I had a feeling that something was going on with my body....and then the monthly friend never arrived and I really knew. So I took not one, but two home pregnancy tests, two days in a row....just in case, the two days after Christmas. Then called the doctor. PJ met me there, and even though I was fairly certain that the 99% accurate test was correct, it made it even more real to hear it from the doctor!
As early as I am right now, I can definitely already feel some changes in my body. I have the typical tenderness, but these dang headaches hurt a lot (the doctor said it was my body's version of morning sickness - though the quesiness has set in today)! Plus I can feel a lot of movement in my stomach - most likely the muscles expanding and my uterus growing. It is a hard feeling to explain.
We have already started thinking of the next steps - doctors, names, hospitals, etc..... and may have a name or two ready to go! But.....we're not telling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will find out the sex of the baby and share that with you all - you know, so we can plan!
This is a really exciting but overwhelming time. It is amazing how fast your mind starts working when it is REAL!
I took two tests at home to...just in case I got the first one wrong. LOL! I had a good reason though-- the directions were in French. After the two tests, I went to the US for two weeks before returning to France and going to see the doctor. By then I REALLY knew!
