How does one year creep, & fly by so quickly & yet be full of so many new experiences. June 23rd, 2008--was the day I took my first pregnancy test, ever. As a woman this was a life changing event for me. First, if it was negative I would have been sad for the life that I thought that we created but didn't come to fruition. OR I could have been happy for an amazing journey that we were about to beckon on. The latter came true.
I won't forget where I was, what we had just done, how I felt buying the test kit & all the overwhelming thoughts after seeing the positive test. The days that followed were immediately tiring, emotional, & tiring. As the weeks past & to what we thought were normal blood testing, truly wasn't. In retrospect, I see it was more out of concern from the doctors, as I truly know now, my HcG levels weren't climbing as much as they should have been. All I knew was that I felt pregnant. Life was blooming inside of me. By the end of July it was determined that it actually wasn't & so the birth of this blog began.
I didn't know where to go with all the thoughts, feelings I had. I had a tremendous support of people around me, but was having a hard enough time wrestling w/the emotions on my own, w/my husband. I really didn't have many words to say initially. I mostly just remember going to bed crying, getting up to cry...as time passed it did get a little easier, but still remains all so close to my heart.
Now, as we approach our due date with this baby, my heart still fragile--I still desperately pray that this is a healthy baby.
