It's Official!

I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday (8/20/10) was my blood test. I went to the office alone, thinking they would call me later with my pregnancy test results, Yolanda (front desk lady) was surprised when I walked in by myself, apparently, they would give me the results of the blood test right there...I immediately called my hubby, but he said he couldn't make it because he was at McDonalds with no car (drove with work people)...then my heart started racing...I kept thinking, o my gosh, they are going to give me the news, good or bad, and I'm going to be here alone...because He is at McDonalds!!!! I tried to convince him to get them to drop him off but he said it was too late, I should have told him earlier...well I had no idea that they would give us the news on the spot...

So after a very painful blood draw, they had to poke me twice, Connie (my wonderful nurse) told me to go and grab some breakfast, it would take 20 minutes for the blood to process...just as I was walking outside my phone rang...Tyson to the rescue, he was on his way! Thank God!!! I really didn't want to be there alone.

15 minutes later, Connie and Genevieve (my 2 nurses whom I love dearly) walked into the waiting room...my heart started pounding because I thought they both came out to give us bad news, and then Connie said Congratulations and hugged me...that's when the tears flowed...tears of joy...I cried, Connie cried, it was such an emotional moment, all those shots, side affects, and pain became a thing of the past...
It is finally official, 2 home pregnancy tests and 1 blood test later (3 BFPs), we can finally say WE ARE PREGNANT! There is no greater feeling in the world, it was better than being proposed to, sorry babe!

In the afternoon, Connie called back with the results of my beta (test to see how much HCG hormone the babies are creating). It needed to be above a 10 and it was 143...yay!!! This is supposed to keep rising so on Monday I have another blood test. We will also schedule my first ultrasound for a week or so...that's when we find out if it's twins or a singleton. At this point I'm so attached to both of our orange seeds (that's how big they are this week) that I would be sad if we lost one...don't misunderstand, I would still feel so blessed if we just have one.

I can already feel the subtle changes in my body, I can no longer sleep on my stomach because my breasts are so swollen and sensitive, when I'm hungry I feel like I'm starving, and there just aren't enough hours in the day for all the sleep I need. I love feeling all this, it makes it so real.

My potential due date is April 28...which is so ironic to me because the last 3 years I have been a bridesmaid for weddings all at the end of April, which somewhat interfered with tax season, and now I'll be having a baby...I'm starting to think April is my new favorite month!
