BIG news!

I'M PREGNANT!
I thought long and hard about how I would go about announcing to the world that Misi and I are expecting our first child.  After racking my brain of what I would say and how I would say it, everything flew out the window when I sat down to write this post.
I haven't had the chance to visit the doctors yet, so I don't know exactly how far along I am, but according to the date of my last menstrual cycle, I'm starting week seven today.
Seven weeks pregnant! can you believe it? I sure can't! especially since I don't feel pregnant at all!
I'm completely fine...so far!
I saw this pin on pinterest a few months ago (it's from http://blog.hannamac.com/) and I knew that when I got pregnant, I too would create my own pregnancy journal book.
So here are the first few pages...It's written to my child, so it's simple and childish in structure.

 So if you remember from a few months ago, I posted that Misi and I had decided to get me off of depo and start trying to have a child.  Because I was on depo for four years, the doctor had told me that it would take at least a year for my body to wean off of the shot and then another year to get pregnant.  So we were looking at two years before we could even start thinking of taking any pregnancy tests.  Well, my last shot was in January, and my first missed period was in November.  When I missed my period I immediately thought I was pregnant.  The negative test result confused me a bit, but I just figured that maybe it was just late, or maybe because I had started a new diet and work out program, it was just off schedule somehow.  Whatever the reason for the negative, it convinced me that we weren't to be expecting any time soon.

Because the test result was negative, I felt completely comfortable jumping in on a new deep cleanse diet with Misi, using the Isagenix products through a game called Your Isa-Game On.  It was an intense deep body cleanse that took place for two weeks.  Misi lost over 15 pounds in 11 days! I had lost 6 pounds the first week, but then only lost 2 pounds the second week.  I was ticked off that I didn't lose more, because the effort I put into it should have resulted in more weight and inches lost.  Misi was confused too and so he said "maybe you should just take another pregnancy test, just in case."  I thought it was a lost cause and a waste of $7.00 but I needed closure for not doing well on the diet.  So I bought another test.  I peed. waited 2 minutes. Then freaked out! it was a positive!!  I jumped in bed and tried to quickly think of a cute way to tell Misi the news, but when he opened his eyes I  just blurted out "I'm pregnant!"

Guess that explains why I wasn't loosing weight right?  I still couldn't believe it.  So much so that I took two more tests at different times of the day, thinking I could outsmart the result or something.  But again and again, I kept getting that little blue positive sign.  We were freaking out to say the least.

We spent an entire day trying to decide whether or not we wanted to let anyone know yet.  We figured that since I'm still pretty early in my pregnancy, there's still a big chance of miscarriage.  I didn't want to tell anyone and then end up losing the baby and saying "sorry to get you so excited for nothing."  But then I thought about it and Misi and I agreed that that's what family and friends are for.  To be there not only through the good, but through the bad.  To offer love and support so you don't have to face the world alone.   So we decided to share the news with our parents and siblings first.  They're all really excited for us and we explained that since it's still early that we'd love to have their prayers for baby to make it through and be healthy.  At this point we're trying to be prepared for the worst, while hoping for the best.
