Since everyone seems to have a blog on this site, I decided to switch over! Mainly because the current site I use to blog doesn't allow me to edit the layout or templates lol. I am working on copying and pasting all of my previous blogs onto this one, then I will continue blogging on this site. Each blog I am importing is a letter to my baby after the doctor's appointments.
To start things off, I guess I'll go back 5 months to January 15, 2010. This is the day I found out I was pregnant with my little girl. I had been feeling strange for over a month, and had the feeling I was pregnant. I guess you could call it intuition, or chalk it up to really wanting to have a baby! My fiance and I had talked about the possibility of being pregnant, and although we didn't plan on having kids anytime soon [or even at all..it actually crossed my mind to never have a baby!] we decided that if I was pregnant, we would be ecstatic! I took tests every week for the whole month of December, I had missed my period that month and was starting to feel really tired, and nauseous all the time. Every time I took a test, I was extremely disappointed with the single pink line! I knew what I was feeling, and I couldn't understand why it wasn't showing up. I started thinking something may be wrong with me. We went to Las Vegas for New Years Eve, and I took a test the night before we left. It was negative, so I decided to have a good time, and stop worrying for the weekend. I knew that even if I was pregnant it was way too early to do any harm to the baby, and I was truly convinced that it was all in my head at this point.
The days after we came home I felt like I had a permanent hangover, or the flu. I could barely get out of bed, and only made it to the couch once I was up. I could barely eat, and felt really tired. I had quit smoking, and was wearing a patch, so I figured maybe I was having a reaction to it, especially after throwing up 5 times one day. I stopped wearing the patch, and took another test a few days later. I was insanely surprised when I saw two very distinct pink lines pop up almost immediately.
I walked into the bedroom saying "Oh my god, oh my god..wow". My fiance sorta laughed at me, and told me that I shouldn't be surprised since we had been expecting it. It was still a shock!!! I immediately called my insurance, and scheduled an appointment to see a doctor. I had missed my period 2 months in a row, so I thought I was already pretty far along.
We then proceeded to go to his moms house and tell her we were expecting, and she was a little surprised, but not shocked since she already has 4 grandkids. She told us to take another test to be sure, although I knew without a doubt that the first test was 100 percent positive. We stopped and bought another test, and this time my fiance stood with my while we watched the lines appear. Instantly, 2 dark pink lines popped up. My moms reaction on the other hand, wheeeew. She was extremely shocked, and slightly upset. The typical mom deal, worried about our finances and how we would be able to take care of this little miracle. She came around a few weeks later, and is now looking forward to her first grand baby!
The week between the positive test and the doctor's appointment seemed to take months to pass.
