I am making this blog because so many of the family and friends that we love are farther away from where we are and I wanted to keep them informed.
Yes, we are very much pregnant! I was a week late from my period and noticed that it had not come so, so I was explaining my symptoms to my sister-in-law, Jess on Valentine's Day. Yes, we celebrated Valentine's Day at my in-laws house because my father in law, John, was born on V-Day :). Jess had mentioned having cramps (really bad ones) could be a sign of implantation bleeding. So, as most people who know me, know I am VERY impatient! Clark and I wound up going to Rite Aid after dinner to get a pregnancy test.
It said NEGATIVE.
A few days later, I decided to retest because everything hurt.
Our results were POSITIVE.
The funny thing is, I buy the pregnancy tests on Ebay which come from China but they are bulk ones that the hospitals use. Clark saw the test and threw it away and said we can't rely on that chinsy thing!
So, I had to wait to pee again. I peed on one of the First Response tests and it came out to be positive (a VERY faint 2nd line). The next morning I did the same thing and the line was a little bit darker. (The picture is a little harder to see).
After, literally, 6 pregnancy tests, we gave up and got an electronic one! Yes, they were all positive, but we still couldn't believe it.
Here is what the electronic one said... Yes, I might have taken 2 of those as well!
Clark and I told everyone a little more prematurely than we had wanted, because the excitement was overwhelming to us. We are 7 weeks as of today... and we will be verifying that with our doctor on Friday, our first prenatal visit. After that we have the blood panel and the ultrasound to do!
I will be posting another blog post once we get our first ultrasound!!
Thanks for reading and love to all of you!
P.S. this was the chinsy test Clark didn't like :)
