We decided to finally go for it and we tried in August, then I bought some ovulation predictors for September and that's when I got pregnant!
I took the first pregnancy test either September 22 or 23, the day I should've gotten my period. It was negative.
I took another pregnancy test September 26 when I still hadn't gotten my period. Negative.
Then I started getting minor cramps and even some odd ligament-like pain.
I took another one on September 30. POSITIVE! I had to text Neil a picture of the test because he had left to fly to Texas. I actually thought he'd already be in the air, but I caught him just in time. He was so excited!
My cycle is never as long as it was that month, so I was pretty sure I was pregnant, but since the tests kept showing up negative I tried not to think about it til I could get a positive result. Even though I was getting negative pregnancy test results, I was starting to get plenty of pregnancy symptoms... my boobs were already getting a little sore, I was peeing all the time, already getting bloated, increased sense of smell, and getting super emotional! I think I cried in every rerun of Scrubs I watched that week! (Scrubs is a comedy sitcom, in case you've never seen it!)
I took these pictures the same day I took the last pregnancy test just for funsies.
My starting weight is 119 lbs, that's probably 5 or 6 lbs heavier than where I started when I got pregnant with Barrett. I weighed in at the hospital on delivery day with him at 149.5 lbs. Hoping I can stay in that range again this time!
This is my first ultrasound I got at 8 weeks.
When I was only 7 or 8 weeks pregnant, I was getting Bear ready for bed and he looked at my stomach and said, "WOW your belly's really full!" He didn't know I was even pregnant yet, but I guess I was starting to show pretty early on!

That is where me and Chris are at right now. We are debating back and forth as well. I keep changing my mind. I know he wants another one and so does my mother in law but I haven't really decided either.
I'm so excited form you guys!! I can't wait to see if Bear gets to have a little brother or sister!
