It's positive!

Last week, we flew back to St.Petersburg, as we were getting ready to fly to Costa Rica for my birthday weekend. I scheduled an annual pap appointment at the OB-GYN and during the normal tests, I asked the nurse to also do a pregnancy test. As I sat in the chair while she was taking my blood pressure, she looked at the test and she said it was positive. I couldn't believe it, so I asked her to do another one, and sure enough, that one was also positive.

So there I sat in a paper gown, waiting for the doctor to come in, just totally speechless about what I just heard. I spoke with the doc about it and told her that I was a little nervous because I had fallen down the stairs the previous week, but she assured me that there was nothing to worry about.

Scott picked me up and asked how the appointment went and I told him "we're having a baby!"

We both were so excited, and didn't know what to do. So we just smiled and hugged and were so thankful that we were going to be parents.

We went back later in the afternoon for an ultrasound, just to confirm that the pregnancy test was really true. However, the prior two weeks, I started feeling different, with lots of cramping, soreness and very tired. We saw the tiny sac inside the uterus and confirmed that we were definitely HAVING A BABY!
