We are SO excited! Ok, I am so excited! We are PREGNANT!! We conceived on the first cycle we tried - I know we SO so blessed and I thank whatever higher power, deity, fate, destiny, or other entity for this wonderful precious life. I will endeavour to give back to universe as much as I can in life in utter gratefulness and thanks.
Hubby is being a little cautious and trying to keep my headspace on an even keel in case anything awful happens (knock on wood, and then more wood again). It's a really tough secret to keep as I am an open book, hate keeping secrets this joyous, am an eternal optimist, and just so.happy.and.excited that I want to tell EVERYONE.
Hubby initally called the Bump (ok, the grain of poppy seed at this stage) the "parasite" until I got angry at him, and then amended his pet name to "ALF" (alien life form). I am already calling it the baby. I understand being cautious until the first trimester is over, but I really want to enjoy this pregnancy and by then, I would have missed a third of this amazing time! Also, if anything bad does happen (knock on wood) then I would want my closest family and friends for support. And I LOVE spreading the joy! It's so lovely when people are happy for you. I also believe that stress reactions and anxiety will have an effect on the embryo, so I am staying happy and positive and oh-so-grateful for this little miracle of love.
