Oh, baby!!!!

September 13, 2013

This morning, at around 5am, Sergio was getting ready for work...   Wait...   Let's rewind a little.

Earlier this week, I was a little concerned because my (beware: girl talk here) period was pretty much nonexistent.  It was really light & lasted only 2 days.   That's pretty strange for me.  I did feel some cramps and my breasts were feeling extremely sore.  I googled it & some sites said it could be caused by a number of things including stress &/or possibly pregnancy.  I joked around saying I was pregnant.  I mean, I just got married 3 weeks ago!!  What are the odds that it happened that quickly?!
There's a Pay-Per-View fight going on this weekend and we're probably going to be watching it at a friend's house, but last night,  Sergio said that I needed to take a pregnancy test to make sure I wasn't; otherwise, when we go to see the fight, he wouldn't let me drink any alcohol.   I decided to go ahead & purchase a test on the way home from school.  I was going to do the test as soon as I got home.. but the instructions specifically said to do it with the "first urine" of the day.

Okay.. now back to this morning. When Sergio was getting ready for work this morning, I jumped out of bed & went directly to the restroom to pee on the stick.  I then walked out & paced back & forth with our doggies by the dining table, which wasn't too far from the restroom, waiting for the results.  Serg was standing right there in the restroom, looking down at it on the sink.  Then, after a few minutes, he yelled out, "YEEEAAAAHHH!".    I froze & asked, "Oh my gosh.. What?!!"...  I blacked out after that but I think he said something along the lines of "we're having a baby."

I ran over to the restroom, looked at the results on the stick, and then started to cry a little.  He asked if I was sad, & in a faint, shaky voice, I looked up at him & said, "No.  Scared."  Within a few seconds, I calmed down.  With a big smile, Serg kissed me goodbye & left to work.  I then lay down on the bed & couldn't sleep so I texted the news to my two closest friends, Anai & Steph, & then started looking on Amazon for pregnancy workout DVDs & stretch mark creams. 

Since, I've had a couple big cries...  Don't get me wrong.  I'm not sad in the slightest.  I'm just scared.  This is unknown territory for me.   I want to be sure I don't mess up.  I want to eat the right things & read all that I can & be the best mommy.  Even that word "mommy" makes me tear.  I'd like to blame the pregnancy for these sensitive emotions.. but no - That's just me.  And now just think of how much worse it's going to get!!    Maybe I should be more scared for Serg than myself. 

After some time, I decided to get ready for work..  While doing so, Steph texted & asked when I was going to go to a doctor to have it confirmed.  I was able to find a clinic literally down the street from my house..  I gave them a call & went in before I headed off to work.  I walking into the office, filled out a short form, peed in a cup, and two minutes later, they confirmed the news, stating that the test came out "POSITIVE".

Now I have an appointment set up for a week & a half from now to do a thorough check & to determine the due date and all that jazz.  Crazy to think that we just wed three weeks ago!!  I had said that once we get married, we'll have a baby.   I just didn't know it would happen so soon!!! 

I gotta say:  Sergio & I have known each other for over half my life.. & we had many hardships &  reunions..  I never knew how or why it kept happening & where my life was leading to.. but it seems like I can finally see the plan that God had for us all along.  Everyday, I am reminded of what a blessed life I live...  but I am especially reminded today.  

I welcome this new chapter in life with open arms.. 

Oh, baby!! Friday the 13th...  You really threw me for a loop this time.  :)
