Our little miracle

Well I can't believe that I am posting this, but after a trip to the doctors this morning I left with confirmation that I am in fact pregnant!!

It still feels like a dream, I just cannot believe that we are finally pregnant!


So let me tell you how we came to find this out...


My period was about a week late but I thought it was just because I had had surgery and that may have put a little bump in the road and delayed it a bit.
Than on Saturday Johnny, Jakson and myself were out shopping and we had lunch at the food court. I had one of my favs, spinach and pumpkin gnocchi and was feeling really queasy when I finished it. I've never felt sick after eating it before so that kind of got me thinking that maybe my period wasn't just late, maybe it wasn't coming at all!

I started thinking about all the other pregnancy symptoms that I had put down stress or because of the surgery. As I have had these thoughts (over analysing symptoms) before I quickly pushed them out of my head.

Than driving home we were sitting at the traffic lights and I quickly had to grab a travel sick bag as I was about to throw up. That got me thinking even more that just maybe it might be real symptoms.

We went and did some grocery shopping and when we got home I found a pregnancy test my sister had given me. I had just put it in the cupboard (thinking I would never see those two positive lines on it) and I thought what they hell, might as well do it.

So I did the test and those two lines came up immediately, I have never ever been so shocked in my life! I just started screaming for Johnny to come.
He came running to the toilet thinking I saw a spider and I started waving the test at him saying 'look at this, look at this' the poor thing had no idea what I was waving at him, lol
So I told him that it's a positive pregnancy test!!

I grabbed the box and checked the use by date of the test, it was still well within the use by date.

We were both so scared that it was a false positive. We went straight down to the supermarket and bought 2 more boxes of tests (3 more tests in total) on the way home I kept saying to myself, please be able to wee, please wee LOL

Got home as I sat on the toilet urging my body to pee, I've never wanted to be able to pee so much as that moment than :)

So I finally did the three new tests and they all came back positive, we were stunned, shocked, scared, elated, excited...so many things


We weren't sure if we should tell Jakson or not, we weren't sure if we should tell anyone.
But I knew I had to tell someone and said to Johnny that I wanted to go over to my sisters and tell her.

We excitedly drove over to her house and told her our good news, the look on her face was like she had seen a ghost! She started shaking and screaming, Johnny grabbed her 2months old daughter that she was holding cause he thought se was going to drop her! lol

Once she finally calmed down and we were able to tell her we're not joking the look of joy was unforgettable

We had said that we were going to wait until after seeing the doctor to tell anyone else but Johnny said that we had told my little sis, so we had to tell my mum and big sis too.

We all went over to mums and my little sister secretly video taped me telling mum. I have not seen my mum jump up like that in my life! lol
And the hug, I think I'm still hurting from being hugged so tightly.

On the car ride over to my big sisters house we decided that we would tell Jakson and he can tell his aunty and cousins.
We got to her house but she wasn't home :( it was so hard not to tell her over the phone, but I knew I wanted to see the look on her face.


Back at home we sat down with Jakson and told him he was going to be a big brother! He was so excited that he jumped up and did a happy dance, lol

He had so many questions for us and just kept telling us how happy he is to be a big brother and how it was his little sister in my tummy ♥

I asked him if he wanted to go see his aunty and tell her and he was very excited to do that.

So we got in the car again, I was already feeling exhausted from all the driving and telling people but off we went to her house again.

This time we knew she was on her way home but Jakson couldn't hold it in and told his older cousin who was home. Than as soon as my sister pulled up in the drive way Jakson ran out and said "I have some exciting news, mummy has a baby in her tummy"
My sister stood there frozen just looking at me for confirmation, when I smiled and said it's true she ran and hugged me :)


It was so good to be able to see all the reactions of our family, when we were pregnant with Jakson we rang everyone to tell them so this time it was different.


I just couldn't hold it in anymore and tried to contact a good friend but her phone wasn't working so I had to wait for her to jump on FB to get my message. I just sat there refreshing the page every 15 seconds until I saw I had a message back from her, lol

Once I had told her I than jumped onto the parenting forum that has given me so much support, advice and help over the years and posted that I was in fact pregnant and that it had all happened naturally...no drugs, injections and no IVF....completely naturally!


Both Johnny and I were so overwhelmed with the number of replies we got on there to our announcement, we are very touched that so many people took the time to congratulate us :)


On Sunday Johnny rang his family and told them and that I posted it on FB and once again the replies blew us away!

My phone did not stop ringing and getting message, I still don't know if I have replied to everyone LOL


Yesterday (Monday) I went to the doctors and had my blood test and than today I got the results that my hormone level is perfect for my gestation.

I'm still not sure what my due date is, I forgot to as the doctor but it is in late June sometime which makes me about 5 weeks pregnant.


To say we are overjoyed is an understatement, it's still so hard to believe that after three and a half years and many drugs, injections and IVF..we have fallen pregnant naturally ♥♥♥
