We had an ultrasound today where we saw the tiny little heartbeat and where the doctor confirmed that I'm 7 weeks, 1 day. It was such a relief to know that my hysterical sobbing to First Daughter starring Katie Holmes a few weeks ago was a side effect of increasing hormone levels and not a sign of my losing my mind as I feared. You know the movie I'm talking about...a 25 year old Katie Holmes plays an 18 year old college freshman who just happens to be the President's daughter. Long story short, she falls in love with her R.A. whom she discovers is really a Secret Service Agent hired by her father and thus, the love is predictably, forbidden. Well, I sat on the couch during my son's nap and cried like a little you know what when she discovers who her true love is. Ridiculous, right?
A week or so after that embarrassing display of emotion, I took a pregnancy test, set it aside and picked up my US weekly. Casually, I peered around my magazine and was shocked to see two dark red lines glaring back at me. Needless to say, I was shocked. Being that it took quite some time to get pregnant with my son Trent, not to mention a miscarriage, I couldn't believe that I was pregnant on our first try! Who would have guessed that a whole lot of Miller Lite during a family camping trip would result in our new little peanut? Not us, I can assure you, but we are thrilled!
Now, all I have to do is get through these next few months, all while I attempt to raise a well behaved one and a half year old, find a literary agent who feels as passionately about my novel as I do, keep a clean home and happy husband, and document my pregnancy in this blog. Whew....I'm exhausted already!
Anyhow, we cannot wait to welcome our second little monster on May 7, 2013!
