I found out I was pregnant on Wednesday, August 22, 2007 and yes it was total surprise! I had absolutely no idea!! I was shocked more than anything. I couldn't believe the result. I had a million thoughts going through my head! What about school, work, money, how am I gonna tell my job, family, what's gonna happen to my body, etc. I was soooo overwhelmed! I was completely numb with emotion for a long time after that day. I put off calling my doctor for a few weeks cause I was in some sort of denial but more so just being afraid of him confirming the fact that I was expecting.

So, yea, I went about 3 and a half weeks after I found out. At my first visit, I literally showed no emotion. Everyone at his office was congratuating me and I was just like "thanks" but as dry as can be. I thought to myself "these people must think I'm a total jerk; pregnancy is supposed to be such a great experience." I got all my bloodwork req's, bunches of reading material, and of course, my next appointment.

I did all my blood tests as required. In the first set of bloodwork, they checked my progesterone levels. They came back a little low and they called in some progesterone suppositories to my pharmacy. I had no idea of what progesterone was or what roll it played in pregnancy. So, I went to the "good-ole" world wide web and did some reading....WHAT!! I freaked I started crying....called the office when I got myself "together" and asked to speak to a nurse because of what I read on the internet. I guess they noticed I was upset because they called back right away. (They're great with dealing with prenancy "horror-mones"!!) and reassured me that with the suppositories everything will be alright and the placenta was soon to take over and that it was not SOOO low, it was about 2 points lower than what it should have been. In short, this is the day I accepted I was pregnant and realized I had a life growing inside of me and I was totally in love with it.

I head the baby's heartbeat on October 9 (MY BIRTHDAY!!!). It was amazing. I had my doctor appointment at 7:40 in the morning before work. Literally, this was the first thing I had made any contact with, so to speak, on that day!! It was the best birthday present ever!! The rest of the day I was walking on clouds!!
