Exciting!

Max and I are going to have a baby--I'm pregnant. We have been trying since 11/04 and were starting to get a little discouraged. I had decided to stop worrying about getting pregnant and to work on losing some weight instead (I have lost 20+ pounds this summer!) and voila, pregnant!

I went to the doctor today for something fairly unrelated and he wanted to put me on a new medication. I mentioned that I am trying to get pregnant and that there was a 'small chance' I was, so he did a urine test. He came back after the test and said 'well that was a waste of time' which I thought meant that the test was a waste of time (so not pregnant) until he then said "I wrote that prescription out for nothing"! Apparently the test 'lit up right away' so there was no question from their standpoint that I am indeed pregnant! So exciting!

I called Max at work and stopped over to tell him the good news before my dentist appointment (I had to tell them too because they wanted to do x-rays). This explains why I am so tired right now and why I have little appetite/upset stomach regularly!

My last cycle started on July 13 so we are about 4 weeks along!
