Blood work


Today was my first visit to the doctor. It was a short visit, as all I had to do was get blood work. They took my blood and are going to test it for some things (per a friend of mine, they'll make sure certain levels of chemicals are right). I should get a call tomorrow for the results.
I am very nervous, as I want things to be progressing the way they should be. I want everything to be going well and for me to have a healthy baby at the end of this. But positive thoughts are in order as I sit by the phone tomorrow and wait for it to ring.

This is a picture of my wound from the day. :o)
I think I may be pregnant.

Baby Rowe is on the Way!

January 30, 2010
Well, I took a pregnancy test today. I don't know why I took one because I have taken a pregnancy test the last 3 months in a row. I have a weird cycle, so it is kind of hard to tell when I am late. Anyway, I took one today, honestly for the heck of it. It showed a "Pregnant."
Since taking pregnancy tests seems to have become part of a hobby, I was shocked. I did not expect it to say that. WOW! I took one a couple hours later and it said pregnant as well. I am going to take one tomorrow.

I guess I can believe it now. My third pregnancy test (the one I took this morning) said pregnant. Not that I didn't think it would. But I felt the need to take one anyway. We went ahead and told, well, everyone yesterday.
At first, we were just going to tell our parents. But then I wanted to tell my sisters and his sisters. And my best friend Jessica. And so on and so on... My older sister, Misty, was so excited she could not wait to make a Facebook announcement. So I let her. At first, I was wanting to be "safe." What if something happened and the pregnancy didn't work out? But after the amazing response I got yesterday, I don't care if the whole world knows "too soon."
Adam's parents were very excited, as I knew they would be. As soon as we told his dad, he started planning the playroom for our little sesame seed. They hugged us and told us how excited they were.
As of his point, I have not told my dad. I was going to tell my parents today, but since my mother is super sleuth, the very way I asked her if they were going to be home today made her ask if I was pregnant. She's good! So we are telling my daddy this morning at breakfast. I am so excited!
Both my sisters and his sister are so happy! My sisters have already started taking bets on what it will be.
I don't want to go on and on, but I do want to say this. For a long time, I have had it in my head how the day would go when we told our families that we were pregnant. Yesterday, I am elated to say, went just how I envisioned it. Perfection.
