Due Date...

After the two pregnancy tests confirming I was pregnant, I wanted to get into the doctor to know for sure. Thursday I called to talk to talk to one of the nurses and she said they would call if they wanted to see me. Dr. Vita called later that afternoon and I scheduled an appointment for Friday after school. 

Friday afternoon, I went to the lab and gave them a urine sample. I went up to OB and they called me in. It was one of the few times I didn't have to get weighed and measured before hand! Yay! 

I waited in the room until I heard a knock on the door. Dr. Vita walked in and said, "Congratulations! You're pregnant!"

I know I was smiling and said thank you, but I was feeling about 20 different things at the time. No one had said those words to me yet. I'm pregnant.... In that moment I thought: What do I do now? I have been wanting this for so long. :)  There is actually a baby in there. I don't really feel that different. Is she going to want me to get on the table? I wanted this. It worked! Should I be smiling bigger? How does this work? Wait a minute, do I really want this? Yes, yes I do. A little late to think about that Val. Holy CRAP. I'm Pregnant! Ahhh!!!

She continued to tell me what to do next. I won't be having an ultrasound or anything until week 20. That seems so long from now. 

We need to schedule a time to meet with Dr. Fox who is going to talk with Jason and I for about an hour about things like: How my body is going to change and how this is going to effect our wallets! She will be able to answer all of our questions. 

Then I need to set up an appointment with Dr. Wallner who will be my Doc through pregnancy. She is going to do a physical and blood work and answer any other questions we may have. 

The last thing she did was let me know when the baby would be due.

According to her handy due date wheel, Baby Seath is due to arrive on June 4th. 

Our lives are never going to be the same... 

Telling Jason he's going to be a Papa! :)

I took a pregnancy test first thing Thursday morning and it was positive!  :) I had heard that there is no such thing as a false positive pregnancy test so I knew it was true! My body's been telling me something has been going on for the last week too. While I was teaching, I would have moments of dizziness and I could only eat a small amount at meals or I would become nauseous. 

I wanted to be sure, so I took another test that night from a different brand and that too was positive! 

I wanted to do a little more than just tell Jason in person. I decided to go to the store and find some kind of daddy shirt. I found a gender friendly t-shirt that said, "My First Twins Shirt." It was so small and adorable and we both LOVE the MN Twins. -Perfect. (I also found a lil onesie that said, "My Momma's a Rockstar." I got that too!) As I was in that section it hit me. I had no idea what half of the items and crazy looking contraptions were for! -Wow. I have a lot to learn. 

Anyway, I brought the t-shirt home and put it in a tin container so it would look like chocolates, one of Jason's favorite things. I wrapped both pregnancy tests up in tissue paper and put them below the t-shirt. There was a card I found that said, You and Me on the front and was blank on the inside. I wrote these words inside... "Are having a baby!" along with a bunch of other gushy things ;). I put the card on top of the tin with the words, I hope your week gets better on it. He had pool very late Thursday night so I put it on his pillow for when he got home. :) 

I went to bed and woke up to his big hug and him saying, "So I guess we're are having a baby?"  

:) 

Finding out...

Jason and I have been trying to get pregnant for a couple months now and this time, we made it happen!! I missed my period and was over a week late. I had gone through about 7 pregnancy tests, testing nearly every day and finally on Thursday morning, I took a test and it was positive! :) 

We have had the week from hell. 

Monday- I had food poisoning and Jason was home sick with a fever and body aches. 

Tuesday- Jason went to the doctor and the Doc told him he has SHINGLES! 

Wednesday- Jason was turning in some paperwork for a new job he is applying for and totaled the car!

The week takes a turn for the better... 

Thursday- We were hoping for a normal day, uneventful day. I took a pregnancy test and we are pregnant!  

Friday- Went to the doctor and she confirmed the pregnancy. :) We went to Barnes and Noble (one of my FAVORITE places) and browsed books in the expected parents section. Jason and I went out to dinner at The Olive Garden and spent the ride there, all of our time at B & N, dinner and the ride home talking about how excited, scared, nervous, and happy we are. 

What a week! Bottom line, we are pregnant and excited!
