I'm pregnant

So I discovered I was pregnant on Friday. Pretty crazy considering we already have 3 kids, I'm going to school full time (I've actually made most of my classes online bc I got sick of the drive, with the exception of one on campus now) and we're adding/remodeling the house beginning in May.

But there was that desire that I thought was long gone. Both of us started desiring to have another child about a month ago. We were going to wait until May to start trying, but we kind of jumped into it thinking it would take a few months. Nope. I'm pregnant. But I'm so early they're watching my hcg levels, as on Friday it was just 10. Tomorrow I take another blood test to see if they have climbed. I'm not even 4 weeks yet, until Tuesday at least.

I've had 2 miscarriages in the past, the last one being 5 years ago next month. 2 preemies and all three I went into premature labor with but put on brethine to extend the pregnancies.

I only told my grandma, both bff's and another friend of mine, besides the kids and hubby of course.

A part of me is leery to share since I've lost 2 before. But I'm also excited and want to share with everyone.

I'm praying this baby will be healthy. That's all I care about.

Hubby told his friend and as soon as he gets back from his weekend biz trip, he'll tell his mom.

I want to surprise my mom at Easter when we go to visit. I plan on putting a copy of the ultrasound in an Easter card and surprising her that way. She'll probably begin to think I have this thing with cards and surprises seeing back in December when I got my accident settlement, I gave her some money for Christmas that solved her bills.

My mom works hard for minimum wage in Nevada at a Casino. She's alone as my dad and her are separated. But her job sucks seeing as she hasn't gotten a wage in at least 3 years and they have no intentions of giving raises out to anyone soon, even though they're taking over some little mini casinos as I call them. Meaning they must have some money somewhere to do that, right??!

She was so emotional, but so happy and so was I. It was the least I could do. I would help her every day if I could.

So anyways, I thought I'd start a little trend with the cards, LOL.

I've kind of forgotten what it's like to be pregnant. My tummy keeps rumbling everytime I eat, I've had little headaches nearly every day for the last 4 days. I'm tired and out of breath with every move I make.

But I loook forward to it all. And I don't plan to take any time off from school for this since most of my classes are online, it makes life much easier for me. The only time I plan on taking off is the week I deliver and that's it. Since I can be at home with the baby and I have the greatest hubby. He was such a help when the others were born.

Well, I'm off for now. I have some homework and a quiz to do.
