What a crazy week it has been! Last Monday I went for a small walk and noticed I had started spotting. It didn't really phase me because I thought it was just normal pregnancy symptoms. I decided to walk home just to be safe. By the time I had gotten home it had started to get heavy and I thought for sure I was having a miscarriage. I did not think this would happen and I was so upset. I called Alex, who was on his way home after another one of our weekends, and told him that I was pretty sure that was what was going on.
Alex came back and we went to the emergency room. They took some blood to test my HCG levels and did an ultrasound. There was a yolk sac and that seemed to be a good sign bu that was it. My HCG levels were right on target so they told me to wait a few days and test them again at my doctor's office. I played the waiting game to see what would happen and by Thursday which was Alex's birthday I decided I needed to get my HCG levels checked to see what was going on, so I did. What an awesome birthday gift... NOT! We did not receive the results until today and I had basically prepared myself for the worst. When my doctor called me she told me that my HCG levels were still going up and that I was not miscarrying. I was so happy and hearing that was so unexpected.
I have my first appointment on July 7th. I can't wait!

Oh, baby!
Positive thoughts, please! [:
I have been feeling really weird lately and today I finally put two and two together and took a home pregnancy test, which was really convenient because I actually had a doctor's appointment today and while there I confirmed what was about to come.
I have been on this weight loss kick because I am obviously not happy with my body. I always say if only I could get back to my high school size which was a size 11. I remember in high school being that size and everyone telling me how thin I was but all I could think was that I was still fat and needed to lose weight. If I could go back in time I would smack myself because I would kill to be that size again.
Anyways...
I have been going for walks almost every day and going for about an hour at a time and for the past few days I have always had to cut it short and come home early because I would feel so nauseous. I would come home, lay on the couch and drink water until I was cooled down and still feel the urge to become sick. I basically shrugged it off as the heat until this morning.
This morning I woke up feeling like I needed to run to the bathroom and suddenly it hit me. My boyfriend was over for his usual weekend slumber party and I just thought, "Maybe I am pregnant." For whatever reason, despite going to the bathroom to see if I would truly get sick I did not use the bathroom so I still had that delightful morning pee in me. I had an emergency pregnancy test hanging around that I thought I would never use and decided to use it.
I went into the bathroom, did my business and waited. I did not have to wait long because less than ten seconds later I had my BIG FAT POSITIVE!!
I seriously didn't know what to think but I do know I was very excited and scared at the same time. I kept thinking, "Oh my God, I am pregnant" and "What if something goes wrong?" I'm such a worrier but I took it and hoped for the best.
I went to the doctor that day and sure enough she confirmed it again that I was indeed pregnant. She said I was due around February 14th, 2012. Valentine's Day. [: I always wanted a February or October baby so I could not be more excited.
