7 1/2 weeks

I am starting this a little late, so I will catch everyone up! I found out I was pregnant on Thursday, September 30th.
The only reason I took the test, was because in the past whenever I took one I would always start my cycle. I was a couple of days late, and frustrated. I took the test while I was getting ready for work. When I came back, I just glanced at it and said, its negative. Then I did a double take and saw a very faint positive line!! I was hysterical!! I started crying and called Levette right away. He asked what was wrong, and through the tears I said that I had taken another test. He said, I told you to quit getting so upset, its ok. And I was like NO!! ITS POSITVE!! Levette was shocked and told me to call the dr. Of course the doctor's office wasn't open at 7am.
I called Jennifer and Jeanette with my great news and they were sooooo happy. They knew how long and how badly I wanted this. I didn't want to tell anyone else, just in case. But I couldn't keep it in. I sent mom a text of the the test and said Happy Early Birthday. She thought it was negative. When I told her it was positive, she said PRAISE THE LORD! I told her not to tell anyone, but she didn't listen! The whole family knew by lunch! I called the dr and made an appointment for the following Tuesday. Dad didn't believe mom, so I had to take him the test. Levette's mom doesn't believe it either.
So, on Friday, I told everyone via Facebook. I took another test, again it was positive. I was thrilled and in shock.
On Tuesday, October 5th, I went for my first appointment. Dr. Stephen confirmed that I was 5 weeks pregnant. They scheduled my first ultrasound for October 19th and gave me a due date of June 8th (Nana had already told me June2).
I went for the first ultrasound on the 19th.
It was so amazing to see and hear the heartbeat. I teared up, as did Levette, but he said he had something in his eye. lol. It was so awesome to finally get to see our little miracle. God had blessed us way more than we had ever imagined. They told me I was 7 weeks and 3 days, so 3 days more than what the doctor had guessed. We used a pregnancy calendar and saw our conception date was September 11th. The new due date is June 4th. And the heart rate was 156.85bpm.
I haven't had any sickness at all. Just a few headaches the first week (that I didn't know I was pregnant) and being really tired. My clothes are already tight around my lower belly, but I don't mind. I have craved pancakes, but I am not sure if that was the pregnancy or just me, lol. I haven't been able to wear contacts because my eyes are so dry and my vision actually got a little better.
So, I think that catches us up. I will write another post on my story of what I believe is how we received our little miracle. Talk to you soon!!
