SURPRISE!

In the beginning of March 2016, I began to not feel well. Dizzy, light-headed, EXHAUSTED, nauseous. I know, I know - all signs of pregnancy! That was my first thought, as well. Not having a OB in the town I live in, and not wanting to drive to mine, I was forced to go find one here that I liked! I asked around the office and got some recommendations. I made appointments at two, just in case... a girl needs options, right!?

Well, in the mean time, I had to go to work. I was miserable. I was throwing up multiple times a day and working for a company that has quite a few employees made it hard to be discrete in the office! I would feel like I was going to get sick and go into a bathroom stall.. someone walks in. So, I flush the toilet (even though I didn't even use it), wash my hands and head to the next bathroom - praying the WHOLE way there that there was no one in there! I quickly found out which bathroom has less traffic and that became my go-to-bathroom. That is, until, lunch time. That quiet bathroom became busy with lunch worker-outers. I mean, it had the lockers in it! So, I prayed to not get sick during lunch time!

The smells at work were SO disgusting. I would walk in the front door and smell the coffee that was being brewed in the back of the building. I would walk by the "smokers door" to go to the back and would get nauseous from the smell of the smoke (that I never was able to smell before). My husbands work clothes grossed me out as soon as he got in the car! I was miserable.

Both of my appointments were scheduled for March 16th. I had taken a home pregnancy test on March 3rd, with positive results and again on March 5th - I had to be sure - with positive results! I felt like the 16th was a long time to wait to just confirm my pregnancy. I called one back and they could get me in on the 9th, so to them I went. I walked in, filled out some paperwork, waited (literally) two minutes, was called back, peed in a cup and sat in her office with my husband. About a minute later she came in and said "Congratulations! You are definitely pregnant!". The look on my husbands face = priceless! I pleaded my case begged and begged and begged and she gave me some nausea medicine and got my prescription for prenatals and it was a done deal.

I did not plan on it being that quick, so I had taken the afternoon off from work. It was so nice to have the time with just my husband, to let it sink in. I mean, I had already known, as did he, but it was still crazy to hear from a doctor. All day we kept talking about it. 

As we had a miscarriage previously (March 10, 2015), we tried to not get too excited, but I knew I was already further along with this one than the last and it was a pretty good feeling. While still no where near the clear - we are anxious and excited, but also cautious and trying to not get too excited quite yet.

Oh, Baby Donald, you have NO idea how loved and prayed for you already are.
