And so it begins...

David & I are pregnant!!! 

We will have "Baby Norvell" on June 8, 2011!!

We went off birth control in the end of August and I was thinking that it would take until October for the birth control to leave my system but nope, not at all! Something about those Norvell men, they're very fertile! ;)

Last week, I was very emotional, crying about such little things that my friends told me to take a pregnancy test. I had an old test in my medicine drawer and took it on Sunday and it came out positive! No, this isn't right, maybe it's expired!  I drove over to Dollar General down the street and picked up their store brand of tests that came with 2 in the pack. Driving back, my face lit up. What if I am pregnant? Smiling, I went back into my house and peed on the 2nd stick......positive.....and just for fun, I took the 3rd stick the next morning....still positive....David and I looked at each other. The line was faint but there was definitely a second pink line on that Result Screen.

The next morning, I went grocery shopping and decided to pick up one of the "more expensive" tests due to my sister's advice. Again, I went home, unpacked my groceries, got a snack (because I have been sooo hungry lately) and took the test. At that moment, David got home from work. We watched as the lines turned positive right before our eyes. The line is faint again. We called David's dad (an OBGYN) and he said to wait until I've missed my period and retake it on Wednesday.

Well, as of yesterday.....no period and still positive. This makes 5 positive pregnancy tests so I'm guess we're pregnant! Ha! I've made my appointment with a local doctor for next Friday and I'll see what she says. It's been so fun to watch David in this process. He's so excited and after I sent him a picture of our 2 "expensive" texts lined up together and both positive, he forwarded the message to all of his close friends and family. He looked at me with dreamy eyes and couldn't stop smiling. I'm so in love with him! <3

And the best part is that I know he's going to be supportive. This morning, I woke up at 6 a.m. feeling so nauseous that I couldn't sleep. David felt me wrestling with my covers and put his arm out for me to come and snuggle. Still sick an hour later, he put "Private Practice" (yay, Netflix!) on and we watched an episode until he had to go to work.

Which brings us to now....it all begins.....sickness that is....

According to the websites, I should not be sick yet but I guess I always do everything faster than other people. I cannot shake this sick feeling. Luckily we have an abundance of water, saltines and toast, which is all that I've consumed today. But I understand that it won't last forever, just a couple of weeks, months and according to the books, I should feel great by the 2nd trimester in December....

And so it begins....I'm so ready! :-)
