Sore breast, stomach feels bloated and she has adomonal pains.
Telling The Family
We just found out were pregnant, now we was conteplating when to tell the family. Should we wait till the 3month scan or should we tell them straight away. We was just to excited to keep it quiet we decided to tell our familes. On Friday, 24th Feb we told my family first, well my family live in America as im American so I called my mom up an told her an she was like OMG, HOW!? Haha, I explained an she was just so happy for us.
Next was telling Shell's family. I wanted to tell her parents in person, so we invited the out for a drink an told them the news. They was excited, didnt react the way I thought they would but they was happy. It was a good night, but lead to a argument between me an my mother inlaw lol. She wanted to be at the birth an I said no its just gonna be me an shell an she was mad. She also wanted to come to shell's first scan an shell an I said no an that pissed her off to. We want our own family momments ya know. But Shells siblings were all shocked an excited for us and same with her cousins. It was a good turn out.
How it all started
We are going to take you back to how it all started and why. We tried to become foster carers in Jan 2010 but after 11months we was denied Dec 2010. We was frustrated and angry, but afterwards we sat down an decided this is it. We are going to have our own kids, we agreed we would try for a baby after Shell's 30th birthday in June 2011. So now that we know when we wanted to start trying for a baby the next step was to find a donor. Thats when I started searching an researching for AI donors. It wasn't easy but I eventually found us a suitable AI donor. After a month he decided he wanted to do it natural, so we got rid of that donor and I again went an searched for another donor. After a month I found us another donor. Months went by and it was finally time to start trying for a baby.
It was july 2011, we missed our ovulation date, so that month was a miss, then Auguest the donor was away so was unable to do the AI. We was a little upset but we understood. So September then Oct comes an we do the AI, we waited the 2 weeks but shell started her period. We Didn't bother doing the pregnacy test. I told the donor when shell was ovualtion was but unfortuntely he was away that weekend so couldn't do the AI. So November was a miss, again we was upset but we was ok with it. Taken a break might do us some good. Refreshed and excited December comes along and we do the AI an wait again the 2 weeks. Shell was late on her period but after being 3 days late she started her period, we was upset we was hoping she was pregnant. Jan comes along an we was just getting over XMAS and the donor was away as well so Jan 2012 was a miss.
We wasn't to upset about it as it was nuetrual. Feb comes long we go an do the AI. we waited 2 weeks and shell never had her period. A day turned into a week late, so we decided to take a pregnancy test on Feb 23 2012. The first test was one them cheap test strips we got off amazon. It came back with a faint 2nd line. We was like ok, are we pregnant or not???? I looked up a faint pregnancy test and what I read was that its more than likely your pregnant a line is a line regardless how faint. Well we wanted to be sure, so I went and bought a clearview pregnancy digital test. It tells you if your pregnant and how far along you are. Shell came home from work and took a pregnancy test, withing a minute it came up Pregnant, then another minute went by an it said pregnant 1-2 weeks. we was over whelmed over joyed..We was open mouthed, couldn't stop smiling. We was pregnant and was over the moon. We couldn't believe it!!
