We're Pregnant!!!!

Welcome to our blog!!  I wanted to start writing here to document our first pregnancy and make it easier for our families to follow along since they live out of town.  I also plan on writing about our weekends, vacations we take, or random thoughts that just pop into my head.

Well let's get to it!  Casey and I had been trying for about 4 months to conceive.  I was really starting to get discouraged but I knew that this was in God's hands and told myself to keep my faith and continue praying to Him.  I had been tracking my ovulation for about 3 of those months, and realized I wasn't ovulating.  Then, on February 17th, the heavens parted, and voila, a smiley face!  It was go time!  Now the waiting game begins.....

On the weekend of February 28th, we were having dinner with some friends where we would be having a few drinks so I decided to take a pregnancy test before heading out(even though it was 3 days early).  Negative.  So I had a few margaritas at dinner and didn't think about it anymore.  That is, until the following Tuesday, when I was still late.  I had decided that I would take another test first thing in the morning. 

The next morning after I woke up, I took the test and patiently waited.  I started the shower and made the bed to try to keep myself preoccupied while the time was ticking.  I went back in the bathroom and HOLY CRAP.......two lines!  Woaaaaaahhhhh Nelly!  All sorts of thoughts rushed through my head since I used the cheap test the first time around.  I started crying and then started jumping up and down (then stopped cause I didn't want to "shake the embryo loose".....sheesh I know nothing about "embryo implantation".  It's my first time here!)  I immediately dug into the back of my bathroom cabinet to find the expensive digital tests I had bought and took one of those.  Here we go again....tick tock, tick tock.  I went and fed Murphy and brushed my teeth.  When I went back in to check, the words "PREGNANT" appeared.  Que: more tears.  I was so freaking excited!!!

The next thing that popped into my head was "How do I tell Casey"?  I wanted to make sure it was special.  I already had the perfect plan on how I was going to tell him.  Since we are building a new house, I was going to put a sign on our lot that said "Future Nursery" and tell him that we needed to go check on the progress of the house.  However, the Wednesday that I found out, it was flooding.  Nix that idea.  Soooo I decided to tell Casey that I wanted to meet him for lunch.  I ran to Babies-R-Us before we met up, and got some little white onesies and a pink bib and a blue bib that said "I Love Daddy".  I wrapped them up real quick in my car and waited in the parking lot for him to get there.  When he pulled up I told him to get in and that I had a gift for him.  He was so confused!  He opened it up and couldn't believe it!  Que: more  happy tears!!! 

We went and ate lunch and talked about the future and how excited we were!!  I decided to buy one more pregnancy test to take the following morning, just to make sure!  Yep, it's official!  Baby Satterfield is due November 12, 2015!!  We can wait to meet our precious angel!
