Becoming a Mom Part 2

Thursday, August 29, 2024

I can still remember the day I found out that I was pregnant. I guess I should say the morning...


The night before I was telling my husband that I was one day late for my period, which that isn't that bad. But my husband made the comment saying that I was pregnant. Me, I doubted it. Just because I was a day late didn't mean anything yet! I thought it would be too early to take a test. 

Sure enough the next morning I wanted to take a pregnancy test. My husband wasn't up yet so as soon as I saw the faint second line, what do you think I did? I snapped a picture to my friends! HA. I know, not what I thought I would have done. Now, why did I send to them first? Well all of them have had kid(s) and taken pregnancy tests before. Me? I have never. So I had to ask them if I was seeing things! 

After them confirming to seeing a faint line, I was ecstatic and woke up my husband with a pregnancy test in his face! We had our first positive pregnancy test! This also meant, the nerves started to go crazy. Had to call the doctor to make an appointment, make sure I had prenatal vitamins, get enough sleep, and not stress out! 


I got my first positive pregnancy test on September 15th, 2023. We had our first doctor appoint on October 6th to confirm that I was pregnant. Then we had out first ultrasound on October 10th and we we so excited to see our baby. However, before we got to see our baby, the tech showed us that I had an cyst on one of my ovaries. This was not how we wanted to start our appointment. After she showed us the cyst, she moved to show up our tiny little embryo. Now, this should have been a sweet and joyful moment. However my husband and I were so worried and scared what the cyst meant. Obviously the tech did not share any information on what that meant and what could happen. So my husband and I were left with so many questions and negative thoughts in our minds. We were so quiet while we waited on the doctor to come in. 

When we finally got to talk to the doctor, he assured us that the cyst is nothing to be concerned about right now. That it can go away or shrink on its own. That it would be something to watch and check on at our next ultrasound appointment. 


Other news, our baby was measuring 7W4D, which was about a week off than we thought. We had a sweet little baby growing. Such a special moment for us that we got to see our baby 5 days before our second year wedding anniversary.

We go to see our baby less than a month later, on November 6th. By this point, I was having so many food aversions. I could not stand chicken! And this is a lot for me to say! I am a primarily chicken eater. I began to not want much meat, I do not know how my husband and I even ate during this time. I was craving sweets so much and that was want I ate a lot of, and bread!
