The news

I have been alluding to something in my past few posts that I had some news. Well, here it is! I am pregnant! I had my first doctor's appointments last week and found out that I am now 10 weeks along. I found out this news a week after we moved to Indianapolis. Imagine the shock I was feeling with all of the changes from the move, but yet life has a way of working out for the best (or so I believe) and I believe in God and know that humans are not given more than they can handle. I also know what a miracle it is to have gotten pregnant since so many couples are out there struggling trying to conceive.

The feelings and emotions I have been feeling have been so mixed. I've been happy, I've been sad, I've been excited, and I've been scared. The move has taken a lot out of me emotionally. As I said in an earlier post, change is not easy for me and it's been a lot of change in the past month. It's funny for me to look back on my blogs when I wrote about my mom and how they're so great and change and not knowing what my new normal would be once I moved, not knowing at the time that I was pregnant.

I am scared about being a parent, I am nervous that everything is okay with the baby and wonder constantly if I'm doing the right things taking care of myself-am I eating right, getting enough sleep, getting enough exercise? It's one thing when it's my health by not eating right or exercising or sleeping enough, it's another when it's that of my unborn child.

I will try not to turn this into a "pregnancy post" over the next 7 months (estimated due date is June 16th), although this is now what consumes my every thought most days. I think women can understand who have children how you feel once you find out that you are carrying another life inside of you. I already finding myself putting my hand on my belly and talking to the baby and my husband has already called me "Momma Bear."

I've been very fatigued the past couple of months, and now I know why. :)

Life is full of surprises, trust me I know.
