By now, just about everyone who reads this blog knows that I am pregnant. My husband has been relentlessly bugging me about blogging about being pregnant. Now that I am out of the nasty first trimester and I have energy again I can finally blog. (My other excuse, I've been busy. Plus I work all day on a computer and one of the last things I want to do at night is sit in front of a computer)
So..here it is. I'm Pregnant! Yep!
From the very beginning, here's how it happened.
November 2008. I finally had a Dr's appointment to figure out what as going on. After two years of messed up menstral cycles (really the absence of one unless the Dr intervened) it was time to figure out what was really going on so that we could actually start a family of our own. After blood work, an ultrasound, and a general look over, it turns out I have low estrogen. Another blood test confirmed the low estrogen was the problem and to get pregnant that was an easy fix. So we set the next Dr's appointment to talk about going on medicine such as Chlomed to help us along in the process. You know OBGYN offices are always hard to get into, so I had to wait until Mid January until I could get in to see the Dr again.
So Jan 15th rolls around and the big Dr's appointment has finally arrived. I have to go through the history run down with the Dr. She checks me out again and explains to me the process. We'll take a pregnancy test just to make sure and then we'll go through what goes on with the medicine. No surprises here. Every pregnancy test I have taken in the past 2.5 years (well really ANY pregnancy test that I have EVER taken) is negative. NEGATIVE. So I just obliged the request to take pregnancy test awaiting the typical response.
So the nurse is there take the test (what a job, handling a urine filled plastic cup) and we're waiting. She's making small talk and asks me what the Dr said. I was filling her in on how we were taking the test to make sure it was negative and then she would be back in to talk about the medicine. The nurse then proceeds to tell me that we're not going to have to talk about the medicine. "You're pregnant"
WHAT?!?!?! I think my jaw dropped and I said "Are you serious? Are you sure?!?!?" She said "Yep! Two lines means you are pregnant." The Dr came back in and shared with me that she had a feeling I was pregnant when she examined me. (sorry, that may be TMI) So off we went to get an Ultra sound to see how far along I was.
4-5 weeks along I was. Totally in shock. The Dr's office was almost as excited as I was. One lady had the biggest grin and explained that they don't really get to share this moment with anyone, typically people know already when they come in. I certainly had NO IDEA!!!!!!
So here we are. Due Sept 18th. Currently, I am approximately 15-16 weeks along.
