I was supposed to start my menstrual cycle on/around Thanksgiving..I have been known to be a few days late..but never a week..so 6 days after Thanksgiving..and not having a period..I was convinced by my best friend to take a test..but I wasn't really worried because its normal for me to be a few days late. SO...I gave in..I went and bought two cheap pregnancy test from Dollar General..each only a $1..I took one that night (Thursday, November 28th, 2007) The line that would determine if I were pregnant or not..was faint (when I looked at it) I immediately called my friend Michelle, who is also pregnany, and in my shaky voice told her she would have to look at this..I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I took it to her house and by the time I had gotten there..that line was NOT faint. It was for sure a positive. So I waited until the next day (Friday, November 29th, 2007) I took the 2nd one (from Dollar General) and the like was faint again..at first..This one, however; took way longer to be clear...so we went to Wal-Mart and got a more expensive 3 pack. My best friend took one to be funny..and I took one..and there it was...3 tests..all positive..I won't be going to the dr until next friday...

So, in case all of you don't know..Missouri is having major ice storms right now..so I didn't have to work today due to no electricity at my job. They have had no electricity for 38 hours now..I was headed to the dr on my day off Friday but since I was off today I decided to go ahead and get it done..I called the Health Clinic in my county and no nurses had shown up for work due to weather..so we ( best friend & I) called 3 other clinics in surrounding counties finding that only ONE was open..so we drove 30-45 min to "confirm" my pregnancy..as if 4 home preg tests were not enough LOL..I went there..filled out paperwork..peed in a cup..and the nurse put a dropper full of my urine in the test...set the timer for 2 minutes..assuming that by 2 minutes the test will fully determine a + or - ....so after setting the timer..she ask me 1 quick question.."if you are preg, is this going to be your first pregnancy" I said yes..and right after that..mind you its only been like 20 seconds..she says "Well congratulations..you're pregnant" Not that I didn't already know..but I was just amazed as how quickly it showed up that I was preg..so to let all you here on this lovely site of mine to know..its official..I'll be a mommy soon...that's how my day went...

Here I am again..but with more news..I had my dr appointment yesterday..and there really is a baby in there.. :) There really was not much to it..I had to fill out a little paperwork because it was my first time being at that office..then I had to give a urine sample. After this, the nurse came in and took my blood pressure which was 118/80...She told me that the Dr. would probably do a vag u/s and get a good picture and a heartbeat..The Dr. came in and sure enough..I got a vag u/s and saw the booger on the screen..I didn't get to hear a heartbeat tho.. I posted my u/s pictures under my photos..check them out..
