5 weeks – so this is what blogging is?

My name is Lindsay – most of you that will stumble upon this know my name is Lindsay – duh! haha!! I’m new to this whole blogging thing, but after I fell in love with the online community during our wedding planning process, it was automatically where I thought I would come for the baby process. Then I stumbled on another beautiful mommy to be’s blog and decided instead of the traditional journal I’d just start a blog to journal my pregnancy!


So Justin and I have been married for 3 months and pretty much started trying to have a baby right after the honeymoon. We weren’t necessarily actively trying, we just weren’t preventing it, i.e. I went off birth control right after the wedding – that was Oct 1st. So needless to say, I must be a fertile myrtle since its been a whopping 3 months without BC and 6 years of being on some type of BC before this and I turn up preggers…

Positive Test @ 5 weeks (not FMU)

I was a mix of emotions. Each month before when Aunt Flo would arrive I would feel disappointed. When AF didn’t arrive in December I thought maybe it was the stress of work (Public House Investments) or the stress of us just moving and all the stuff going on with Justin’s business. I was feeling run down like I was coming down with the flu. Then I started to spot a week before AF was due and I was like oh well she must’ve arrived….but then she stopped. Again – I attributed it to the stresses of the moment, but she never came back. I decided when I was 5 days late maybe I should take a test.


I had always imagined when I found out I’d do some spectacular thing to tell Justin (I read about one of my online community friends surprising with a pizza that said Congrats, Dad) but alas my excitement ruined that moment haha! I took the test quietly in the evening. Immediately 2 lines for positive came up. Oh ______ fill in the blank there were so many mixed emotions. I called him upstairs calmly and showed him the test. He said, in his oh so loving way, I knew you were pregnant you were eating that weird shit the other night. The weird shit he speaks of was veggies and dip at 2am not THAT abnormal for me…


So then I tell him we’re not going to tell anyone yet let’s confirm with the doctor etc. Well that lasted all of 6 hours before it’s midnight and I’m calling my mom and sister to let them know the news. Funny thing is Leah gave me the book I gave her when she found out she was pregnant with Avery (her son) for Christmas, as if to say let’s hurry up this process…little did she know…haha!! And so our pregnancy was born.


By the online calculators I’m 5 weeks along, the baby is the size of a sesame seed or poppy seed I can’t keep it straight. I’ve taken to calling it Poppy and I’m making Justin talk to it every day. Yes I know it doesn’t have ears or a brain yet – but he’s a man – he takes training I want him to talk to the baby all the way through the pregnancy. I go for my first appointment on Monday (Jan 7th) and hopefully will have a more precise due date and measure of how far along I am.


I guess that’s all for now – wow that was a lot I guess I have a lot to say!! I’m hoping to edit this post to add a pic of the test b/c yes I’m a horrible girl and didn’t take a pic of the positive test yet (though I did save it and have checked it periodically since finding out)





Ta ta for now friends
