Well just now my worst fear happened. While I was at work I had to pee so I went like I always do and as I was just about to I noticed some spotting on my underwear, I thought ok IDK if that was there before. So after I peed low and behold when I went to wipe there was light fresh blood with some small clots on the toilet paper. I started to freak out. So here I am on the toilet with my phone talking to my 2 best friends in text who would know what to do and trying to calm me down.
I called the OB office and they told that if I wasn't bleeding like it was my period I should be fine that I need to lay down and just monitor the bleeding. I was freaking out because I was at work and I didn't want to let work know yet till at least my next Dr. Appt. Which wasn't till the end of next month. So after I get done talking with her I go with tears in my eyes explaining to my Store manager what's going on and that I need to leave. He was ok with it which I was worried he was going to give me problems because I was leaving so early since I just started my Shift at 3p.
I'm so scared and so is DBF. He keeps insisting on going to the ER but I want to wait it out like the Nurse said on the phone at the OB office. My one friend said that it was maybe from my Pap test they gave me on Tuesday, they did tell me I might have some spotting. But I figured if that were the case I would have experienced that by now and that the spotting would be brownish, not pinkish.
Please everyone keep my baby in your thoughts and pray that I'm not having a miscarriage IDK what I would do if I ended up having one.

First OB Appointment
Today I had my First Appointment for 9 am. It was my first initial visit first thing was to pee in a cup and get things going.
As soon as I checked in and made sure all my information was correct they Weighed me, took my blood pressure then made me pee in a cup. After that they took me to a room where DBF and I got to talk to one of the sweetest nurses. She asked us both everything and anything you could imagine about us and our families medical history. She also gave us some really good information pamphlets and answered any questions DBF and I had. I was most concerned about the meds I was taking for my back from when I hurt it this past October. I don't take them all the time anymore, I have only been taking them as needed but I didn't want to worry about taking them.
After talking with her I got to meet one of the PA's who was also so very nice. She had to give me a pap smear test and breast exam to make sure everything was good since it was a few years since I had my last one *embarrassed*. Once she was done with all that she went over to make sure what meds I could take and what I can't since she was able to look into it further then the nurse was able to. Once she got everything she needed she sent me to have blood work and I was on my way.
My next Apt is May 26th with one of the actual Dr's. I will get to meet each of them at one of my future appointments. Since not one specific Dr. will be delivering me they suggested I got to meet each of them. The PA told me that pretty much each Dr. is on call certain days. So Depending on what day I start to go into labor it depends on that Dr. duty that day and time. I'm a little nervous about that because I was hoping to only deal with a female just because guys in the practice have always creeped me out but DBF made a good point, he said that once that baby is coming your not going to care who delivers it because your just going to want it out of you.
So next Appointment is going to be the heartbeat and possibly an u/s. I can't wait. We are so excited.

So Far So Good
So far things have been going pretty well. Today is my Last day off from my little vacation. I'm glad I chose this weekend because it has been so gorgeous outside. Last time I took a few days off it was so crappy out because mother nature couldn't make up her mind. Right now it's about 90 degrees which my one friend told me it was, that was at 10am. Yesterday it was about 80, not too hot and with a nice breeze. I ended up opening all the windows in the house, which made all the kittehs excited.
We also had to get out the AC already for the bedroom because the first night of just sleeping with the windows open was not cutting it. We both woke up sweating during the night. So at night we have been sleeping with the AC on because it's just been so hot in there. I don't think it would be too bad if we had a bedroom in a normal area, but since our room is technically where an attic would be it's allot warmer up there especially in the summer. Also being that DBF and I aren't very small either we both can radiate allot of body heat, and I read the other day that now that my hormones are changing I will start to generate more my self. Oh joy.
On another note, the other day I found a new Due Date Calculator online when I was looking for more tickers to see if there were any cool and unique ones. This one was more involved, it asked when my last period was and how long my cycle was. Which sometime last year my cycle went from a normal 28 day one to a 30 day one. Which just from those 3 extra day's that pushed my Due date back to December 21st, which actually made me very happy because that gives me the possibility to deliver on the 22nd like I had hoped I would. It also told me in detail of when I was ovulating and we conceived, which was right when I knew I had to have.
My first unofficial apt is this Tuesday. Which I can't wait to get things going already so I can have my first official one where we can finally hear the heartbeat and then maybe get to see our little peanut for the first time. DBF told me yesterday he has a list of questions he wants to ask the Dr. when we finally see one. I asked him like what, and he told me that He wants to know how far along I'll be before we can know the sex of the baby. I told him that's easy, at 20 weeks is when we can find out. He looked so sad. He's worried its going to be a girl because he said he's going to be more worried if it's a girl. Then I said to him but if it's a boy you won't worry? Boys have the same risks as girls do so you have to worry just the same no matter what the sex is.
So aside from that things with me have been going pretty well. I haven't found anything that made me really sick yet, and I haven't had any morning sickness but that one day. I don't think that was really morning sickness I think that had to do with a smell that didn't agree with me. But since then things have been going great, although I hate that I want to eat everything in the house. I've been trying to eat moderately so I don't gain to much weight during the pregnancy, but sometimes the cravings for food win over my will power. I have been good tho with choosing what I eat , been eating allot of veggies or salads, fruits or yogurts. I've been trying to stay away from sweets but when I do have some it's in reasonable amounts. I have a bunch of candy I got after Easter that was on clearance before I knew I was pregnant, which I still have allot of it left. I'll eat 1 or 2 Russel Stover egg and I'll be good all day.
I have been getting into the habit of making healthy dinners. The other day I made a nice Pot Roast in the crock pot. It came out so tender. Then last night I made a nice Pesto Pasta. I had some cut up chicken left over from the beginning of the week when I made that white chicken chili dinner. I ended up frying it up with the garlic, onions, spices, and spinach then added the Pesto Sauce once it was done cooking. Served over Rigatoni noodles, it came out fantastic. On the other hand, I do now have a sink full of dishes that I need to do sometime today, which I will probably wait for DBF to get home from work and help me with them.
Well I'm going to get going, I want to enjoy my day and do nothing until DBF gets home. I think I might talk him into going to the Cherry Blossom Festival that was going on this weekend. It's going on until 7 tonight I think that would be nice to get out of the house for a little bit and enjoy the weather. Maybe go for a nice walk afterwards also since we never do that in less it's when we go to Francis Slocum our state park. In the summer we like to go hiking on the trails.
We also had to get out the AC already for the bedroom because the first night of just sleeping with the windows open was not cutting it. We both woke up sweating during the night.

Day 4
Okay, here is how things are going so far since I found out.
So far so good except yesterday I ended up throwing up twice while I was at work. It wasn't fun. I was feeling great all morning but then all of a sudden it hit me when I was stocking some of the cosmetic totes over near the Deodorant. I guess there was a scent of something I didn't like and it made me sick. On top of that too I had Diarrhea. Yeah not fun either. I ended up having to leave work early because I had an accident. How embarrassing is it you have to tell your manager what just happened and you need to go home. Also none of management knows I'm pregnant yet because I'm waiting till I see a Dr. first and know how things are going so far.
He just said that there's a stomach bug going around and that's what I probably have. I just played off with that and I said yeah probably. I was glad he was okay with me leaving tho since we were already short a person because our main Cashier called off for the morning and it was a Sunday none the less. The girl who was opening in Cosmetics and I were going to do a half and half shift up at the main register since Photo was down so I didn't have anything to do. But while she was up there the manager wanted me to help out in cosmetics. So that's what I did and then I got sick.
When I got home I got cleaned up and then came on-line. I started talking to my one friend and she was asking how things were so far then asked if I found a Dr. yet. I told her no cause I was still waiting to hear back from my family Dr. She told me that it was the Hospital I want to deliver at that I needed to call to set up an appointment with. She gave me the number to call and what department I needed to talk to. I have an appointment Next Tuesday at 9am. Since they need to make sure I am really pregnant I need to go to a different place first which I have no idea where it is at exactly so DBF and I are going to have to leave early so we have time to find it.
After I got done talking with her I went to lay down for a little bit since all I seam to want to do is sleep. About an hour or 2 later I get up and make my self some soup since I didn't eat anything yet since I threw up. After I ate I felt a little better then looked around for awhile on-line at some parenting sites that I had bookmarked. about 4pm I get a text from my friend I was talking to earlier that she ran into my DBF at Target looking at baby stuff and how excited he is. That made me so happy when she told me that. Makes me feel good that even after all the bumps in the road we have dealt with that everything is going to be okay.
I'm still in shock about the whole thing and a little scared. I have always wanted to be a mom, but with how things are going in the world today it's a little scary when you think about it. I'm not worried about being a parent tho. I think we will be great parents but we have a long road ahead of us still before we are officially.
Well I have work tonight so I need to get ready in a little while, I'm glad I'm off tomorrow but I'm looking forward to it because we are going food Shopping. We have allot we need to get since when I was out of work because of my back we ended up living on the stockpile for awhile so now it's time to build up again. Plus I need to start eating better because I don't want to put on too much weight since I'm already considered over weight. I want to start having a day where I cook in advance so we aren't eating so much quick meals which are usually always high in sodium. Now is the time to get into the habit of eating better anyway because once the baby gets here there's going to be allot of things that we are going to have to sacrifice that we enjoy because we really don't want the baby to take after our horrible eating habits we have right now.

Bad Blogger with Happy News
Ok so I am way over due for a post. Allot of stuff has happened since my last one considering that was 6 months ago.
To give you a quick update since my last Post, I ended up hurting my back at work Late October. I was in allot of pain and plus with the med's I was on I didn't want to do anything. I didn't spend much time on the computer at all. I slept, watched TV, or knitted. My mom spent allot of time with me also as she could. I was out for 3 full months and it was nice to have that time off from work too. I really needed a break even tho I was out because of an injury.
As for the injury it self I found out I have 3 bulging disks in my lower lumbar but nothing to serious that I would need surgery. I have acute arthritis in my lower back also that has been there for years they said and as for what I did at work I tore a mussel in the lower left side of my back.
6 months later and I'm still in pain but I'm going to have to toughen up because what I'm about to announce makes up for all the pain I'm going to have to deal with since I can no longer take the med's I was on for my back anymore because they are unsafe.
But before I say my announcement, I also wanted to give a quick update on the Accident I witnessed back in August. I ended up having to Testify back in January to everything I saw that night. It was tough but I did it. I told them everything as I cried. I didn't want to have to re-live that night at all but I had to because it was very important to the case. I ended up being the main topic in the local papers the following day. Two of the girls who hit and ran are being charged with allot. I can't remember right now what they are, and other driver who did stay isn't getting hit as hard as the other two since she did stay.
Now for my Announcement:
April 16th 2009 I got home from work and took a little test. Here's what the results were.
I couldn't believe it. I had to ask two of my best friends if what I was seeing what was I thought I was seeing. They both said it defiantly looked like two lines but I should take a digital one to be sure. So that I did...
Two days later and I'm still in shock. We stop trying and finally we get a result. According to the calculator I found online my EDD is December 18th and the best thing about it all is DBF and I conceived on one of the four days we were off for his birthday.
DBF is super excited and him being excited makes me even more excited especially since I didn't know how he was going to take it. I was online talking to a few of my friends trying to figure out away I could tell him when he got home from work. For some background noise I ended up putting on John & Kate Plus 8 since it was the only thing that was really entertaining on at the time. DBF comes home and I quickly hide the tests so he can't see them. He goes and feeds the cats then takes his shower. As he gets out he's standing there talking to me while drying off about his day at work then one of the kids start crying on the TV. He looks at me and says I don't want kids. I start to giggle and ask him if he's sure. He goes yeah. I then asked if he was Positive and he goes Yeah. I start giggling more and I go well it's a little too late for that. He looks at me puzzled and goes wait are you pregnant? I smile and said yeah and hand him the digital test. He got all happy came over and gave me a kiss then called his mom to tell her.
So far everyone who knows is his mom, my dad and some of our friends. I'm waiting for Mothers Day to Surprise my mom with the news. I asked to have mothers day off so I could spend the day with her because I know shes going to be super emotional. She has been wanting to be a grandmother for a long time now even tho I just turned 25. I can't wait to see her face when I do tell her. I have a nice thing all planned out. Hopefully no one blows it and says something to her before then since I still have about a month till I say anything to her.
Well right now I'm getting sleepy and I have work in the morning so I'm going to go to bed. I'll Update some more tomorrow now that I have a reason to start posting again :D
