For the past little while I have been EXHAUSTED...every task, whether great or small, seemed like such a chore...and I seriously had to think if certain things were worth doing or not...or if I had enough in me to get it done. As a result, my house hasn't been the tidiest....floors went a little too long without being washed...the dishes in the sink piled up...groceries were sparse at times...the dust was making itself at home...and the laundry piles were bigger than they had ever been.
But, even though it may appear that I'm was doing nothing (because all I wanted to do was sleep all day)...I was actually REALLY hard at work....my body was building a BABY!!!
Wes and I found out on Valentines day that we were going to have an amazing addition to our current family of two. The only pregnancy symptom I really noticed was that I was SO TIRED...like always feeling wiped out. I attributed it to other reasons: maybe I didn't a good of sleep as I thought I did, maybe I'm coming down with something... (that's all I could think of). The thought of pregnancy did cross my mind, but I didn't really want to focus on that and risk getting my hopes up for nothing. Wes suspected that I was...he kept asking me...I kept telling him "I don't think so....I don't feel pregnant"....he would respond, "how do you know how it feels to be pregnant? You've never been pregnant before...". He would ask me this every other day.
So, Valentines day....my energy level had not increased... I took a 2 hour nap after we ate breakfast because I was absolutely exhausted. After the nap, I decided to give it a whirl...the test will either be - or +, but at then at least I'll know for sure.
Much to my surprise....TWO lines quickly appeared!!! TWO LINES = PREGNANT!!!!! I started jumping up and down, screaming a little bit, and crying (I have come to find that there are many more of those tears to follow...my lucky husband).
Wes and I are SO HAPPY!!!! We can't wait to have a little Wes/Amanda running around. I am currently 3.5 months along...and am due on October 20, 2009. YIPEEE!!!
