The world is warmer and brighter now

Life is so exciting right now. On Sunday I found out I was pregnant! I took two test with the lines first but I just wanted the solidification of seeing the word pregnant so we bought a digital one and I took that too... My boyfriend Chance and I are so giddy and triumphant right now at the prospect of bringing a child into the world together. He has always wanted to be a dad and I knew I would one day be a mom. At first we weren't sure it would be possible due to early medical complications he had as a baby so seeing the positive reaults on the tests meant more than becoming parents but that we had the ability to have one of our own! Expressing how excited I am about becoming a mom and raising a child with my best friend is impossible! He is going to be an amazing, caring dad. We are going to teach our little tomorrow child everything we know ( if you are wondering what a tomorrow child is it is a reference to something a character on the show Shameless said while talking to his girlfriend about having a mixed race baby, lol), and I'm 100% sure we will learn as much if not more from him/or her too! It's still really early in the pregnancy. I'm only 4-5 weeks, but I'm already feeling the changes. I get tired, and a bit out of breath from simple tasks such as washing dishes or walking upstairs. I've also had cramps! I didn't know I would get cramps from being pregnant, but good old Google helped me out and I discovered that it is normal to have mild cramps; my body is preparing to carry a child from 9 months by making my uterus wider and stronger. can't wait to see what happens next! I am going the route of a midwife with my pregnancy. There is a really great Nurse Practitioner/midwife here that everyone I've asked has recommended. I am excited and scared to go with natural childbirth but it just feels right. I don't know how to explain it, it just does. and it's great because she has her office at the hospital so if there are any complications there is a medical staff readily available. well, that's it for now. not much more to say, but I'm sure there will be soon!
