Days Since Tuesday

My goal is to keep my pregnancy journal here instead of on paper.  Since I have been so graciously allowed to stay home and grow "Bean" I hope to write something everyday.

Currently I have around 35 weeks to go, this will be confirmed at my appointment in a few weeks.  On tuesday other than the four positive tests I felt fine, no cramps and my backache disappeared.  Wednesday I had cramps that were shockingly strong and the constant low back pain had retuned.   Wednesday was the day that I had my first doctors appointment, that was a disappointment and an aggravation. The urine test at the doctor came back negative, "what! Are you kidding me? Did you use my pee?" I was shocked, angry and then I started second guessing what my body and now five tests had confirmed.  So what does any sensible woman who thinks she is pregnant do? Well she goes and buys more tests... E.P.T, Clearblue and countless others will never go out of business.  Two more tests were positive, one plus sign and two pink lines, for most women that would be enough.  Not for this momma, I took one last DIGITAL test, fool proof in my eyes and this blinked YES as soon as the pee landed(just like that creepy commercial).

In addition to the urine test at the doctor they choose to confirm with a blood test, great for me and bad for me (more waiting).  Daddy B choose to refrain from all the drama that I was putting into "testing" and just wait it out like a typical dude.  I on the other hand called at least eight times before five o'clock and continued to get stonewalled.  I then proceeded to call the lad that did the test, they had the test results but could not release them over the phone...... Ugh at this point I'm about to loose my mind.  Now its time to wait until the NEXT morning to find out what I already knew.

Thursday comes around like its christmas and I waited all year.  Five minutes after the office opens I'm dialing my phone.... waiting, waiting waiting.... Nurse gets on phone and says" congrats, its positive" I reply with "thank you, I told the doctor I was pregnant yesterday" I thank her again and kindly encourage her not to let mommy's wait in the future.  Now that it is confirmed confirmed let the calling begin.  Daddy is finally pleased to know that its the "real deal".  My mom is over the moon excited, My dad on the other hand not so excited, more shocked but who could blame him? Daddy tells a few more family members and friends and thats that for now.  I feel like pure crap today too.  Off to sleep now since I can't get enough of it these days.

4 Weeks and Counting

To those who know me, or those that knew me, I am pregnant..... Yes a shock to all.  Since journalling has become a past and blogging is now the future I figured I should start while I'm still ahead.  As corny as it sounds about two weeks ago I just KNEW.  All signs and symptoms pointed to crazy not pregnant.  Dr Google informed me that there was a two week wait, basically torture until its time to pee on a stick.  Fast forward 10 long days, I could not wait any longer.  Need I remind you all that I am extremely impatient and for crying out loud I already KNEW.... Tuesday rolls around and I decide to take a shot in the dark and try to get an answer(keep in mind I'm still 7, SEVEN whole days early).  Two minutes are up and to my shock and pure excitement two pink lines appear.  After jumping up and down, yes looking liked extremely goofy, but hey no one was home to share my news.  I still wasn't sure, so I set out on a mission to get every test possible.

By now its 3pm, no first morning pee for me, as I have been going every five seconds.  Time to get serious, three different tests laid out on the counter all different brands and all different sensitivities.  Walking away and waiting those awful two minutes was worse than this morning.  Good news, or scary or crap I'm pregnant revealed three more positives!

The first call when to Aunt N, then my Mother, the finally four whole hours later Daddy B came home and I got to share our news.  As far as reactions from the mentioned above: Aunt N was very pleased and I was instructed to be careful, Mother was excited shouted to the ladies in her office "I'm a grandma" and then told me to get a blood test before she got too excited.  Daddy was trickier his excitement came after the shock.  Don't let him fool you, He is just as excited to meet our little "bean" as I am.
