Week 4, Day 1

On Monday night Matt and I got our big fat positive!

Physically I feel absolutely exhausted. Mid afternoon and late at night are hard to manage. I just want to fall asleep wherever I am! There is also lots of bloating and some cramping. In fact, because of the cramping, some of which concentrates on my left side, I have an early doctor appointment with Dr. Binford. Apparently I'll get a sonogram taken, although its the size of a poppy seed and so they wont really be anything to see anything. She said she'd look at my ovaries. They are trying to rule out an ectopic pregnancy, which can have the symptom of cramping on one side. Leigh is coming with me because Matt can't and Meagan is working. My next appointment is Dec 9th. This was originally supposed to be my first sonogram and when I get my official due date - but I don't know if any of that will change with this first one. Then, I have another appointment Dec. 12th which is apparently when I get loads of information and we talk and run tests for an hour and half. Goodness.

We're excited! It's funny that by the time you find out you are pregnant - they already call you a "month" pregnant. Day 1 starts from the last day of your period at which time we weren't even pregnant yet! ... are we sure those doctors know what they are talking about...?
