40 Weeks

Welcome to the Tough Like Mommy blog!

Let me tell you a little about myself.  I am 27 years old (well I will me in a few weeks) and my hubby is 32.  We got married in October 2012 and I can honestly say I married my best friend.  We both knew we wanted to start a family sooner than later we casually started trying after the wedding. 

I came off birth control right before the wedding because we didn't want to get pregnant before we were legit.  We knew that it could take a few months for my body to start ovulating again so when we didn't get pregnant right away we weren't shocked.  bummed maybe but not shocked.  It took me 2 months to get back on track and start having a normal cycle.  Which is actually really good and we pretty much got pregnant right after that. 

Our baby story begins on January 5, 2013, 40 weeks out!

I got home from the gym on Friday morning at 6:30 A.M. and decided I would take a pregnancy test.  All week I had this strange, 6th sense like feeling that we were expecting.  My sense of smell was out of control and by 3:00 P.M. each day I was literally falling asleep at my desk.  I was still 7 days away from my next period so I wasn't expecting to much to come of the test and I prepared myself to see a Not Pregnant sign and then just move on with my day.  I just assumed since my period wasn't for several more days the test would be negative even if we were.  But to my surprise two pink lines slowly got darker and darker.  I stood there in a complete state of shock and excitement!  We are pregnant!
It's funny how even when you are trying a positive test can still shock you haha!

I told my hubs that night when we got home from work with 7 little sticky notes and a little Daddy onesis.  We was so excited we almost got lost on our way to a restaruant we have been to at least a100 times. 

You could only imagine how many questions we had.  What can and can't I eat?  Can I still workout the same way I do?  How big is our baby?  I had been doing my research ofcourse when we started trying.  Still though these questions come to mind.

So now I am on a mission to learn everything I can to eat right, maintain my healthy lifestyle, and have a baby tougher than mommy!
