All the way back in June, I scheduled my appointment for my yearly exam for yesterday. And that was the day after I took a positive pregnancy test. So I didn't have to wait long to see a doctor. It was so amazing to have confirmation from the doctor...and to be able to talk about it.
He thinks I'll be due at the end of April (the 25th). But I'm going to have a sonogram sep. 12 and they should be able to give a more precise due date then. I wish I could know how far along I am.
We want a little while to wait to tell anyone. But every person I talk to somehow makes me feel like blurting out.."I'm pregnant!!" Hopefully I won't have to lie too much.
It's so hard to concentrate on anything else.
Kara (drama teacher at my school) and I were just talking on monday about doing a musical this spring. that would be the first week of may.
hm. how do I tell her that i don't think i'll be able to do it?
I haven't felt sick yet. Maybe I won't get that.
There is a person being formed inside my body. How strange is that??
I went for a walk this morning. At least I have reason not to run anymore :)
I will have to work hard to make time for exercise this fall and winter. That's always hard for me this time of year.
Suddenly I care so much more about being healthy. I used to be forgetful in taking medicine, and nonchalant about going to the doctor. Now it's not just me anymore.
It's not just Ryan and me either.
I've loved our years of being alone. I'm nervous. I thought that we would have another year of that. I suppose that when you stop taking the pill and using protection (hoping that we might get pregnant) sometimes...you actually get pregnant. So, my Europe trip is not going to happen for a while. It doen't really bother me though. I know we'll go. I'm just so happy.
This is definately the strangest thing that's ever happened to me.
I need to go take a shower and get ready for work. I have to keep doing the routine of life...though it's hard to think straight.
