The Drama Part 1

I should start by saying that I am pretty psyched but also losing my tiny mind that I will jinx myself by telling the story on internet or pretty much telling anyone.

I will start back at the beginning...

I couldn't resist taking a home pregnancy test. I did manage to hang on until the Monday or Tuesday I can't really remember now. I woke up at like 5 in the morning dying to pee so I took the test. I left the bathroom and stood at the end of our bed watching Sim sleep and the clock tick past 3 minutes. Those were some of the longest 3 minutes of my life. When I picked up the stick I thought I saw a faint positive. I was pretty sure but then again who the heck knows because I have taken like 50 pregnancy tests before thought I saw a positive but we all know it was negative.

By now Simon seem to notice I wasn't in bed and started to wake up. He asked me if everything was okay and I couldn't resist. I HAD to ask him what he saw. He said it looked positive to him. I cried and he rolled over and went back to sleep. I just laid there staring at the ceiling with a million thoughts running through my head.

That was the start of the Great Home Pregnancy Test Marathon of 2012. I took one every morning and every night just to make sure everything was still there. By the time I was done I had taken over 12 home pregnancy tests. I'm not to admit how many I have actually taken but let's just say I need a 12 step program.

I had my first beta on February 13th with results in the 990's. I had sore boobs, I was exhausted beyond belief, and starting to feel a little queasy. Keeping the secret was hard but we also knew a lot could still go wrong. We repeated the beta on the 20th with results in 9,000.

Then a lot changed on that Thursday. I started spotting at school. There are no words for the panic that set in or the drama that followed. We rushed to the doctor's office and begged for a scan. They drew more blood and finally gave in to the crazy lady demanding an ultra sound. That scan was one of the best moments ever. Despite bleeding we saw one yolk sac that looked exactly like it should in a great position. Leith kept scanning and we saw something else but couldn't really be sure what it was. It didn't look like the first yolk sac and we would just have to wait. So started the first lot of bed rest.
