May 19th started off like any other Saturday morning. I had to get up early so that I could make it to my part time job (MS Braves) before lunch. It was an early game. I had told Will the night before that I wanted to use the last pregnancy test that I had, even though I had this gut feeling that it was going to be negative, just like all the other ones that I had taken before. So I did my thing, went and got back in the bed for just a few more minutes. Will decided that he wanted to go check on the magic stick. I told him sure, knowing that it was going to be negative. A few seconds later, he came back to the bathroom door and made some sort of gesture with his hands. Well, I had no contacts in so I could not make out what he was doing. He told me to go look at it. "No way!" I was thinking to myself. Sure enough - 2 LINES!! It was positive!! I turned around and looked at Will and started crying! I ran and gave him a huge hug and said "We did it!!" We both agreed that we were not going to tell anyone until I went to see Dr. Kimmel and verified the pregnancy. But, before I made it to the ballpark, I got a text from his mom that said "OMG a real grandbaby not a granddog!" and I knew then that he had told his parents. So I of course told my mom, dad, and brother. :) It was a good day.
Will left the following Monday for the beach, so he asked that I wait and go to the doctor with him. I said I would so I made my appointment for the Tuesday after Memorial Day. I joined him at the beach on Thursday for the tail-end of the trip, but it was still nice. We went for our first appointment, and the sonogram showed a gestational sac and a yolk sac, but no baby. They confirmed that I was 5 weeks 3 days pregnant and that it was normal to not be able to see the baby yet. So they booked us two weeks later for round #2. The 2nd sonogram showed a sweet little nugget that was 1.6 cm long and had a heart rate of 167. We are scheduled again to see Dr. Kimmel on July 13 but no sonogram this time, just heart beat using her Doppler system.
Due Date is January 19, but Will and I both want "it" to come in December. I am most looking forward to finding out what it is so that I can finally call it a name, and start SHOPPING!!!
