How We Found Out

February 25th, 2011 was the best day of our lives. That was the day we got married, and it was perfect. We have beautiful memories that will last a life time. Just two days after we left for our Honeymoon and enjoyed 7 days of relaxation. Nothing to do but enjoy each other and bask in the glow of being newlyweds. Coming home was certainly a shock, we were thrown right back into reality. We spent the next week wondering how it went by so fast. Then on March 15th our lives changed.

I had a slight feeling that maybe I should take a test, just to put my mind at ease. I didn't really think I was pregnant, but I was late and I needed reassurance. I was at Walmart walking around, talking on the phone to my brother when I walked past the EPT section. I grabbed the cheapest one I could find and threw it in the cart. No big deal. Danny happened to be home that night and we decided to grill some food for dinner. In the middle of cooking I remembered I bought it, and I ran to the bathroom quick to take it. Again, no big deal, not really worried. Yeah...it was positive.

I called Danny in to the bathroom and with a very shaky hand, showed him the proof. After that point, it's mostly a blur. I was overcome with emotion. I called my mom and dad and then we sat down to dinner. Hard to eat after that! Neither of us really able to believe it.

After a few doctor's appointments we figured out that the baby is due around November 19th, 2011. He or she is growing well and has a very strong heart beat. He or she is also putting their momma through hell. Shortly after figuring out we were pregnant, I started to feel nauseous. It is a 24-7 nausea with very little relief. I have also experienced every other symptom that pregnancy brings. It has certainly been difficult but knowing what it is all for makes it worth it. We feel blessed and we do not take for granted the miracle that was bestowed upon us.

So this is a blog about our Sweet Baby Chen and the whole pregnancy experience for us. This is new to both of us and we welcome any advice!

PS- I have the most amazing husband in all of the world. He does everything and anything he can to help me through this difficult time. He reads his book, makes sure I take my vitamins and only eat whats good for us (baby and I). I know it is just as hard for him as it is for me. Love you, Baby! <3
