Oh heyyyy...it's still me! I got really sick of the polka dots and engagement pics from 2+ years ago, so I decided to change things up on here! However, I suck at technology so it's taking me a while to figure everything out and get things exactly how I want them. Any profesh blog designers want to do everything for me?!
Anyways, thank you for all of the love for Baby Ferg already!! Of course I wrote a blog post the day after (and a few days after) I found out I was prego. So here you go!

Omg. Is this for real?! Am I seriously pregnant? WHATTTTTT?!?! I still can't believe it. Biggest shock ever!!!!
My period was
supposed to arrive May 27. It was no where to be seen! Two of the girls I hang around with the most were both late with their periods, plus with all of my job-hunting stress, I figured
it would be a little bit late. Tuesday the 28 I took a pregnancy test just to
be sure and it was negative. I wasn’t sure if there was enough pee on the stick
though.
Thursday night my
period STILL had not come, and I was super, super tired. Like, my 6 mile run was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. And also my boobs hurt. And also I had very bad
cramping all day. I thought it might be my period cramps until I googled it (THANKS
google) and found out it was a sign of pregnancy. I took another pregnancy test
and this one was kinda positive!! The second line was a little faint though.
I
called Dana, who has used these tests before and sent her the pic of the test.
She told me I should get a digital test just to be sure (these first tests were cheapies off Amazon that came with my ovulation tests--CLEARLY not the most accurate!!).
I ran to Rite Aid 5 minutes before they closed and got a fancy two-pack EPT. I
got home and took the first test. It kept flashing weird things, so I think I
messed it up somehow. So, I took the other one in the box and that one didn't work either! So now I had to go to the grocery store because Rite Aid was now
closed. This time, I got Clear Blue tests, which even said on the box “easiest to
read.” So I figured I couldn't mess these up. This whole time I am frantically
texting Dana and she is laughing at me for being unable to take a pregnancy
test!
I got home with
my THREE clear blue pregnancy tests and pee on the first one. Almost INSTANTLY
the cross appeared (which means pregnant). I started freaking out!!! I was so
excited, but also nervous because we weren't 100% trying/ready!
Thankfully,
Travis was at softball this whole time, so he was not around to witness my
craziness.
I could hardly
sleep, even though I had been exhausted only a few hours before. I think I may
have slept 3 hours the whole night.
Friday, I went to
school and taught and felt very weird. I kept messing up my kids names and
forgetting stuff (uh oh, pregnancy brain already?!). I also had cramping again,
and at times felt a little nauseous. I basically felt like I had a mild
flu…chills and then I’d get really hot, and just a general “blah” feeling. I
was also super anxious about telling Travis because I had NO clue how he was
going to react.
After school, I
went to Buy Buy Baby and got a UNC onesie as my way of telling him. He was
already home when I got home so I walked in and was like, “I have a present for
you!” He sorted of looked at me like WTF? And then opened the bag, pulled out
the onesie and said “what is this?” I told him I was pregnant and he was just
shocked! He didn't believe me at first, but then when he realized I wasn't joking he just kept asking “why?” hahah…um because that’s what happens!!
We are both just so shocked!!! But excited!

Still kind of
tired, but thankfully no morning sickness…yet (knock on wood!). I think the
tiredness is from my lack of caffeine…summer is coming soon and I can rest!!!
Thank you, Jesus! The cramping has also continued slightly, along with the
pregnancy brain….on Sunday, I poured my sugar packet BACK into the container
where I keep them instead of into my (decaf) coffee!
Last night, we
told my parents. It was SO hard to keep from my mom and I couldn't keep it in
anymore. I wanted to tell them in person, but since they live 4 hours away, it was hard to think of an excuse to get them to come to Charlotte all of a sudden. So, I printed off a picture and put it in
a frame. Around the matting of the frame, I wrote, “The best parents get
promoted to grandparents,” in my best teacher writing. These things were like
$30 on Etsy! Ummm no!
Anyways, I overnight shipped it to them on Monday and
told them to expect a package, but not to open it until they called me first.
So they got the
package Tuesday and called me. I told them my phone was dying and could we
Skype? We tried Skype, but their camera was not working. We probably hung up
and tried about 5 times before I couldn't take it anymore and was just like, ok
open the package!!! I am sad that I couldn’t see their faces, but their (vocal)
reactions were priceless. They had absolutely NO clue and were so surprised and
excited! My mom was shocked I wasn’t sick yet (she was super sick when prego with
me and my brother) and we talked all about being pregnant. My mom also said she
could tell I was keeping something from her these past few days, but had NO
clue this was why! Travis was also in the room, so that was fun that he could
be in on the conversation as well. I am glad that the secret is out and now I
can talk to not only Dana about pregnancy questions, but my mom as well.
After the convo with
my parents, I met some of my teacher friends at Cantina. They were all drinking
and it was SOOOO hard not to order a drink! I just told them I was so tired
that I might fall asleep on the table if I had a sip of alcohol and I don’t think they
suspected anything. The chips, salsa and my fav chopped salad were delicious as
always though!
I am going to use a chalkboard to keep track of my pregnancy like this girl (oh and Dana!), except mine probably won't be as cute!! Here is my first bump/last abs picture, at about 5 weeks!
I'll be back to post more bump pics soon!!! :)
