May

Two pink lines?.. Uh oh! May 3rd was definitely a life changer for Brett & I needless to say. However, about 24 hours after we realized things were going to be a little bit different in our lives, we knew everything was going to be just fine. I was extremely relieved to find how calm, positive and especially supportive Brett was over the entire situation. But the weight of the world sat on our shoulders for 3 weeks as we waited to journey back to the Ohio Valley to break the news to our parents. If that wasn't ever a stressful weekend, for me at least, Brett on the otherhand was quite calm & collected. To make matters even worse, my allergies kick in, full force making me utterly MISERABLE. Well the news broke to the Ripley's & the Blazeski's. Different reactions, not terrible & by Sunday afternoon, things seemed to be 'okay'. All I know about the drive back to Central West Virginia Sunday night, is I felt like I could BREATHE again. Literally & figuritely.

Moral of the story: Brett & I clearly didn't plan to get pregnant. Thankfully, we're both very positive, optimistic people who have great outlooks on life. Things happen & together we have decided to make this "the most positive thing in our lives" as Brett has said. Those words were utterly reassuring & at times when I'm down, I repeat those to myself over & over.

In May I discovered NAUSEA! I had two straight weeks where I just always felt sick. It's strange because things that I ate that week (macaroni & cheese, hot dogs, egg & cheese burrito from McDonalds & McD's Sweet Tea) absolutely DISGUST me at present. Brett came to find that I'm a wimp when I don't feel good & he tended to find me pulling up to his place randomly looking sad, sick & pathetic. When I'm down & not feeling well though, all I want to do is cuddle with Brett. Thankfully, he doesn't mind too terribly much! ;)

At this point we realized, we need a serious agenda. Goals for June: figure out when I'm moving, go to the doctor, tell my boss/switch travel territories......
