Second Blood Test

So... I went to get blood again for my second test and again I had to get poked twice! My arms are so bruised! I look like I am using! Even the nurse said that, and she's the one who did it! Oh well... this is the life of girl with tiny veins....

SO I hear tomorrow at 1PM if my levels have doubled. If they did, then its a go. Otherwise, I have to do an ultrasound. Wish me luck!

First Blood Test

So I went to see the doctor today and they poked me twice to get blood. First time, they filled a tube of blood and pulled out the needle. Then they had to poke me on the other arm because she forgot to test for my blood type! Oh Lord!

They want to make sure I am pregnant. I guess it's not official until I find out tomorrow at 2PM. I cannot wait! After that, they do another blood test in a couple of days to see if my levels are rising appropriately. If they are, it's an indication of a good pregnancy. I think that's really unnerving... Lots of thoughts running thru my head but I am trying not to think about any of it...
I feel that the 1st trimester is probably the scariest becoz you don't know if your pregnancy is going to take... Then of course the last trimester is probably the most uncomfortable because you are as big as a house... I am hoping the 2nd trimester comes soon so I can at least relax for 3 months!

The doctor thinks she can send me for my first ultra sound before I leave for Singapore! That is so exciting! Our very first picture of our very first baby!

So many things to look forward to....

I am Pregnant!!!

So... I found out yesterday that I am pregnant!!! Got up at 5AM and I had to pee so bad so I pee'd on a stick 3 days before I was supposed to get my period thinking that it would be false but my groggy eyes slowly became large with shock! Rob & I have been planning this since forever but to actually see the word "Pregnant" on the stick was still an immense shock! It didn't feel real! I kept looking at it expecting it to change back and I even checked the box to see what a negative result would look like. Of course, since it was a digital pregnancy test, a false read would be a "Not Pregnant". Why I even bothered to check the box is beyond me. I am chalking it up to my sleepy state and nothing else!

This feeling of joy and fear washed over me... I was so excited and happy but I was scared at the same time... I wanted to wake Rob up but I knew he had studied late into the night and needed his sleep. I tried going back to sleep but of course I couldn't.... So I woke up and decided to research some pregnancy books on amazon!

Finally, Rob woke up at 7AM. He groggily walked out of the bedroom and immediately went into the bathroom. Right before he stepped in, I yelled: "I'm Pregnant!". It seemed so unreal until that moment. He of course was in shock... Zombie like, he walked towards me and gave me a huge hug. I have to admit, my eyes welled up. It was a moment I won't soon forget. Then, he told me that he really had to pee! That was funny....

When I called the doctor and told them, they said to come in for a blood test. When I went in, they poked my veins for like 5 min and couldn't get blood. Then, another nurse was called in who actually noticed that I hadn't missed a period yet. She sent me home and told me to come back next Thursday. Boy, I hate incompetent people! I can't wait to make it official and see the doctor! I'd really like to see her before I got to Singapore May 30th.......
