On Thursday May 5, at 6:15am, I peed on a stick. The results that came up instantaneously was a magical plus sign (+). As you see what obviously got me deciding to pee on this magical sick was the fact that my always on time period had been a no show for 7 days, yet I had all the normal symptoms of my typical PMS only a little bit more enhanced.

Obviously I was in shock by this magical plus sign, but definitely not surprised as I know exactly how it happened. It only took about 10-15min of talking online to the amazing Lisa and the great Kimm not to mention the kind Dez to get over the shock and surprise of this news, and they all reassured me that babies are awesome. Though what I was most upset about all of this was the fact that I had kept Bryan in the dark about everything thing until later that evening, as he had left earlier that morning to fly to Las Vegas for one of his bestfriends stag party, a total boys only weekend. It all came blubbering out when he talked to me that evening, I was really trying not to tell him until he came back as I did not want to ruin his fun in Vegas with him worrying about me and all that. He obviously was surprised, shocked, yet reassured me that he was smiling. I also joked that I guess I do not have to buy him a 9 year anniversary gift because I’m growing his child inside of me.

I managed to get to work that day with only one wrong turn, and I was able to make a doctors appointment for the next day to confirm this positive. The doctors appointment went well we spent time discussing how I feel about the idea of having a baby and the standard pee in a cup procedure and a minute later my doctor sticking her head back into the room with a smile on her face saying “Positive” We discussed a few more things, such as approximately how far along I might be based on my last period. She estimated me to be approximately 5 weeks along (6 weeks as of today) – Though I can pretty much tell you the exact day this baby was conceived and I am guessing I’m more like one week behind what my doctor had mentioned, making me 4 weeks at the time of the appointment. She also told me that she does not take on prenatal patience, and she can refer me to a obstetrician or a midwife to deal with and help me during this pregnancy.

I know it is still early on, and anything can still happen but I am excited and wanting this to go the full 9 months and now that Bryan is home from Vegas he is thrilled, and very excited. He has taken to doing extra duties around the house as he does not want me stressing about anything.

On Mother’s Day I told some family and my grandma. My grandma is over the moon excited, same with my aunt, uncle and cousin. I even managed to tell my brother later on that evening and he is excited to be a real uncle. I have not told my mom as she happened to do something on Mother’s day that embarrassed me greatly, and she does not even realize she has done it, nor sees anything wrong with how she behaved. I really do not know when I plan on telling her. I wish we still had the same relationship we use to have, she’s changed. I just do not need to deal with her issues and behaviours at the moment. I need to focus on me.

I have a follow up doctors appointment on Friday, just to talk with my doctor about any questions I might have and for her to refer me to either another doctor, or a midwife. I am still unsure of what to go with, but I leaning towards going with a midwife as they seem to take more time to answer any questions I may have and take the time to really answer them.
