Ultrasound results....

Drum roll please......... NUMBER OF BABIES DUE IN FEBRUARY???


ONE!

Had the ultrasound this afternoon, all appears to be well, one baby heart beat at 167 beats per minute, measuing on time.... phew!

It would have been great to have twins, but one healthy baby is all a girl could ask for!

Measuring 10+

I had my first REAL doctors appointment yesterday, the previous one was just a booking appointment, nothing was accomplished.

So after the requisite question and answer session, there was the exam.

The doc asks when was your LMP (last mentral period) I answer with May 11th . He says hmmmmm you are measuring about 10+ weeks and you are only about 7. We need to book you in for an ultrasound to rule out TWINS!!

There was a faint laugh followed by "what??" are you serious? and he says well it could be that you are measuring big, but we need to make sure.... I have a huge smile on my face, it is part joy and a part PANIC!!

So begins a very long wait until the 14th to see if there is one baby or two...

A Week Later

It has been a week since the first pregnancy test, and I feel like I am keeping the biggest secret ever. I can't help think how every person I speak to will react. This past week I have had to turn down alcoholic drinks 3 times, and I feel like every time I say "no thanks" they will KNOW!!

I have joined a couple of message boards just so that I can talk to someone about this pregnancy. Fiancé and I are really excited about this baby, but part of me wishes it happened a few months from now... As superficial as this seems I am really worried about my wedding dress fitting. This pregnancy is something I have wanted for over 5 years, and I am feeling so blessed that is has happened but at the same time apprehensive. I work in a really small office, how much will this news affect them? I know that isn't my priority, but it worries me. Fiancé isn't so secure in his employment situation at the moment, being on sabbatical and working on his CGA. So Money in the new year worries me. My parents will be happy but I know my mom will be disappointed that it didn't happen after the wedding. I know my sisters will be happy for me, they recently confided to me that they will be trying to add to their families in the fall. A week before I peed on the stick my sister actually said "Can you imagine if the three of us were all pregnant at the same time?? That would be crazy!"

Well this life of mine is crazy. So much has happened in my life in the last year, and I am truly blessed by all of it.

Positive Pregnancy Test

Wednesday 8:00pm - I do not feel well, Boobs hurt, feel weird twinges in my stomach, have cramps, thinking that Aunt Flo is on her way but on a whim take an old pregnancy test I know I have hidden in the bathroom and pee on it.

Wednesday 8:02pm - 2 lines show up, I freak out all by myself in the bathroom, look for Fiancé and discover he is in the shower. I do not want ML to hear this, so in I walk into the bathroom and with the test in hand say " I am Pregnant!?!?!" Fiancé kisses me and says "Are you serious?" I show him the test and say "umm yeah! according to this I am!"

Wednesday 8:30 - Fiancé finally done in the shower, (no idea what took him so long... don't want to know either) he comes down stairs and says he doesn't really believe it... it was an old test they cannot be reliable... I tell him how hard it is to get a false positive but don't feel well enough to argue.

Thursday 5:00pm - just home from work. I went and bought a few more tests to prove to doubting Thomas (aka Fiancé,) that the first was correct. Choose different brand and show him the expiry dates, and the big ol' + on the pee stick...

Fiancé believes me now and is over moon, and offering AWFUL name suggestions.

Due Date from the Computer is February 18, 2010.
My first doctor's appointment is June 22nd.

This blog will be the story of the arrival of the New Baby at Chez Former Single Mom
