My pregnancy
My name is Michelle, I’m 24 and this is the beginning of my amazing nine month journey into pregnancy. It was April 30, 2010, when I took my second pregnancy test that revealed a positive result and that would change my lifestyle choices in the following months.
Even before I took the pregnancy test, I had a good feeling that I was pregnant because all of a sudden my breasts got fuller, I was dehydrated every morning and I was always extremely hot. My husband was ecstatic and very proud and even though this was a planned pregnancy, he was definitely surprised. From the beginning I’ve been stressed because I was unsure how this pregnancy was going to turn out since I’ve had 2 consecutive miscarriages prior to this baby, so I’ve been on edge.
That changed this past week when I had a vaginal ultrasound that showed the baby at his/her estimated size and a heartbeat, which just brought so much relief to me. We are hoping for another boy so that our 2 1/2 yr. old son, Israel, will have a little buddy to play with but at this point I’ll just take whatever the good Lord blesses us with.
