It sounds so clinical. It sounds like it was just your body "faking" the hormones to make you look pregnant when you really weren't.
But really you were pregnant.
It's just that it didn't take.
Most women don't even know they were pregnant either because they weren't expecting it or they think it's too early to tell.
I knew. I was expecting it. I took the pregnancy test right at 14 days and it showed positive.
I didn't want to be pregnant. I told God I didn't want it. I had a rough weekend. Then I had some funky cramps.
Now I'm not pregnant.
Technically my period isn't even late. It's still within the range of days that my cycle normally is. But this time it's not a normal period. It should have been a baby.
Now I want this baby.

Here We Go
Hey world. So I found out this morning that I'm pregnant. It's pretty early, but they say you don't get false positives... and it's not like we weren't trying!
I'm not sure what to think. I feel like I want more kids. I've always wanted a big family because I see how well big families get along. At least the ones I know. Then again, it probably has more to do with how they are raised.
Then I think about having more than 2 kids and I just feel overwhelmed. I feel lost sometimes with one. Like I've lost my identity in him. And the logistics involved with travel/moving overseas... ay. It would be so much more expensive, not to mention pushing it that many more years out since I really don't want to have a baby overseas or even a small child. Our friends told us the other night that it's not recommended to take a baby less than a year old to where we want to go anyway. Then again, it'll be years before we can pay off all our debts and even think about going.
I guess I'm just not sure I'm ready to give up more of myself. My son is almost 2 and I finally feel like I'm getting into a rhythm where I can get things done. Or maybe that just has to do with me being lazy. I'm not sure.
All I know is, I'm not nearly as excited this time around. And that kind of sucks.
