I found out I was pregnant with Brenna on Febuary 14, 2006. I was in class that morning and noticed I was extremely queasy. Just on a whim I bought a pregnancy test. I came home, took the test, and the little plus sign showed up immediately. I was kind of in shock, but I wasn't sad or scared, I was happy. I was obviously nervous, but I was happy too. The first person I told was my friend Amy. I called her and it was one of those, "I can't believe this" moments. Later that evening I called Wyatt at work. How horrible of me...haha! Poor Guy! The next day I went to the health department, and got the for sure, "Yes, you are pregnant!" I was told my due date was October 23, 2006. :-)
We waited a couple days to tell our families. I was scared of what the reactions would be. We were young, and it wasn't an ideal time to have a family. Everyone was happy though. :-)
The morning sickness kicked in right away. It wasn't just morning sickness, it was ALL day, even at night when I was sleeping. It was really hard to work and go to school. I decided to drop my classes, and I started working the bare minimum of hours that I needed too.
At about 7 weeks, I had bleeding. I called the doctor and the nurse said to come to the ER and they would do what they could. The nurse said that more than likely I was having a miscarriage and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. I remember Wyatt and I sitting on the bed. I was crying and he was close to tears. How strange that you can only have something for such a short time, but yet the thought of losing it completely breaks your heart. I think we knew then, how much this little baby meant to us. Our life together was meant to be.
Obviously, we didn't miscarry. The visit to the ER went very good. I was severly dehydrated and a had a bad kidney/UTI infection. We got to have an u/s, and the due date changed to October 19, 2006. Unfortunately, they didn't allow Wyatt to go back, not really sure what the reasoning was. I cried when I saw our baby for the first time. This was real. I was going to be a mother.
