My mood while writing this blog: Relieved

So here is my story. Since last summer i have been having problems with having abnormal paps. Last summer i had a procedure done to remove pre-cancerous cells from my cervix...not fun! The doctor told me that the cells were so severe that i was on the verge of cervical cancer...so scary but very thankful that they caught before it went that far. When i went for a follow-up pap in December it was abnormal but my doctor told me to come back in 4-6 months to re-check. I went in the beginning of June (not knowing of course that i was pregnant) and got another pap done. This came back abnormal and my doctor said she wanted to do a colposcopy. Well...a week later a found out i'm pregnant and i had to change doctors. They didnt want to do anything in the 1st trimester. Knowing that my cervix could have problems during the pregnancy really was making me upset and stressing me out. 2 weeks ago i went to the doctor for an ultrasound and a pap. I hadnt heard anything so i decided to call today and they told me it came back negative!!! I am so excited and relieved. I'm wondering if the prego hormones helped to get rid of the bad cells. Or...maybe my little angel in my belly is helping me out :) Either way right now i feel like a weight has been lifted off of me. I may not be completely out of the woods yet as they will probably do another pap in a few months. For now i am just going to have faith that i will be ok and that my lil peanut will be healthy.

By the way i really wish my baby belly would pop but i think i have a while. The doctor said that since i'm so tall (5'10") that i wont show till like 18-20 weeks because there is more room in me for my uterus to stretch. Oh well i will just be patient. I unfortunately have gained like 10 pounds. The good thing is nobody is really noticing. I guess my height is working towards my advantage.

I hope everyone has a great day.
