For the past couple of weeks I've felt tired and sluggish. I thought I needed to get back to the gym since it has been a while. I knew there was a possibility of being pregnant, but really didn't believe that was it. None the less, I decided I would test on Mother's Day since I thought that would make a great Mother's Day present.
Sunday 5.10.09...Will woke up early to go see his aunt Susan. I decided to stay home that way if the test was negative, I could have some time to myself to deal with it. I finally rolled out of bed around 8:30am. I took the test and before the results came back, I called mom to wish her a happy mothers day. I figured if I called her before the results, I couldn't tell her! After hanging up with mom, I walked back to the bathroom and read the results. Now for those who don't know, most tests give you 1-2 lines as an indicator. Well this one was one of those fancy digital ones, it was free with 2 line tests, that actually says "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant". So when I read the stick...it said "Pregnant". My first thought was "where's the not?!" Then I got so excited, I actually danced around for about 2 seconds and then immediately called my best friend Rhonda.
Rhonda of course was excited and mentioned taking another one just to convince Will. So I drove to Wal-Greens, bought another pack of 2 and also picked up a recordable card for mom. As we know, the second test was positive as well!
When Will got home from visiting his aunt, I showed him the results and he gave me a high-five and said "good job, you did it"! Typical Will response! After that, he called his aunt to tell her and then some other family. Most of his family lives in Philly so phone calls had to do.
For my mom, I decided I wanted to tell her in person. So with the recordable card in hand, Will and I recorded the message, "Happy Mother's Day, Grandma!" And I was still asking "where's the not?"
We go for an ultra-sound on Monday (5.18) to confirm how far along I am. Right now they think about 7 weeks, but we will know for sure on Monday. We also get to hear the baby's heartbeat!!
On a side note, for the name, Baby Winny Bean...the girls at work call me Winny (for my last name), and they say there is a bean growing inside of me, so Baby Winny Bean, kind of stuck. Strange, I know, but you gotta love Amber, Falon, Cathi and Lindsey!

Amazing isn't it? What a difference 3 weeks makes. The changes between 6 weeks and 9 weeks is unbelievable. I wish this was common practice when I was pregnant. Oh..... but that was _ _ years ago.
ReplyDeleteWe Love that baby already. Can't wait till next photo session.
Love Mom and Mike
