First Ultrasound

I had my first ultrasound today! They saw a little sac, but it is too early to tell if there is anything/anyone inside. Lots of blood work done, and another appointment schedule for 2 weeks from now! I still feel great, so it is hard to conceptualize what is going on inside of me.

Surprise

Surprise is an understatement. A big one.
After a few minor things clued me in over the past few days, I took a pregnancy test tonight. Granted, it was expired, but it was all I had in the cabinent. Um, what? A plus sign isn't that hard to read, but I sat in the bathroom for about 3 minutes studying the image on the test and comparing it to the results indicator on the box.

I finally walked out of the bathroom, with my heart beating outside of my chest. Literally. Rylie was sound asleep and Adam was watching TV on the couch. I walk over to Adam and say, "Um, apparently I am pregnant." We laughed about the absurdity of the whole thing. We were instantly overjoyed about what we hoped would proceed into a healthy and normal pregnancy. And shocked. Really really shocked. After all, we were in the process of adopting two children from Kazakhstan.

Slowly but surely the news is settling in. And surprise or not, we are THRILLED!
