The Story About When I Got Pregnant

First off this was totally an unplanned pregnancy and definitely unexpected! Before I knew I was pregnant I noticed quite a bit of changes going on with my body. The first thing I noticed was my boobs. They miraculously became 1 cup size bigger which seemed like they went from small to BIG over night. They also became very sore and tender. My head was constantly aching. I was always extremely tired all the time and had no motivation to get up and do anything. My mood completely changed I was very moody. I went from happy to sad to angry in less then 5 minutes. I also noticed that my stomach always looked bloated. Since I noticed that all these weird changes were happening with me I decided that I should probably go to the drugstore and get 2 pregnancy tests. When I got back from the store I opened the box went into the bathroom and did my business. 5 seconds after peeing on the pee stick the results quickly showed that I was indeed pregnant. "My first reaction was Holy S**t this can't be right this really can't be." (BTW my boyfriend was in the bathroom with me to see what the verdict was)I remember getting hot and sweaty and thinking to myself what the heck is everyone going to think of this? Mind you I am 22 years old and I'm not a teenager anymore but I still worried how my parents would react and how Ryan's parents would also. I told Ryan that I was going to take the other one in the morning just to be sure. He seemed pretty cool and content with the thought of me being pregnant so he tried to calm me down about it. So the next morning I took the test again and right away i see the 2 read lines indicating that I was definitely pregnant. This time I freaked out again and then eventually came to terms with it. It's not that I was unhappy to find out that I was pregnant but just the fact that I wasn't expecting to have one this soon and this young. I didn't feel like I was ready to be a mommy. I still at times feel like i'm not ready. To be honest I've always felt super awkward around kids. If I saw a little kid run in my direction I'd go the opposite way. I tried to avoid little kids at all costs because I felt uncomfortable around them especially when their in the process of beginning to talk but you can't understand one word that comes out of their mouth? If a little kid would talk to me I would have no clue what to say to them I just be thinking to myself that "I don't know what Bahboo Wooboo Wee Whoo means? "Please go away" Don't get me wrong I think kids are adorable and so cute but I just never really been or wanted to be around kids a whole lot. Now that I am pregnant I started to make myself interact with kids a little more. Watch how they act and play. I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable around them and at ease and I can definitely see how blessed people are to have a child and the joy that they can bring to you. Minus the crying the pooping and the peeing and then having to clean up after them. Anyways back to finding out I was pregnant. We went to a Womens Care Center the next day to see how far along I was. We went in and I had to take a pregnancy test for the third time. The women that was there called us back into one of the rooms and asked us a bunch of questions. Asked who Ryan was? Was it planned? Are you going to get married eventually? Do you both have jobs? When was last period? ect. She pulled out a card that had a little wheel on it and confirmed to me that I was about 6 weeks along and that they predict my due date would be October 8th 2013. After leaving there I became more excited about my pregnancy and it just seems so surreal to know you have a living human being inside of you. I can say that this has been a pretty extraordinary journey. Theres def been ups and downs but knowing so far that my pregnancy is going well and there haven't been any complications has made me feel very blessed. All I want is to have a happy and healthy baby! I can't wait to meet him! -Lindsey:)
