my first, i can't believe it!

i just found out yesterday i'm pregnant. i'm stunned... and terrified lol! it's not sinking in. yesterday i was all glowing and happy, and today i'm just... this feels like a dream. :) i have some names picked out already... what do you guys think?
for a girl: Aivlynn, or Draeka (pronounced dray-a-ka)
for a guy: Taivyn or Ozzy
my friend recommended a midwife to me, so i'm going to call her once i get my bloodwork done to confirm it. (i just took a urine test once i found out my period was late) i am in week 5 of my pregnancy, which means his/her little brain is already starting to develop!
haha i'm getting cramps like crazy, and my BBs are sooo sore. but i am sooo happy. :) i haven't told my parents yet... i'm waiting until thanksgiving. i'm 21 years old, and i have no idea how to be a mom! i have some ideas, but... any advice would be welcome!

Firstly may i say a massive CONGRATULATIONS to you both :confetti:

We were trying to conceive for 2.5years ... and finally i fell pregnant :dance:

My first reaction when my Doc confirmed i was pregnant was not quite as i imagined ... it was more like " Oh, Sh@t i have finally done it ... OMG, what kind of parent am i going to be :o" ... I actually went into panic mode for a few minutes and then i started shaking with such excitement :D

If it makes you feel any better i was 40years of age pregnant with my 1st child & i had absolutely no idea what to do ... i had never changed a nappy (diaper) in my lifetime ... i had only bottle feed friends babies.

You will be absolutely great, don't worry okay ... hey i turned out to be a pretty good Mum (my daughter is now 2.5years) ... and i'm still learning something new everyday ;)

Just learn to never ever put pressure on yourself ... just BE YOU ... You will do SUPER !!!

I told my parents on Christmas Day 2005.

I wish you the very best ... and ENJOY your magical pregnancy journey !!!

Big hugs from Lorelle :hug:

P.S - I like AIVLYNN ... ( my surname ends in LYN )

Congratulations! Wishing you a very happy & healthy pregnancy :D

thank you guys! 2.5 years is a long time to be trying to conceive, i'm glad you finally did it and that your baby was healthy! what a blessing. :) my aunt and uncle took a long time too. you just never know, everyone is different.
i love kids, i used to work with them at daycares and babysitting so i know a little bit about them, but babies are still relatively new to me. :) i'm so excited though!
a little interesting tidbit, i think our baby was conceived on halloween. :D spooky, right?
