Baby #1 is on way

Well crazy to think that we are going to have a baby in only a few short months!! Well 6 to be exact but still that will be here before I know it! Preston and I have been together now 7 1/2 years and just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. It really feels like yesterday that we met, time really does fly by. This has been an especially tough year for us (or me) with the diagnosis of my rare skin condition. We both always knew that we wanted to wait a while before we had kids. We had talked last year that maybe we would start trying this year to conceive, thinking that it would take a while for us to get pregnant. I was hoping we would get pregnant quickly so that I could have a baby and start treatment for my condition. Well sure enough first try and we made a baby!!! YIKES was sort of my first reaction, I just couldn't believe that we were really pregnant. I figured it would take months so you can imagine that I was a little freaked out and wasn't sure if I was ready. But after a couple day or so I was fine. One funny thing is that I had actually gone to see a fertility specialist, in case we had trouble getting pregnant they wanted to start me on fertility drugs to speed up the process. Well I didn't need any drugs because I was already prego!! Anyways here is the story of how we found out. It was July 15th and I woke up that morning with the most vivid dream that I was pregnant, I just thought no way it was just a dream and fell back asleep. I woke up again with the same dream and weird feeling- I AM PREGNANT? I was supposed to start my period in a day or so, so I thought well maybe I could be pregnant, I only had one pregnancy test and I sort wanted to wait to see if I started or not but I just couldn't shake this feeling that I was prego. So I took the test and it was NO! Only one line appeared, so I guess it was just a dream. I went down and told Preston and I was a little bummed but just thought oh well we will try again next month. So I got ready for work and sure enough I still couldn't shake the feeling so I went and pulled the test out of the garbage and believe it or not there was a second faint line- WE WERE PREGNANT!! Preston was ready to leave for work, I walked out of the bathroom with tears in my eyes and told him everything. I still didn't believe it so I went later that day bought a couple more tests- all positive, still didn't believe it so I went to the Dr and had my blood drawn. Pregnant, pregnant, pregnant yep we are pregnant. We are so excited, we got to hear the heart beat a couple weeks ago,and that was amazing. I have felt GREAT! I have not been sick at all, most days I still wonder if I am pregnant, other than I can't button my pants. I sailed through my first trimester and am hoping the rest of the pregnancy will be the same. My skin however is not liking the pregnancy, so I am covered in bumps, but I figure I can survive through the bumps for this little baby of mine!! So that is my story long I know so sorry!
