This is my fifth pregnancy. WHOA. Pregnancies 1, 2 and 4 resulted in these crazy faces:
Pregnancy 3 resulted in this face::(
Pregnancy 4, aka:
I had just lost baby 3 when 4 (extreme cuteness) was on the way. I didn't tell anyone about 4 until the first trimester was over. I was in a bad place. A place of not really wanting to be excited about baby 4, almost angry, not having been "over" baby 3; it was still a huge, open wound. That's 90% of why I didn't tell. Some people wait to tell not from a bad place, just from a cautionary place, which I totally get. It's just not me. I'm not a big secret person.
This time, I'm not in a bad place. And yes, I'm more nervous than ever - knowing first hand it can and did happen to me - but I do NOT want that to interfere with my excitement for this long awaited little one. I won't be ruled by fear. This baby is already loved and celebrated and I long, hope, pray for the day to hold her (as probability dictates) in my arms.
YIIIPPPPEEEEEEE!!! I'm pregnant!!!
Times a million.
I told the world right away in pregnancies 1, 2, & 3. I wanted to celebrate! To be openly happy about it! For people I care about to celebrate with me! To start planning elaborate baby gifts! I was sort of (although not really) nervous, because we all know miscarriage is quite common. But, you know, it happens to other people. You (me) know it CAN happen to you (me), but do you ever really think it will? Certainly not! I'm a teenager and I can jump off a four story building and not get hurt! Whoot!

You have every right to be excited, even though it's early. It's still a baby and a blessing and needs lots of prayers. Yay!!Kristi's pregnant!!!!!
Celebrations should ensue from here on out! Do something each day to celebrate this new and coming life...I dare ya!!! : ) x a million.
We need fondue. To celebrate.
You mean Him right? You can't wait to hold HIM!!! I told you to start thinking it's going to be a boy and ....it will! :) Think positive!! I'm soooo EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS!!!!
You get to be excited from the moment you know, so why not share that excitement? God is in control, regardless of the outcome and he has great plans for that little one in there (boy, boy, boy, please a boy!)Yay for getting knocked up!!!
Don't be ruled by fear! tell people, we are all here for you no matter what! Can't wait to meet your little person:)
I don't blame you for sharing your news right away. I felt that way with this baby, too...needed all the prayers I (and the little one) could get! Congrats!
Very cool!!! I am hoping for a boy...but a girl would be great too. Celebrate! Eat more chocolate!
