4 home tests and a blood test...

Well, I am not sure what to post here but I have gotten a few requests for a blog about this pregnancy...

Where do I begin? I guess I should tell you that Garrett and I were both shocked when we learned that there was a baby in the near future. I was a couple days late and I thought that it was from stress at work but just to make sure that I wasn't pregnant, I bought two cheap tests (who wants to buy the expensive ones just to find out your not). Well.............it was POSITIVE!!!!! And boy did I almost have a heartache! Garrett came home about 15 minutes later (I didn't want him to think I was being delusional when I wasn't pregnant, so he wasn't there) and I told him. He freaked out too for a little bit but after we let it stink in for a while we were okay and ecstatic! We realized that all though we were not trying to get pregnant, that God's hand was at work and just another adventure that He has in store. And that is truly a blessing!

We do have ultrasound pictures at 8 weeks but our scanner isn't working - so as soon as I get those things scanned in I will post them.

In a couple of days I will officially be 15 weeks along...boy has the time flown by and yet not gone fast enough. I was pretty sick from week 5 until week 12 and now am just sick occasionally. There were days when I didn't know how I was going to make it and days where I made Garrett go to the store and buy me poptarts and a block of cheese. None of the holidays were great because it was all I could do from running to the bathroom...but there is always next year!

I haven't had too many cravings. But here is a list of things I can't stand: chicken, broccoli, carrots, some other veggies, mint gum, the smell of coffee, oatmeal of any kind, noodles, and pretty much anything that I think smells funny. Things I LOVE: pizza, pizza bites, pizza bagel bites, breadsticks dipped in pizza sauce, pepperoni lean pockets, Arby's Roast Beef Juniors, and cereal.

As soon as I remember to have Garrett take a picture of me, I'll post the little belly I have.

I think that's it for now!
