Welcome to my new blog! I am not the best at keeping up with written journals but I really want to have a record of this exciting time in our lives. Clayton and I found out that I was pregnant on March 24, 2013. I took a pregnancy test on a whim while he was at his hospital clinical rotation. I have taken multiple pregnancy tests in the past and every one has been negative. I really believed that this one would be as well...

 

 

I was shocked when I looked at the test two minutes later and saw two pink lines. So many emotions hit me at that moment...shock, elation, nervousness. It was a moment that I will never forget. I immediately wanted to tell Clayton but knew that I did not want to just send him a text about it. Instead, I went to the store and bought a onesie that said "World's Best Dad" on it as well as an orange one with an alligator in pink. I wrapped those up along with two positive pregnancy tests and waited anxiously for him to get home. It took him a few seconds to process when he opened it but he was very excited when it sank in. "Wow" was his key phrase for several minutes!

 

 





Right after the positive test...note the bloating!

 

 

 

I am almost 15 weeks now. Baby looks healthy and the pregnancy has been very easy so far. We are thrilled about this baby and cannot wait for the months ahead! I have so much to catch up on...I have been doing weekly pictures for a couple weeks now. Over the next few days I will try to get them all up.
