The First Days of Knowing

8/8 - Made some doctors appointments & talked to a pregnant coworker about an OBGYN. She recommended Suzanne Ramos. I called and made an appointment for 9/21 (should be 10 weeks). I then called my Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE). I had seen him a few times just to make sure all was good in the repro department. I would have rather known up front if I was going to have issues that to try for 6 months or a year and then find out. They wanted me to come in the next morning and do a blood test. Up until this point, I hadn't even thought about the fact that it might have been, although unlikely, a false positive.

I told Doug, my friend & coworker. I remembered a conversation of ours a few years back when he told me he would have been happy to have another child. Three weeks later when he told me his gf was pregnant, I was elated for them. I cried!!!

That got me thinking about when Brett & Barb announced that they were pregnant with Megan. It was Christmas of 1989 and they announced it while we were all hanging out in our living room. It just made Christmas that much better. I was so excited for them and for our family. There is just something about the news of a new baby in a family that hasn't had one in a while that is pretty darn exciting.

So after 19 years (since Blake was born), the Guyer/Evenson family will have a new little one to spoil. I can't wait.

8/9 - Went to the doctor & he called me later & confirmed that I am pregnant. Jason thinks I'm crazy about this, but I love when number patterns or repetitions happen. Here's some so far:
My birth date - 7/8/77
My birth weight - 8 lbs 7 oz
Day we found out we were pregnant - 8/7
HCG level from blood test - 778

I'm not a numerologist or anything, but it just amuses me.

And so far so good, I don't really have many pregnancy symptoms, so this makes me happy. If my pregnancy is anything like the two my mom had, it should be all good!
