The Details

Many of you have already heard the details or at least read them through email, etc., but I want to post them on here in case anyone missed it.

This pregnancy was not planned, but we couldn't be happier! Over the weekend Jon was in a wedding, so we were away. I was late, but I didn't think much of it as we kept pretty busy the whole time. By the time Sunday came, and still nothing, the thought of being pregnant crossed our minds. I was also feeling slightly queasy and just "under the weather." Monday I took one pregnancy test which came back positive -- it was a faint, but definite line! I took the second test Tuesday morning and got the same result. Wanting to be absolutely sure, we went to the Walk-in on Tuesday and had a blood test done. I got a phone call Wednesday morning saying that I am "definitely" pregnant, and at least 3-4 weeks along!

No one can tell you what it is like to "feel" pregnant. It is something you can't understand until you experience it for yourself. Now I know!

Love,
Morgan

Hi everyone, and a Walmart announcement!

This blog will be a place where our friends and family are able to read updates on the pregnancy, etc. So thank you to those who come and read it!

Today I am feeling okay. I was really drained of energy and my stomach was hurting, but I took a walk to the Post Office and that seemed to help. I also have the fan on now which is wonderful!! Jon and I are going to fill out some paperwork for the financial assitance program through our hospital, which will give us 50% or 100% off all costs if we qualify. Once that is taken care of we will make our first appointment with the OB/GYN! We have one highly recommended to us; his name is Dr. Michael Farrell. The hopsital is Lourdes Hospital - http://www.lourdes.com .

Jon also told me a funny story! Yesterday when he was working at Walmart, two of our friends came to visit him and congratulated him. A manager came by and wondered what was going on, so Jon told him. He asked if it was a secret and Jon said no, anybody can know... so the manager got on the intercom of Walmart and announced, "Attention everyone, if you see Jon from electronics, be sure to congratulate him, he just found out today that he's going to be a father."

And speaking of Walmart, I made two purchases yesterday...prenatal vitamins and a book: What to Expect When You're Expecting !

Love,
Morgan
