I decided since I am 5 weeks today, it would be a good time to start blogging my pregnancy! I have gone back and forth about if I should do a journal or blog and I decided this would be the best way to let everyone know what's going on!
Well on the beautiful day of May 23, 2009 I married my wonderful husband Craig. We both knew that as soon as we got married we wanted to try to have a baby. So we stopped any preventative measures and got lucky the very first month! On Monday, July 6, 2009 I woke up nauseous and was so excited (probably that first and last time I will be excited to have this feeling!) I couldn't sit up or walk 5 steps without feeling like I was going to throw up everywhere! That evening I went to my step-sister Sarah's house (who just had a beautiful baby boy in January) and she gave me a pregnancy test to take. Once Craig and I got home I took the test, so nerve wrecking! We went and looked after a couple minutes and there was one solid line and a faint line. Freaking out not knowing what it meant since Sarah didn't save the directions I call her and go get another test. She instantly tells me I'm definitely pregnant but of course I don't believe her. The next test was a clear blue easy that was suppose to have a - if your not and + if you are, well the vertical line was faint again! The directions say the best time to take it is the morning so I wait and try again then. Let's just say I'm not a morning person and have no idea how but the test didn't take. We decided we should go to the doctors and make sure before giving our hopes up. So Tuesday at 1:30pm we go to see Dr. Malvasi, our family doctor and good friend of the family. He tells us the test came back faint (urgh!) so he wants to do a blood test. On Wednesday morning at 9:22 am I get the call, yep you're pregnant! I'm not sure exactly when it all set in for me or maybe it hasn't yet but I never jumped up and down screaming joyful words like I thought I would.
I have wanted babies since I was 17 years old in high school and have tried to be smart saying I have to wait until I'm married, own a home, and have a steady job. Well I guess the time has come and it really just feels natural. Don't get me wrong Craig and I have had a lot of wow, really, we're having a baby, yay!, moments but its not like I dreamed it would be. At first I had some different symptoms like bloating, headaches, really thirsty all the time, lack of energy, and acne has been worse for a while now but most everything has stopped for now. I keep saying I don't feel pregnant! Not that I want morning sickness but it's like a sign that things are going good! It's still really early so hopefully nothing goes wrong, we are praying for a healthy and happy 9 months!

Kris only you would journal your pregnancy. It will be nice for the baby to see when they grow up. I was thinking I could be Gram Kleese I really loved her but I have to learn to make really great pies-she was best a lemon merangue. I have never been able to do merangue.
