Another Positive
Saturday, August 12, 2006

The reality that I am pregnant is actually beginning to sink in. As we woke up this morning, DH rolled over and said, "Hey, you're pregnant." After I took the test you see there on the left, the pregancy seems even more real to both of us. DH reasoned, "Well, I guess it wouldn't be very likely for you to get 3 false positives in a row." I agreed. In fact, even one "false positive" would be extremely rare. I don't know if it is psychosomatic, but my abdomen does feel bloated and sensitive. Even though my jeans button up relatively easily, I just don't like the feeling of having them buttoned up. I need some lightweight cotton jogging pants! I feel more lethargic than usual and ....... come to think of it, I have been a little constipated for the last week or so. I can't get enough water. We've gone through a case in no time at all and I bought 2 more cases today.

I can't believe it! I have a little person growing inside of me! A clump of cells growing at a miraculous pace is taking shape in my womb and will be out here breathing air with us in 9 months! My mom, my grandma, and my sister all know now. DH tried to call my dad earlier, but there was no answer. We'll try back here in a little bit. It will be funny to hear his reaction, because 3 or 4 years ago DH (remember, he is a little ornery with his sarcastic & dry sense of humor) told my dad that I was pregnant just to get a reaction. I really wasn't pregnant at all, and I felt bad that my dad got excited for a minute. He may have his guard up and think DH is "crying wolf" this time around. Hee hee :)

I know what you mean not wanting to her any downers. I got that from a few "friends" when I first found out. They told me it was too early to really know. That hurt.
