Being pregnant..

Not my favorite thing in the world. At least not for about the first 4 months, then I was wondering what I had given myself into.. Nausea 24hours per day and throwing up every now and then. Blah my least favorite thing in the world! And then the tiredness and just feeling bloated and fat. It was tough to be at work when I had a nose like a hunting dog. Poop, throw up and old people. Smelly! Yes everything seemed to trigger my nausea. I couldn't cook for those months. I couldn't even go into the kitchen because it smelled. Poor Markku needed to get things out of the fridge for me. He's been a true champion this whole time. Being there for me. I love him so.

After 3,5-4 months the SPD (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction) came along. It was pretty painful and I was wondering if I would be able to work. But then after a few weeks it took off, thanks heavens!

Now I feel much better. Of course some days I do feel nauseous still and the SPD does kick in if I don't take it easy. But I feel soooooo much better! Loving trimester #2 compared to #1.

Life as we knew it changed over 5 minutes..

Who whould think that peeing in a cup, dipping a stick and waiting for 5 minutes could change our lives as we know it for ever?

- One cold evening, more specifically on january 31st, it was time to take the test. I had been feeling a little different the past few days and my period was late. It had been late before though and I didn't want to get my hopes up just yet. Two lines.
- The next morning, Febuary 1st. Two lines.
- Two mornings later, Febuary 3rd. Yet another test with two lines. Hmm. Two lines all three times... Didn't believe it at first. It took three tests for us to actually realise it :)

Yes, the tests came back positive! We are going to be parents! Whoop whoop!
