Finding Out We Are Having A Baby

Jamie and I have been married for almost three years and have been together for over five. We have had GREAT times together and are one an others best friends, but over the past five to six months Jamie and I have truly experienced some of marriages toughest battles. Honestly, we were on the verge of a divorce. I can't even explain the pain and stress that we have gone through. But like I have have always two great things, one God never gives us more that we can handle and what doesn't kills you only makes you stronger. Both of which have proven themselves to be true. We are going strong now and love each other more than I think we ever have, thanks to some very wonderful people that were there to help us when we needed it most.
So in the midst of all this struggle I was not really paying much attention to my body and what it was telling me. I went through a period of about a month were I could barely eat or drink without throwing up. I have not had ANY monthly visits(which is pretty normal for my body especially during stressful times), and I have been losing weight in certain parts of my body such as my rear end and hips, but my stomach seemed to be growing. I thought I was just gaining weight and getting fat.
Well one night I was laying on my couch with my sweet little dog, daisy. She had her head rested on my stomach, when all of a sudden something kicked me, from inside, so hard it popped her head off of me. It freaked me out! Now it may sound overly dumb, but I did not do anything about it. I told my husband and he told me I was imagining things. Well after that it continued to happen about every evening when I layed down to rest on the couch or layed in bed. Finally I told my husband that there was something wrong with me and it was not in my head. I got in the car at 10:00 at night and went to walmart and bought a digital test(two in a box). I rushed home and went through the process and then waited. Within a minute it popped up PREGNANT! I freaked! Called my mom so she could calm me down and pull me out of shock and then had to get my husband out of shock! I somewhat did not believe it, but after four home test and one doctors test I have come to realization that we are having a baby. The scariest part is I am most likely around 5 months or so, due to the kicking and the other changes my body is going through, that I now know to watch for. Our works insurance is so expensive so we never signed up for it, but I am going to a doctor that is going to get me on medicaid. My first real appointment is on January 15th and I am overly excited. I can't wait to see what we are having! We are really hoping for a boy, but will be happy with anything that is healthy.
