We found out we were expecting our first little one in very early March. The morning before we found out, I was with my family and my brother asked me if I was pregnant. I told him no, but then I started to wonder. When I got home the next day, I just decided to take a home pregnancy test. I hadn't missed my period yet and the only thing that was even the slightest bit weird was how tired I had been lately. The test was positive! I couldn't believe it. We had only been trying for one month and wham we were pregnant! I woke my husband up (who worked third shift at the time) and showed him the test. It took him a moment and then the light went on: a smile slowly crept along his face. He wanted to know for sure so we made an appointment ment for about an hour later to have a clinic run a pregnancy test. They said we were about 4 weeks when we found out.
We talked about our prenatal provider a lot and decided to go with a homebirth midwife. I found ours about 2 weeks later and we have been going to her ever since. I have run into a lot of criticism for our decision to do a homebirth because it is not a mainstream choice.
We are currently 16 weeks pregnant and I am barely showing! We find out the sex of the baby in 4 weeks and I really, really, really cannot wait!!!
