Pregnancy so far...

Alright, time to get everyone up to date since I've waited 10 whole weeks to start this thing!

I found out I was pregnant on Friday, August 15th, the last day of summer vacation. I decided to take a test to rule out pregnancy, because I didn't think for a second that I was actually pregnant. I will never forget the elation I felt when I saw that plus sign! I started crying because I was so excited, and I left the test in the bathroom and went to do something else to keep my hands busy. That was pretty pointless, because in a matter of about 10 minutes, I went back into the bathroom about 20 times too look at it again, certain that I was an idiot and I had read it wrong. I guess I'm smart enough to read a plus sign, because it was confirmed each time I went to check. Did I think it was going to change it's mind? Who knows.

When Terry got home from work, I sat him down and told him he was probably going to be a dad. I was once again questioning my abilities to pee on a stick, thinking it was just too good to be true. I decided that I needed to pee on another stick to confirm everything, so I ran to Walgreen's (for the second time that day) and bought another test. Definitely positive. I'm pretty sure Terry still didn't believe me though, and wanted to hear it from a licensed medical professional, who is better at reading the results of peeing on a stick. =)

I made an appointment for Monday afternoon (I still can't figure out why they couldn't see me that day, when I called on Friday afternoon at 4:30!) That was the most nerve wracking weekend! I spent some time with my parents on that Sunday, and keeping my mouth shut was the hardest thing I've ever done! I wanted to tell them SO badly, but I knew I should wait until it was confirmed by a doctor.

Stay tuned for more in the peeing on a stick saga!

Yay for you starting a blog! I'm new to this too. :) Don't feel bad about the 2 tests...we took 3 and then the 4th was at the dr.'s office. I was sure I had read the lines wrong so I bought one with the words that literally spelled it out for me. We found out on a Saturday morning so I understand the difficulty keeping ones mouth shut all weekend till that next Monday! So excited about Baby Timberlake!! Be sure to post pics on your progress. :)
