Continued....
Like every week, Monday morning came. I went to work for a few hours - then rushed to the doctors. I KNEW it, but I needed confirmation. As the nurse makes me stand on the scale (yuck), takes my temp, blood pressure.....she said- "so, why are you here," and I said "well, I think I am pregnant," and she said "you gotta pee??" (kinda ghetto, but hey, its Durham)
I was chugging water all morning because I knew peeing in a cup was going to be a mandatory event - and I was ready!!! She passed me my TINY clear cup and showed me the ladies room. I was so clam and collected ....but then STAGE FREIGHT. I got pretty nervous sitting there - holding that cup. Luckily that did not last too long :) I passed the nurse my cup-o-pee and took a seat. Mmmmm, about 2 seconds later the Nurse comes waltzing in and hands me our fate - BOOM- POSITIVE! Again, the words "Holy Shit" feel right out of my mouth. Then, I got very pale and my jaw hit the floor... and then I started giggling. :)
My doctor was so excited for me. I've been seeing her since I moved to NC in 2007, so she knows me pretty darn well. Turns out she is preggers too. I asked lots of questions, got a script for a prenatal vitamin and had some blood work done just to be EXTRA positive.
I called J to tell him the news (he asked for a phone call, or I would have waited until we were face to face...don't judge) and he was speechless :)
