Finding out I was pregnant was a surprise for us! But that is the way we wanted--to just happen naturally, in its own time, without feeling like we planned the whole thing out. I found out in late March, and I was about 5 weeks along. We're very excited...and nervous...and anxious...and scared...and happy...and every other emotion you could think of. Tom has been amazing through the whole thing and he does a ton for me! He will be a fantastic father.
Weeks 1-14 have been pretty smooth. I felt "yucky" a lot, but wasn't very sick. Really, really tired though! I quickly got used to taking naps every day after work. We've been to the doctor twice, once at around 10 weeks, and again at 12 weeks. At the 10 week appointment, we tried to get the heartbeat on the doppler, but weren't able to. We did hear movement though, so that was a little reassuring! They scheduled us to come back in a couple weeks, and at that appointment we were able to hear the heartbeat. It was amazing! Nice and strong at 160 beats per minute. I go back every 4 weeks for a while, and the waiting is hard. It feels like forever in between each appointment! But the midwives have said that everything looks and sounds great, I'm measuring just how I should be and all is well. So we are very thankful for that.
