Pregnant! Pregnant?! Yep, Pregnant.



So, yes I peed on the thing to the left. Gross to you, but thrilling for me! I can't believe this happened. I mean I can but I can't. Anyway I saw two doctors already this week. Doctor "A" was an absolute nightmare. After waiting 2 hours (at a family practice, not the ER) I was seen for 5 minutes, during which he took a call on his cell. I asked him a question about whether or not it would be safe to go to Disneyland early in my pregnancy and he said "I wouldn't, but I don't know how much you want this pregnancy." ANYWAY, moving on to Doctor "B" she was fantastic! She was very happy to see me, excited that this is my first pregnancy, gave great information and told me to call her any time. She confirmed my pregnancy and wrote the ever essential referral letter allowing me to go to the OBGYN. My first appointment there will be on June 26.

So, here's how I found out I am preggers.

Over the week of May 25-28 I was up in the Bay Area visiting my parents. On May 24 (Sunday) I ate some eggs, and promptly threw them up. I thought nothing of it, except that maybe I ate bad eggs. While in the Bay Area I was fine, a little fatigued on some days, but on the day of my flight home I was exhausted. I went out for lunch with my mom and Stephanie, and it was my second meal that week in which I turned down sushi due to an upset tummy. After our yummy lunch of crepes, I threw up. In the restaurant bathroom. Awkward. Then I was so tired I just wanted to sleep for hours. By this day (thursday) I was a day or so late on my expected monthly visit. That night I told Kevin about some odd symptoms I was experiencing. He suggested I take a test the following morning. Well, Friday morning I chickened out. By Saturday morning(May 30) I had spent the entire night dreaming about taking the test (positive in every dream) and needing to pee so bad. The box said to use first morning urine, and I could hardly sleep. Finally at 4:45am I decided I couldn't wait any longer. I went to the bathroom and took the test. They recommend you wait 3 minutes for a result, and my test showed positive before I could count to 5. I was shocked. I got back into bed, and Kevin asked what was going on. I looked at him and said "I'm pregnant." To which he said "right now? you're pregnant right now?" I said "yes." He pulled me onto his chest and said "I'm so excited, I love you." Good answer. We couldn't fall back to sleep and spent the next hour and a half laying in the dark talking. That is also when I took this picture on my phone.
