the first posting

hello, blogging world. i've started many-a-blogs trying to think of various different topics to write about, but this has got to be the most important: my marriage, my husbad, and my newly discovered baby in my belly. :)

on tuesday, july 3rd, jeff and i decided to take a pregnancy test because i was late, and it came up positive! i was still not a believer, so later that day after dinner, i took a second pregnancy test...and it was also positive! we then called both our parents to tell them the news. i think secretly i was still quite in disbelief, but on wednesday when we went to the waterpark (4th of july!), i stayed careful and quiet.

today, thursday, the 5th of july, i went to the tmc to get an official test to find out if i was really pregnant or not. i gave my sample to the lab and told her i'd wait for the results. she told me to check with the front desk to find out the results in about 15-20 minutes. as the time ticked by, my heart started racing and i wondered what the results would be. when the clock hit 15 minutes, i went up to the front desk and asked for the results. the only think the desk clerk told me was that i needed to see the doctor. i knew that was a good indication that i was pregnant, but i did everything not to show how excited i really was. i sat back down with a grin and waited for the doc. when the doc called my name, it was the doctor i had just spoken with regarding fertility and she was surprised to see me. i thought she had already seen the results, but apparently she hadn't because she asked what i was there for. after explained that i thought i was pregnant, she was really excited and checked the results. when the screen came up, there was a large print of "POSITIVE" next to the HCG hormone in my lab results. she turned to me and said CONGRATULATIONS! i was sooooooooooooo excited!!!

now i have to make my first prenatal appointment to find out exactly when i got pregnant so i can start dating my pregnancy. my due date is 4 march 08!

I'M SO EXCITED!!! i can't wait to hear its first heartbeat.

i'm pregnant!
