Pregnancy

When I took a pregnancy test on October 8th, we were shocked and overjoyed by the positive result. Actually I believe I took several tests but all were positive so our "Journee" began from there.

Pregnancy has not been an easy feat by any stretch of the imagination .... I kind of envy those moms out there that LOVE being pregnant and sail right through pregnancy (although not sure I totally believe them). Morning sickness pretty much kicked in from about the 8th week and did not subside until about week 17. Aside from that, I'm pretty certain that I've endured every possible pregnancy "side effect" from lack of sleep to horrific migraines to hearburn to some things I will abstain from mentioning! But despite all of that, I am thrilled to be carrying this blessing and look forward to the day I'll be able to hold her in my arms!
