Next Big Adventure!!!

11/18/14

Yesterday marked the beginning of our next big adventure, and I want to tell the whole world! That's right, Garrett and I are going to be PARENTS!!! (when did I become old enough for this?) I'm writing this today while I still have all these thoughts in my head, and so that I can have somewhere to let out my excitement. Otherwise, I'll spill the beans about our little bean to everyone...

Taken the day we found out we were expecting baby #1!

We have felt such an outpouring of love from our Heavenly Father these last few months and are so
excited to have an addition to our little family. 

So, some details then....

When did I find out? 

Yesterday...or November 17th. I wasn't expecting it to happen this soon, but we knew it could. We are overjoyed at the news (maybe a little terrified too). 

When is the due date? 

Right now, I would be considered about 4 weeks along. My due date is set for July 26th. 

What has surprised me the most? 

I really did not feel like I could be pregnant, and was ready to read a negative result. BAM, shocker! I am also finding it really hard to process, I still don't believe it. After I found, it was like "Okay, now what". Haha.

Symptoms? 

I am only a few weeks along, so most of my symptoms have been pretty subtle. Before I found out I was pregnant I did notice that I had a metallic taste in my mouth, I have had some definite tenderness and soreness (ladies you understand what I'm talking about), I will get a heat flash every now and again, and a more sensitive nose. Recently I've had some slight cramping in my pelvis. I am also bloated, but whats new about that. No severe nausea only some slight when I get too hungry...but again that's pretty typical. At this point, it's hard to know what are real symptoms and what is me just overthinking haha.
