Expecting one of our own . . .

Surprise!

The baby God has planned for me and E 
isn't coming from an agency, but from inside of me!

OK, since I've never done this before, and too much of anything is making me sick these days, this will be quick and concise.

1. Are we excited?
1. Absolutely! Ecstatic! If you don't know, we had our hopes placed in adoption and this is such a huge blessing. The weight of it is indescribable.
2. How do I feel?
1. Sick. This thing a size of a lime can make me lose it anytime, anyplace???? Explain this to me.
3. Was this planned?
1. Ha! Is there much in our lives that is? It's more like the unplanned, unprepared, and unbelievable.
4. When am I due?
1. In the spring. "I always wanted to be a June bride, and have a baby right off, in the spring maybe"
2. I don't know. Doc keeps changing her mind. As of today I am 13 weeks 5 days.
5. What are my thoughts about delivery?
1. If I fit within the parameters of low-risk, my ideal birth would be at home, well, a home with a huge jetted tub with just Hubby, midwife, and doula.
2. However, Ethan is justifiably a little nervous about complications and such, so our first will definitely be in a hospital. Natural, but we'll have to see about a tub there.
6. Is it a Boy or Girl?
1. ????
7. 7. How did you find out you were pregnant?
1. I've been going to a chiropractor and while discussing my aches and pains she says, "could you be pregnant?" I say no. Not possible. Well, possible, but no. So I got a hosp test and prepped myself for the all-to-common "negative" over the phone. She said "positive". What? "Positive". Oh. Ok.
8. Did you want to find out the sex?
1. Not sure.  We probably won't for the fun of it, also the frugality to not buy much since we won't know colors etc. Plus I like green W-A-Y over pink or blue.
   
9. Relief?
1. Sleeping, but more specifically having crazy/intensely detailed dreams. If it's illogical and I'm skinny, I know I can relax and not worry about losing my lunch.
2. 1/2 Gatorade/Powerade, 1/2 ice water. First liquid that I can consume at all. And I can do 2 glasses a meal without feeling queasy or losing it later.
10. Favorite parts?
1. My Grandma's reaction, she was so excited for us.
2. Having so many other friends due around my time. I thought I'd never be in "the club" or be able to do "playdates" with them.
3. Having a secret this big.
4. My Grandma made us an exceptionally-adorable (and gender-neutral) baby blanket, just like the ones I had as a baby (and still occasionally sleep with).
5. Getting to have snow/winter for the greater part of this journey. I LOVE Oct-May in Cache Valley!!!!
11. Total weight gain/loss?
• - 20 from pre-conception.
12. Best moment this week?
• Watching the babe kick and squirm through the 12-week (ish) ultra-sound. Little bug's got E's nervous energy!
