a chance I could be preggers. I didn't think I was far enough along at that point to test. Although it would have been great to surprise them with the news while I was there. So, I decided to wait until we got back to Louisiana to test. I wasn't even sure if the test would even be positive, but I knew that it should be by now. Yesterday, Noah and I went to Walmart to buy some groceries. I decided to just give in and not wait any longer. I bought the best pregnancy test out there. First Response had given me luck in the past, so I got one with 2 in a box. I got home and decided to take it then. It was early afternoon, but I figured that it would show up no matter if I took it early in the morning or not. So, with my fingers crossed I took it.
In less than 10 seconds it was a positive! I couldn't believe it! I watched as the line got darker and darker. I called Chris right away and my Mom and sister. We told the kids last night. They were so happy. I plan on telling my other family once I go to the Dr. They are very supportive, but they worry about me and my health. So just to relieve them, I will wait for a definite that everything is ok.
How am I feeling? So far, I am feeling the same. A little tired, but nothing major yet. I am dreading the morning sickness phase, but I know that is part of it. I have a lot of support from all around me, so I know things will be okay. My kids are getting older and they will be there as well. Not to mention Chris. He babies me when I am pregnant. I feel better just know that I am going into this again with a lot of support. I plan on posting pics each month of my ever so growing belly. My babies tend to get bigger the more I have. We are all so happy and anxious for what the next 8 months will bring.
