I only began this blog a couple days ago, in hopes for everyone to understand our situation and have the ability to be updated on a regular basis. Well, the thought to begin this only came to my mind once we found out the news........
WE ARE PREGNANT!
As some of you may know, we have been dealing with these issues since early April and began trying in mid-June. From the information Dr. Denker had given us we didn't expect it to happen this fast. Dr. Denker had told us, "If you are not pregnant by August, I want you to start in-vitro." So this definitely came as a shock.
It is kind of funny how it all came to happen but here is the story:
Since we decided that we were going to start a family, Beni started working a second job in Miami. He is working 7 days a week until school starts again so that we can save lots of money. Well, Dr. Denker had me doing Ovulation Kits to make sure #1: I am ovulating and #2: when I am ovulating. Well as it would happen, I started ovulating Day 1 of the 3 days that Beni is in Miami. (He stays with his parents those 3 days) So I freaked! In my head I was thinking, "I am going to be fertile for the 3 days by boyfriend isn't here!" So I had to "make arrangements." I took the Tri-Rail down to Miami after work for those three days to make sure we could get it done. LOL. This was the week of the 4th of July.
So a week later I was feeling really bloated and didn't really understand it. I felt like I had eaten a 10 course meal. So Wednesday the 11th was the soonest I could use the early result pregnancy tests to see if we had made it work. They advise you to use them in the AM so that was what I did first thing that morning. I got a negative result. I was suuuuuuppppper bummed. I thought well hopefully, it is just to soon. I told myself that I would not test again until I missed my period, as it was to much of an emotional roller coaster.
Let me just say, when women say, "I knew I was pregnant, I could just feel it" I know what they mean. That whole week, I kept saying to my co-worker, I know I pregnant, I just know.
Welllllllll, Friday came along and I only work half days, therefore I was home before Beni. When I got home, I could smell the cat box and it stunk. Phewww. Beni has really been on me about not changing that thing because he is very worried and doesn't want to compromise anything. Well as some of you know, I am very stubborn and have to do things almost as immediately as I think them up. I decided, I would take a pregnancy test and if it was negative I would clean it. Well I took my first test: Positive w/ a faint line. Wait, is this for real? I called Nana, I was jumping up and down! I pregnant, I'm Pregnant.
I love that lady. She said, "I would be jumping up and down too but my back hurts to much." God love her. So like all women, I didn't believe it so I went to the store to buy a different brand of tests. After 4 tests and 4 positive results I finally believed it.
Telling Beni
I had already plotted how I would tell Beni when I found out. Since he was at work, I made reservations at a nice restaurant in Boca for us to have dinner. I called him and told him that I had made reservations and that he needed to hurry home. Once he got home I rushed him into the shower as I was already to go. As I was putting on my shoes Beni went to his boxer drawer for a pair of boxers and found baby diapers and 4 positive pregnancy tests. He looked at me with shock, surprise, and happiness. "We're Pregnant!" We both hugged each other and just cried. This was truly our miracle, one we created. We had been through so much in our lives, our relationship, and the past couple months, that this was such a sigh of relief for us.
We took pictures that night out having dinner and then took a preliminary belly picture. We followed up with the doctor and confirmed via blood test that we indeed are pregnant. I am currently 5 weeks pregnant. We both realize it is very early and that most people don't announce these things this soon. We want our family and friends to know and understand what we are going through and we are both keeping positive thoughts for a healthy pregnancy. We have an appointment scheduled on August 3rd for our 1st ultrasound. Please keep us in your thoughts!
Celebratory Dinner!
