We’re pregnant! 4 and a half weeks to be exact. We’re not telling many people yet, since it’s still so early, which is REALLY difficult! We are so happy and excited!
We found out 3 days ago with a home pregnancy test. It felt totally surreal for the first few days, and it feels slightly less surreal now that we’ve told our parents (who were the most excited I’ve ever seen them, which is another story unto itself)… but still I wonder if I’m going to wake up and it was all a dream. I guess when I start to get the baby belly it will feel more real!
I’ve been reading like crazy on the internet about the development of the baby day by day, and according the one online pregnancy calendar, today the baby’s neural tube forms, the heart begins to form, and blood begins to circulate! That’s so amazing! I only found out 3 days ago that I am pregnant, and already all of this is happening inside of me. They call it the miracle of life for a reason I guess!
I haven’t had any morning sickness yet or anything like that… but I’m mentally preparing myself for it. I’m kind of freaked out about that. I hate throwing up. Although maybe I won’t have any at all! That would be great!
One more thing – baby names… of course I’ve been thinking about them since I was like 10. Currently we really like Isaac for a boy, and Evelyn for a girl. I also really like Beatrice and Isabella for girls, but I have to work on getting Chris to like those ones too.
