We found out October 25th when I was just about 4-5 weeks along. I took the first test and came out to the living room, grabbed riley brought him to the bathroom and cried alot! He took the news far better then me. For reassurance Riley went to the store to fetch some more tests and after 3 positive tests we were pretty positive. Just to be sure Riley took a test as well. Thankfully it came back negative.
We told only our parents right away and tried to keep the secret for as long as possible. News began to leak out a littler faster then we might have liked. And alas, here we are, 11 weeks and two days so here you go world
It was a super scary thought at first. Here we are facing an 18 month deployment separation and I will be on my own for the rest of the pregnancy. So no, for those that were wondering, we weren't really trying and it was by no means planned. But after the initial shock, I've grown to see this baby as a blessing and now feel safely assured that we wont have any problems expanding our family. We are so thankful that all of our family is already signing up to take turns coming down here to help out after Riley leaves again and after the baby is born. Not to mentioned all of our great supportive friends we have made down here. They are like a second, local family to us and we greatly appreciate them all!
It was so nice atleast having Riley here for the beginning to help me through what seems to have been the roughest part so far. Morning Sickness was my enemy for about two solid weeks where I loved off of ginger ale and saltines. (I still have the fridge fully stocked with canada dry)
here is baby M at 9 weeks and 5 days
i am missing riley like crazy and have already started the countdown to (his first) homecoming and we are praying here he will be here for the birth! I am having my moments where my hormones are getting the best of me but with almost one week down Im doing better then expected.
