Baby Aston

Meet Baby Aston! Finally after 1.5 years and with the help of an eight dollar pill called Clomid...we are pregnant!
I didn't think it would work. I google the chances and it only increased the chances of pregnancy by 29% instead of 24%. I thought well I did that for nothing! I waited and waited and had signs that I wasn't pregnant. I was so upset and didn't think I could deal with whatever the next step would be. The next morning I went to the gym and ran my usual 3 miles. Afterwards I decided to go to the dollar store and buy some more pregnancy test cause I was going need them for who knows how many more months. I got home to shower and go to my hair appointment. I decided to take a test. I have no idea why. Maybe cause it would be 1 dollar wasted. Then...immediately a faint, faint faint line popped up. My sister Stephenie called me right then and I told her and started to tear up. I told her I had to call Jarom. I sent him the picture but he didn't believe it. I told him a line is a line and it means positive. I know cause I ran at least 5 test a day x 3 days per week x 5 years. I know what a line is. I told Jarom I'd go pay for a digital test.
Three hours later after my hair was finished I went and bought a pack of 3 digital test to find out for sure. I came home and read the directions on this fancy test. I tested and.... ERROR! What?! I had just emptied my bladder. "I can't wait another 20 min to go again"! So I made myself go with pure determination. Success! 5 min later.....



I sent Jarom the picture and called him. We couldn't believe it. I found out 1.5 weeks after implantation. We had been in the mode of "when we get pregnant" for so long that it was weird to change our new conversations to "when the babies born".
I am now 14 weeks. I have had only a little nausea but not enough to make me vomit. I've dry heaved maybe 5 times. One episode was my fault cause I waited too long after breakfast to take my prenatals. My biggest complaint is being exhausted but I'm doing much better now. Also I've gained 10lbs! Ahh! Everyone else vomits a loses but not me. I am grateful pregnancy hasn't been bad so far. I've had a few other pregnancy symptoms but I'll spare the details.
I've had to also do a lot of praying with this pregnancy and my nerves. I don't know if it's cause I'm an ER nurse but anything can happen. I've seen a lot of anythings. I was so afraid I wouldn't get through this first trimester cause I want this baby so bad. With a lot of prayer and truly trying to understand that I have no control over anything in this life, I've managed to let go and try to enjoy this period in my life. I guess I worry a lot. Poor Jarom.
I feel very blessed I was even able to get pregnant in the first place cause I just didn't know if that was possible. Jarom and I are both very excited for the next step in our lives.
