We're Pregnant!!!

So, I've never been "blogged" before.  But I thought this would be an excellent way to keep our friends updated on my pregnancy.  

Josh and I were only trying to get pregnant for about a month.  We are very blessed that it happened so quickly. 

On January 3rd, I went to the doctor to discuss my irregular periods. He was unsure why they were so irregular and ultimately arrived at the diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.  A disorder where my ovaries only ovulate cysts, not the eggs. I was prescribed medication for that and went on my merry way.  When I got home from that appointment, the nurse called and said, "You're never going to believe this.  Your urine test was positive!!!"  I went right down to Kaiser to get a blood test. And on Wednesday, I called to get the results.  IT WAS POSITIVE!!!!  That day, I was substituting at RA Long High School, where Josh teaches.   I went right down to his classroom and told him.  It was so neat to share that experience together right away.  

This last week has been a whirlwind.  We have enjoyed sharing our exciting news with all of our friends and family and have quickly realized how LOVED this baby is, already.  We can't wait to meet him or her in September.  

I think blogging about my pregnancy is going to be a neat experience.  :-)  Can't wait to write more!! 

Now, I'm off to my first doctor's appointment, with the nurse.  Hopefully she'll be able to answer my MILLIONS of questions! I want to make sure to do everything right for the next 8 months.  :-)
