Well, Happy New Year!

So on New Years day I took the 3rd of 4 pregnancy tests to reveal - Im pregnant! Im as surprised as anyone because Josh and I have tried everything to avoid getting pregnant. No car and living at moms doesnt make for an ideal baby raising enviorment. We were planning to move around April, so this was a quick motivator. Either way, we decided to keep it. It feels meant to be, with as many precautions as we took - here it is.
I just dont want to be labeled as irresponsible or any other ugly word that goes with a young woman's pregnancy. Im married, 22 years old, and as ready as anyone could be. Sure were not financially rich, but there are some people worse off than us with 2 or more kids - im sure we can handle one!

Were both a little scared and a bit excited. Were just in shock. I cant believe by this time next year, we will have a child. Its an exciting thought!

So here we are, January 5th, and I am up from the nausea and back pain. Normally I sleep during the afternoon and work at night. But I couldnt fall asleep today, and when I did it was for 3 hours. I woke up to feeling like my stomach is eating my insides and once I got down some crackers the nausea came back! Now it wont let me sleep. Which lead me to this...

Im so early in the pregnancy I want to have something to remember it by. I want to look back and remember how I felt. So Im doing this blog for myself, our baby, and all who read this. I hope those who read it are friends and family interested in the progression of our little bundle in the oven.

I am heading to the County Health department tomorrow for temporary medicaid and my first check up. We will see just how far along I am as well. Im nervous that now that we have decided to start this family something will happen. Apart of me is nervous those tests were false positives. Stupid I know - but for some reason now that its happening Im ready. And I hope it all works out.

Thanks for reading and check in soon
