I always wanted a surprise pregnancy. I just didn't ever think it would happen when I was incredibly happy not being pregnant.
Yes, I'm expecting. I'm 14 weeks, due July 15th. It is unknown if my heart medication is safe during pregnancy, so sadly, I can't take it anymore. My blood pressure has been pretty good though. AND I haven't fainted yet, which is a great achievement.
I'm trying not to panic about how in the world I can be a Mother to three kids, or where the baby is going to sleep in our tiny home, not to mention all the STUFF that comes with babies. I'm also trying not to panic about moving across the country with a baby (in a year and a half).
One thing I've learned is planning my future doesn't work. BUT having faith and gratitude with whatever comes my way does. I tell Hyrum all the time that whining doesn't help. I have to have the faith that Heavenly Father will not give me more than I can handle. I'm sure it will be difficult at times, but we'll survive and be stronger in the end.
I have never learned more about myself, life, and the true nature of God than during motherhood. I guess I have more to learn.

Congratulations! The condition MUST be contagious! :) Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you--so sorry to hear you have to give up the meds; I do know that when Heavenly Father gives you surprises, He guides you along the way.
