Today is May 19th, but I'm going to start logging things along the way. So I'm going to go back a couple of days to last Wednesday night.
On Wednesday, May14th, I had been working for Carrie McHargue and she noticed the Facebook posts I had been posting about other people having babies and how excited I was for them. She asked if I wanted to take a pregnancy test, jokingly. I said no thanks because I was like 'no way!'. That same night Clint warmed up some left overs from the previous nights dinner. It was a dish I usually LOVE, Salisbury Steaks and Mashed Potatoes~!! But it made me so sick to my stomach to even smell it!!!! Then later on he had a snack of Nutty Bars, and again, I couldn't stand the aroma. Again, later on he had some cheddar cheese Pringle's and I about threw up. He told me to take a test the next morning.. So I did...
I didn't really think anything of it, of course. Because it's never been positive before and I was kind of naive thinking 'yeah right, not me'. But of course, I look up and there were TWO SOLID PINK LINES on that bad boy! I was flooded with so many emotions. First surprise, disbelief and excitement and then fear and anxiety. It was already a roller coaster of emotions before the actual hormones got to flowing! I called Clint to tell him the news, he was so shocked that he didn't say too much which in turn made me more nervous. He has warmed up since the initial new flash. ;)
I then texted my sister to see if she could come over, and she did. She found the test on top of the sink as planned and she sort of had the same response of understated happiness and quiet shock.
I have only known for 5 days, but it feels so much longer!
My mother-in-law threw one of my bridal showers on Saturday the 17th of May. I had a very difficult time not spilling the beans to the whole party. I did however, tell Elizabeth, Sam Hyde, and Pam and Lindsay that day! All were so excited for us. :) I was so exhausted that day, especially after the shower. So make it even worse, I was nauseous the whole morning before the shower, dry heaving but not able to throw up. :/ Yuck.
Since noticing my dislike for certain foods, I've also noticed I hate the smell of peanut butter as well.
So then, today May 19th, I called Pam and we went to my first doctor appointment at Dr. Markets office in Terre Haute. Dr. Market wasn't available until Thursday so we saw a Nurse Practitioner, Williams. I feel really comfortable with her and confident in her advise. She asked a lot of questions about medications and allergies, substance usages. She then listened to my lungs and felt my abdomen a bit. She said that I look and sounds like I should and that everything appears normal. She gave me guess on how far I am, 6-7 weeks.. I was thinking like 3-4 weeks. I am farther along than I thought.. I'm so pumped!!!!
Then I was taken to get some blood drawn for the blood pregnancy test. I thought I would just have to do a urine test, but the blood is more accurate. I though it would have been worse than it was since I have never had blood drawn or anything remotely close to it. It was a cake walk! The lady took a single vial of blood and said that I will be receiving a phone call tomorrow sometimes. Boy, I hope it's early in the morning and not later so that I don't have to wait too long!!!
That catches us up to today! It's been a crazy 5 days. So many emotions and thoughts.
I have so many questions and things in my head. Will it be a boy or a girl, will I have multiples, what kind of delivery will I end up with, where will I be when my water breaks (if it does!), what hospital will I plan to go to work labor, what about downs syndrome?! So much..
UPDATES AS THEY COME! <3
