We found out about a month ago that I'm pregnant. yay! But it's also been a stressful month waiting for my first prenatal apt and ultrasound. It'll be a year next month since I suffered a miscarriage with my first pregnancy so being pregnant again brought up a lot of emotions and worries. Even though my Doc confirmed pregnancy 3 weeks ago with urine and blood tests, I was skeptical. Well, I went in yesterday for my first prenatal and I'm 7 weeks! Baby is due on Christmas. What a wonderful Christmas present! When I saw baby's heartbeat I was so overwhelmed I started crying tears of joy-the doc probably thought I was crazy but I don't care! It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. DH was right there holding my hands and when I looked at him, his eyes were misty.
The pregnancy has been our little secret for the past month but after the appointment, I told my best friend. The doc said that once heartbeat is detected, 95% of women go on to have healthy pregnancy and babies. I feel so relieved hearing that. We won't tell parents or the rest of the family until the second trimester.

I am so happy right now, every time I look at the ultrasound pictures I get a burst of joy and gratitude. I am going to be a Mama! My God, this is what pure happiness feels like!
