That would be a POSITIVE!

Today I had my appointment with my primary doctor, Dr. Avison, to confirm our pregnancy. I took 3 tests at home last week, so I knew what the results would be today. But I have to admit, I was a little scared! After I gave my "sample" for the nurst to test, I waited patiently in the waiting room to be called back to talk to the doctor. I watched the nurses behind the counter whispering to each other and I became paranoid... Uh oh, were they discussing some negative results and were deciding who'd have to break the news to me?!? The nurse called me on back, and the first thing she asked was if I wanted to keep my test. Confused, I asked what she meant, and she responded, "Oh I just didn't know if you were sentimental and weird like me, I kept all my positive pregnancy tests from my kids." I started laughing and said, "Oh yeah, right, so it is positive?" She smiled big and told me, "Oh yeah, I didn't even have to wait the full minute for the test to develop– that positive line was bright pink from the start." HUGE sigh of relief! Dr. A came in and we chatted for a bit, and she said she estimated my due date to be around November 13th. She gave me some good advice (make sure I'm getting enough calcium since I'm not much of a dairy eater, get lots of exercise, etc.) and to take good care of myself and the little one :)

Next step, the OB! I just called to schedule an appointment with Dr. Nancy Grant at Providence (read about her here: www.whtmd.com/grant.html). My mom and Dr. A both highly recommend her, so I'm really excited to meet her. We go in April 16th at 9:00am for an ultrasound. Yay!!!!

Hospital-approved test– yay for double lines!
