Where it all began

It was a saturday night and I had just got home from a shabbas spent at my mothers, with another sister and her 4 kids. Two of her kids had just been recovering from a bad stomach virus, that was contagious. I was up all night, most of it sitting on the bathroom floor next to the toilet. I didn't think I was pregnant, I just thought it was quite obvious that I had caught the virus. I waited for it to pass all Sunday and then all Monday but it wasn't getting any better, and the virus that was going around was just a 24 hours virus, not a few days. It was not until I was on the phone with a sister of mine, saying how I was still sick, when she joked "Maybe your pregnant." To her feeling sick meant being pregnant, because she is pregnant, and was going through morning sickness at that time. We joked about it for a little and then I started to question myself and my 'virus'. When I hung up the phone I couldn't get the thought out of my head, but still very questionable about the whole thing.
I'm ganna get personal and explain, and I hope this won't offend anyone. Again my blog is to make people more aware of anything on this topic.
Many of you have probably heard that once your on birth control, and go off, your body can take some time to ovulate and may need time adjusting. It's like a heads up if you don't get pregnant right away it's normal, even if its a couple of months. But no one tells you that not always is there a few month wait, it maybe even be a few weeks. So next time you may not want to take the 'waiting till my body adjust' into your time frame.
I was on birth control for a little over a year, and my husband and I made the decision we should go off. But we had in our minds that it will probably be in a few months from now...but it wasn't. About two and half weeks later is when I experienced my so called 'virus'. I didn't think was possible to even start feeling things so early on in pregnancy, and I certainly didn't think I was pregnant so fast. Still hesitant or maybe in denial, I still thought it was just a virus, after all I wasn't even due yet for my period and I haven't missed one so I thought I would always have at least till then. But my virus wasn't getting any better, so I decided to take a test, waiting for the result was one of those most scary, anxious, exciting, nervous and emotional few minutes of my life... basically the most bipolar moment ever! I took a digitally test and I was just expecting/waiting for it to say 'not pregnant' (clearly I was still in denial) I never would I have imagined to see the words pregnant, but when those 8 letters P.R.E.G.N.A.N.T became visible, I was SO in shock, I bursted out into tears (happy tears of course) and just hugged my husband and was laughing and crying, jumping and hugging  saying "were pregnant" "were pregnant" "were pregnant" obviously another bipolar moment, but now we can just call it HORMONES.
My virus turned into a 4 month virus called 'morning sickness'! And this is where it all began, the emotion roller coaster, the sleepless nights or the sleep all day days, the nausea and vomiting, the no appetite and an amazing sense of smell. You cry for absolutely no reason and can laugh at things that just aren't funny, you cry because your crying and get mad that your just crying, for reasons you don't understand. Your in the mood a specifics food, so your husband goes and gets you it, but by the time he comes back, you no longer can look or think about eating it. And all we have to blame for this, is that tiny tiny thing in us called a baby/fetus, that causes us to have massive hormones... In other words PREGNANCY!!!
