Not so fast! My suspicion started when I had a doctor appointment with my personal care physician on Thursday, March 14, 2013. I had been having asthma issues and this was my first time seeing him in years! I was seeing another doctor, however, I just didn't like her. Pregnancy came up in conversation and he looked at me funny and said, "you sure you're not pregnant " I immediately said, "no!" I felt my period coming on so I thought nothing of it. That night, I had the most vivid dream. I went through the entire 9 months, gave birth to a baby girl and brought her home-that. was. weird. I figured my period was late due to my new way of eating-Paleo- natural, non processed foods and my heavy involvement in Cross Fit the last 7 weeks.
Saturday, March 16, 2013. I worked that day. Still no period. I felt so incredibly crampy so I knew it was coming! I was going to the bathroom almost every hour, but nothing! It wasn't like normal cramps though. I mentioned to Dan maybe I shouldn't drink till I knew for sure there was no chance of being pregnant. We went out for St. Patrick's Day that night at Horny Goat. I had one drink, then stopped. I just had a gut feeling. We ended up ending the night early, I was tired. We went home, ate and went to bed.
Sunday, Marc 17, 2013. Still no period. I was on day 31. I was ALWAYS on time since I was young. I dropped Dan and his friend off at Mulligans, our favorite Irish Bar, around 12:30. I then went to Woodman's Grocery Store. I was in a daze the entire time. I needed some answers. I shopped, went home, put all the groceries a way and went to Walgreen's. I grabbed two different pregnancy tests: EPT and First Response. I was never more scared in my life! It took me a good 10 minutes after I got home to get the nerve to actually do the test. I did the digital one first. Within 2 minutes, it gave me an answer "pregnant". I barely looked at it and immediately started crying. My first thought was my sister's wedding. I didn't want to "trump" her in any way. This was in no way planned. We had planned on this being our year to take our tropical trip and do what we wanted to do. I paced the kitchen and living room for a while. After 10 minutes, I drank more water and tested again. This time it was the kind where you see two lines...and there were two lines. I calmed myself down as it settled in. "Okay" I thought.
I picked up Dan from Mulligans around 5:00. After we dropped Dan's friend off he asked if I had my period yet. I had brought the two tests with me. I dug them out of my purse and showed him. The look on his face was priceless. "you're pregnant?" He said with a smile. We talked most of the night about how in shock we were.
So here I am! I have an EDD of November 22. My goal is to work out at Cross Fit for as long as I can and eat as cleanly as I can during these nine months. My Doctor's appointment will be at exactly 8 weeks on April 12.
