Heading for the hills....and growing my own bump!

Well, after three positive tests I think that it is safe to say I am pregnant! Jonathon and I planned on trying to conceive as soon as we were married, but I don't think that either of us were prepared for it to happen on our first try. We got married three weeks ago, and pregnant the following week!

I had a feeling that I was pregnant but was afraid to get my hopes up.

I am so happy!

I have been struggling with the joy of no longer having to diet, and the pain of dealing with gaining more weight - UGH! Oh well, as long as we have healthy baby, waist be damned!

Jonathon is absolutly gushing with pride! He keeps cheering in elation "My boys can swim!" and "I'm gonna be a daddy." Well, that, and "Are you really pregnant?" (Hence the need for additional tests :) ) Have I mentioned yet that my husband can't keep a secret if his life depended on it? No? Well, he can't.

What am I getting myself into?!

I don't really know what I am doing, or why I am doing this. I don't expect anyone to read it, but am not opposed the idea of others peeping in on my life. I thought that this could be a way for me to sort through all of the changes that are going on in my life right now.
As of two weeks ago I went from being a single mom to a wonderful 8 year old boy - to the wife of a wonderful man who will forever keep me busy!
I never thought of myself as a city girl since I grew up in the suburbs of major cities my whole life, however I am moving shortly to an appalacian town in the hills of Kentucky. After reviewing my housing options, or lack there of - and shopping options, or lack there of, I realized that a city girl is far more likely to be the category which I fall into.
I should back up - I am moving shortly as long as:
A: My son's father stays true to his word that he will sign an agreement allowing me to relocate.
B: We can find a place to live.

Let's just say there is a lot going on in the near future, and I am tired of all of the stress that comes with the impending change. I am much better and handling change when it is known change, the unknown however leaves me sick to my stomache, prone to headaches, and stress eating everything that isn't nailed down! I think I am the only bride who gained 15 lbs prior to her own wedding! (On that topic, I have yet to receive photos from the photographer and am afraid that I will look like a hippo shoved into white!)

I don't have a great grasp of what's to come, but I am ready to hold on tightly and laugh my way through it. (Well, that or cry and eat my way through it.)
