~ expecting ~

12 October 2006

so, we figured out why i was in such pain last week. it turns out that i’m pregnant! yay! how exciting!

yes, i’m expecting!

so, on Monday, i went to the OBGYN. after a blood sample and a shot of hormone, i found out that i might be pregnant. ari was ecstatic. however, the pregnancy was so early that the little one didn’t show up on the ultrasound scan.

on Wednesday, i went back to the doctor to get my blood sample taken again, to make sure that i am really pregnant.

today, which is Thursday, i got another hormone shot (butt hurt, ouch!) and the confirmation that i am on my 4th week.

next week, i’m going to go for another ultrasound and see if this time we can see the little one.

wish us luck!

thalia | 19 October 2006 - 03:44 | reply

DEFINETLY good luck. If anything that you’ll not worry. Although, I think that’s next to impossible once you find out.

I remember finding out, at what would have been six weeks. I couldn’t get it confirmed by a doctor until 12 weeks, almost 13. The rest of my time spent in the US was filled with worry. Why this wasn’t hurting or why I wasn’t quite as sick. Something had to be wrong.

But nope, so far so good and nearly half way through. Yet I still worry. Not at all concerned or worried about what will happen afterwards, just now … I dare say because I can’t see it.

But yes! CONGRATULATIONS! and goodluck!

manda | 20 October 2006 - 12:54 | reply

12 weeks? oh, no! that’s a long wait! i’d go crazy is i had to wait that long!

but you’re sooo right. right now, all i do is worry. sometimes i think it’s too good to be true. sometimes, it’s too painful to be right.

so, thank you for sharing the story. i can’t wait to have belly like yours :D
