We just found out that I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First off, you know I had my gallbladder removed 2.5 weeks ago, and when I had the surgery they did a blood test and said I wasn't pregnant....well, turns out I was - about 12 hours pregnant so it didn't show up. (I'm guessing I was about 12 hours pregnant cuz that's the only time we had sex for about a week before my surgery!)
SO - I went to the doctor yesterday and since we're not sure of the due date becasue my cycle is so screwy, I'll have an early sonogram in 2 weeks. She felt the little bean in me!  Also, she took 9 viles of blood (I about passed out), to check my HCG levels since I was on all those pain killers and everything - kinda scary. But she thinks everything should be ok. I have to be retested tommorrow to make sure the levels doubled. So I'll keep you all informed!
I knew I was pregnant - my boobs are KILLING me, even the water in the shower hurt. And they are bigger - yay! And - I was SO nausous a few nights ago and I thought I had a migraine all night....and the past few mornings I've had the worst stomach ache and D. So I think I'm about 2.5 weeks right now, and I should be due around Christmas! Crazy huh?? So keep me in your thoughts that this goes smoothly, I'm so scared and so excited at the same time. I'll be crying one second and jumping up and down the next. My family is so excited. It is just is amazing - it hasn't completely 'clicked' with me yet....it's just so emotional when it actually happens. So many things go through your head right away.
It's funny....we've been really trying for over a year...and this month we tried NOT to because of my surgery. God has a way of telling me who's in charge I guess
I'm so happy!

Hi Cara,
Congratulations!!! That is amazing news!!
It is so ironic that it was when you stopped trying that voila, BABY!
I am so happy for you, I'll bet when you get a sonogram and all that it will really sink in more for you.
Let us know how all your tests go and everything, and don't forget to take pictures of your growing belly over the next few months!!
Congrats again, I am so happy for you!
**hugs**

Congrats!! I think we got cut off on the phone yesterday but I wanted to let you know to expect a book in the mail! I ordered you The girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy! I LOVe this book! I think its a riot! I think any first time expectant mommy should read it! So, its on its way!
As for the boobs, I hear ya sister! Mine would hurt SO bad, I had to start sleep in a sports bra! Go to target or somewhere cheap and get some sports bra's and TRUE drawstring pants. By TRUE drawstring pants, I mean NO elastic in the front! Target has some cute ones on sale right now! I found that I got even more bloated (didn't think that was possible  ) when I was pregnant.
The emotional rollercoatser isn't fun, I was the same way, laughing one second and balling my eyes out the next, poor Will couldn't keep up! LOL!! I was NOT rational about anything. And the SMELLS, OMG, I swear I could smell a mouse fart three counties away! HEHE!! I had to stop feeding the cats because there food would make me gag! I couldn't eat anything unless I smelled it first and it didn't turn my tummy! But, I'll gladly do it all again!!! Hopefully, I'll only be a month or two behind you!
Keep us posted on your testing! Lots of Love and Hugs!

That's just wonderful news! I know how it goes with the boobs. That and the nausea will likely ease in say oh, 10 weeks!???! Get yourself some ginger root for the nausea. Slice the size of a quarter in a mug of boiling water. It really helped me a lot. Don't worry about the painkillers. The implantation doesn't even take place till like what? 10 days after sex? That means baby wasn't even hooked up to your system when you were taking the most painkillers.
