This will be my first and hopefully only baby.

We started trying 3 months ago and I am so excited it’s happening!

I’ve always wanted a baby and it’s taken a lot of patience to find the right person to make a life with.

I have these awful test strips at home that do not detect early pregnancy but I knew something was off last Thursday. My back was hurting so bad and I just felt super off, so I went to the store and bought the early response tests, and there it was. The line.

Each day I take another test and the line just gets darker and I just get happier and happier.

I feel so grateful and lucky.

My symptoms are:

Sharp pains all over my stomach, nothing crazy but definitely my body is shifting.

Back pain.

Crazy sense of smell.

High appetite

And I’m tired, but haven’t quite hit that wall yet.
