I haven't been able to see our doctor, yet. :( We're working on that. It will happen soon, enough. If we're really 15 weeks, already, that means I can get an ultra sound to find out the gender next week. {And the tech can check to see her size (age) and to see that she's healthy. (Or he!)}
If we go from the first day of my last period this baby would be due Sept 10. I have been experiencing every symptom in the book, {and convincing myself I wasn't pregnant} for about 3 months, now, so it's probably right that I'm 15 weeks.
I've been taking pregnancy tests every couple weeks. I called the Dr to see if they had anything more reliable, but the tech told me if at-home pregnancy tests weren't working I'd just have to wait and find out the old fashioned way. {Not a very helpful lady...} The first positive result I received was Thursday. To be sure, I took a couple more the next few days. It's definitely happening. The at-home tests never worked for my pregnancy with Zeke, either.
I'm probably going to need extra love when June arrives. Nick will leave for military training for 5 months on June 7th. He'll miss this baby's birth by two months. I know that we will be OK, but I do get so sad when I think of it.
Thanks for the congrats and well-wishes! I know I'll need it! I do want you to know, though, that I am happy and comfortable with this little guy/girly inside me. Nick and I planned on having our children close together. {I wasn't thinking this close together, but Nick was!} I'm grateful for this little one. We had to use fertility treatments to get Z, and we anticipated always having difficulty getting pregnant, but we are so happy to find that that is not the case, anymore! :)
I hope you can get in to see your doctor soon. Not knowing a due date for certain would drive me batty! :) That's such a bummer about Nick being gone for this one's birth though. :( If you need anything I am always here for you! Do you still have my number? I'm glad to give it to you again if you don't! :) I'm very excited for you!! Let me know if you need anything! Even if you just want to chat! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI am so exited for yoU! You are such a fabulous mom for Z I know you can do it with two. Don't forget either yoy wont be all alone. I know Nick won't be here for the first little bit but you'll have family and good friends! Tell nick we'll take care of you! And the new baby!
ReplyDeleteYAAAAY!! Now I can throw you a baby shower... if it's a girl :) or we'll just have a little party to make up for my lameness with Z. I love you and remember I'm here for you! We live 2 minutes away from each other so come over (and visa versa) to help when Nick leaves. xoxo
