If you are reading this you already know that we are pregnant again! We are very excited, and a little nervous too :) We found out on July 15. It's hard to believe we've already been pregnant (and known about it) for over a month! I wish I had some cute story about how I told Brad, but no. I was having a pain on my left side (the side my ectopic pregnancy had been on) so I (being the worrier that I am) asked Brad if I should take a pregnancy test just to feel better. He said "Sure, but it'll be negative". So I take the test & it has the faintest line. So I go into the living room with a scared look on my face saying "Do you see a line?" He looks at me like I'm crazy & gives me a skeptical look. (In his defense he thought the line had to be as dark as the control line). So we go out & buy one of the more expensive early testing pregnancy tests & it was definitely positive! Disclaimer: I DID want to be pregnant again, I was just afraid of having another ectopic, so I was much more excited/relieved when we found out it was not another ectopic. Also, did everyone see that I was right & Brad was wrong...it doesn't happen much but I enjoy when it does :)
So, I had a total of 4 blood draws over the course of 2 weeks (longest 2 weeks EVER) which showed my numbers at least doubling like they should. Then we had our first ultrasound on July 28:
Okay, so you can't see much, but it's not another ectopic!
We got to see the little heartbeat!
We are pretty amazed at how God creates new life. We all started out as just a little blob! We are trying to just take things one day at a time & be thankful for what we have now. P.S. I don't think most posts will be this long...I was just trying to get caught up :)
