So, after my first ob-gyn visit on October 24 I’d noticed that I didn’t feel as nauseated as before and that started to worry me. I thought my next doctor’s visit was on November 4, but it ended up being on November 11 – so I had another week. That didn’t help my worries.
Well, never ever say that God doesn’t give you what you ask for. I wanted to know that Baby Turner was okay. I needed some type of sign. Well, on Tuesday, November 1, the sign came. I had just finished eating some biscuits and apple juice and was downstairs in the basement on the computer. Less than five minutes of being down there I felt this big rush come to my throat! I became light headed and nauseated. I quickly walked up the stairs and stood over the sink (not sure why I didn’t stand over the toilet). 30 seconds later up came the apple juice and some of my biscuits. 10 seconds later, up came all the rest of breakfast. It wasn’t cute. It wasn’t sexy. It’s didn’t look good to the human eye!
As I scooped out the big pieces of chewed up biscuits and threw them in the toilet I all of a sudden knew Baby T was still successfully baking in the oven! I thanked God for the sign but also prayed that I not have those signs on a regular basis. I crawled upstairs into bed for the rest of the afternoon and took it as easy as possible until I had to go teach Zumba.
Who knew growing a baby (especially at these beginning stages) would be so physically challenging!
This weekend in Atlanta was so amazing!!!!! I went to ATL for a ViSalus conference and Milton met me there. I still hadn’t told him that I was pregnant since I wanted to do it in person, but wanted to do it in a memorable way.
Once he arrived, I told him I wanted to show him how great my new Iphone 4S works. I started recorded him. He said a bunch of random things about our hotel room and what all he wanted to do for the weekend. I told him I wanted to show him something. I unzipped my jacket and had on a tank top that said “Baby Turner” on my stomach area. He looked at it and freaked out. He started walking around the room celebrating – and I got it all on camera. Unfortunately, i stopped the video just as he ran up to me, grabbed me, turned us around in circles and said “I’m gonna be a dad!”
It was such a special moment! I then explained that he couldn’t tell people for another 8 weeks. Milton started talking about all the things he is excited to see happen with Baby Turner. He is going to be a wonderful father, just wonderful!
