After much mental debate I decided that this new chapter needs a blog. A way for me to communicate with myself and possibly others what we are going through and what is happening. Not to mention my opportunity to actually speak out about what I think.
What has deemed this point in our lives as a new chapter? Four days ago we took an important test and the results were relief, excitement, and shock. Four days ago we found out that we are pregnant. This was something that we (myself especially) had hoped for but we're in the dark as to how soon or long it would take to come about.
So please bear with me as I explore this new fronter of blogging the days, weeks and months ahead as this new chapter unfolds.
Now that I have prefaced this a little I want to jump right in. I started doing a little online research this morning since sleep was escaping me. I stumbled or rather clicked across an informative website concerning the week by week development of the baby. My best guesstimation is we are entering week 5 which would be the 3rd week since conception.
I was amazed to see that the first heart beat could be by the end of next week. NEXT WEEK?! The miracle of it all! And after looking ahead a few more weeks (wk 8)I was completely shocked to see in a picture that the form of the new little one could be visible. So soon! Again, the miracle of it all! Now at this point it would be wise and safe for me to point out that twins run in both our families though I know that the decision is from my man's side. Hmmmm twins. We'll cross that bridge if and when we come to it.
Now that we know we are expecting I'm going to have to step up my preparations even more. The other bedroom which was going to be the game room painted in San Jose Shark colors will now be the baby room; though I'm thinking of still playing with the same colors only different hues. That means I have to get organized. Actually this may make it easier... I'm sure there are a lot of things in those boxes that I won't want to bother with keeping now that we are making way for a baby.
Yes, we have been thinking of baby names... I've had a few picked out for years but have made alterations due to wanting to bring in some family names from his side as well. He is a Jr. so I decided that a son would need to bear the name too; however we plan to use it as a middle name so as to prevent possible confusion or teasing. As for a girl I'm thinking of using the middle name of my name sake. I was given her first name but my middle name was inevitable: after 4 boys I was the only girl so what else could it be but Joy. At least that is what my mom has always told me. LOL
