About Pregnant Me
My name is Wendy and I am 29 years old. My Soul mate Trevor and I were married on May 28 2004. I have been struggling with weight loss for a long time now. To read my weight loss story go here. Recently my weight loss story has been put on hold as has my Weight Watcher's membership. On Dec 28 2005 Trevor and I found out that we are expecting our first baby! I will never forget the day! There were so many tears of happiness and excitement in the house that day! Here is the story:
Trevor and I had been contemplating when we were going to try and conceive. We were married in May 04 and as soon as we were married the questions started. So when are you going to have a baby? We talked about it and new we wanted to but we wanted to wait a little while and enjoy being husband and wife! Well around Aug of 05 we started to think more seriously about it and I decided to go see my doctor to have a check up and ask him what we needed to do to get ready if we wanted to try and conceive in Jan 06. So I had all my shots and check ups and everything looked good.
In October of 05 Trevor and I got to talking and he just said to me "What are we waiting for?" "Let's just start as soon as we can". We new it might take months if not years and we decided for me to see my doctor and to find out the next steps. So on Halloween I stopped taking my birth control pills and all other medications (like my Prozac I take 3 days a month for pms) and I started on a prenatal multi-vitamin. I also dropped my consumption of alcohol which I did very infrequently anyways. I had a glass of wine at a few Christmas parties and that what it. At the end of November my first period came and went. We were not really disappointed as we were not expecting it this soon anyways. My next period was due on Dec 27, which we new was Christmas Day at my in laws. Trevor said to me we should get Christmas cards for our parents that said Grandma and Grandpa just in case. I told him there was no way we were pregnant yet! Well Dec 27 came and went and no period (I checked every hour to be sure!), so on the morning of the 28 we bought a First Response test and then waited to see if my period showed up. By mid afternoon there was nothing so I went to the bathroom by myself (not thinking I was pregnant) and I did the test and looked at the clock for 3 minutes and then looked at the test. At first I saw 1 line because that is what I thought I would see. I am thinking "I new I wasn't pregnant! But then I looked to the left and there was this other line getting darker by the second! I jumped up and went into the other room to get Trevor. He was having a nap and I woke him up and he looked at me and said I told you that you were pregnant! We were both afraid to get excited just in case I screwed up the test so we went back to Wal-Mary and bought the 2 pack of clear blue! We both sat in the washroom this time and we were both expecting to see 1 line but nope there were two! We were both so happy!
After the holidays I went back to weight watchers on Jan 3 and told the girls that I was taking 9 months off! They were all so excited for me and told me to bring my mom and aunt once in while to come in and say hello. I talked to me leader Gail and she put my membership on hold until October. I will return in October!
I am now trying to gain weight but not too fast! This is a completely foreign concept to me! I must now eat when I am hungry to fend off the all day nausea! And now snacking on some carrots does not do it!
I look forward to sharing my thoughts and feelings of being pregnant and trying to make my weight go in the opposite direction with out gaining 65 pounds!
For now I am doing what is necessary for me and the bub. I'll get back to my weight loss afterwards.
