OMG I’m pregnant!!

So I guess I owe a blog entry on this. I would have written sooner, but work has actually been really busy lately and homelife has been busy as well.
Here’s my story: I thought I would wait until Sunday to test, but I wanted to know before the weekend started whether I was pregnant or not to know if I could drink or not. So Thursday night, I had a hard time sleeping because I was thinking about testing all night. I woke up around 7:30AM. DH and I both had the day off and he was feeling pretty sick from a cold so he didn’t get up when I got up. I just hung out and watched Project Runway on DVR and a few other shows I had on there. Actually in the middle of Project Runway, around 8:30AM, I decided I couldn’t wait anymore. I had to pee. So I told DH that I had to pee and that I was going to test. He said one word from bed to indicated his consent “pee.” So I did it and went back to watching Project Runway. I went back in and I literally said “Oh My God” when I saw the two lines. The lines weren’t faint or disputable. It was a damn awesome bright second line. It felt like it screamed “Hey, I’m pregnant!” DH heard me and knew what that meant. He called “Are you pregnant?” as he was getting up. He got up and looked at it and gave me a big hug. I couldn’t stop laughing and crying a little.

We were excited and nervous and excited all at the same time. But we just went about our day. I had a doctor’s appointment scheduled for that day so that worked out really nicely. I was happy that I was able to get a blood test so quickly (I heard the results on Monday and they came back positive too). It was neat being able to tell the doctor that I thought I was pregnant. I asked him if it was ok if I ran a 5k on Sunday and he said that would be fine. The rest of the day passed uneventfully. I did manage to run 3 miles which was the last day for our training regiment. DH rested in bed to try to get better. That night we met up with my friends Emily and Matt to help Matt move his stuff into a moving van (he’s moving into Emily’s studio apartment). It was really hard not saying anything, but I wanted to wait to tell our friends in DC. I’m not sure why but I just do.

The next day, I took another pregnancy test because I figured I didn’t really need them and I wanted to make sure the day before wasn’t a figment of my imagination (although I did keep the test hanging around just to stare at it). It was positive again with a beautiful second line. So we decided ok lets tell family because I wouldn’t be able to keep it in if I spoke with them (my parents bring up grandkids every time I talk to them). We first called my parents on Skype. It was fun to see their reaction. Of course they were thrilled and they seemed to know right away (everyone did, it kind of ruined the surprise). My sister called on Skype right at the end of my conversation with my parents so of course we told her then. She seemed excited as well. Then we told MIL, FIL, BIL, and SIL, that morning. Everyone was very excited. I have a feeling that SIL was kind of jealous because she’s kind of been half-trying for a while. Saturday night we met up with our friends from NYC who had just moved back to the DC area. They’re a 30-minute drive and an even longer Metro ride away. We went to their new apartment which was nice. Our mutual friend David lives right by them so now we’re always going to be obligated to go to Maryland where they live. We were hoping they would move to VA but that didn’t happen. So we went to a diner that served pretty fatty, greasy foods. Of course, I’m still doing the pescetarian thing so I ordered a fish and chips, which was pretty nasty. But I definitely felt like puking afterwards. That leads me into pregnancy symptoms. I’ve gotten some nausea (mostly after eating), sore nipples here and there, abdominal pain, and a little bloating. So we managed to give the excuse of having our 5K tomorrow morning to avoid drinking.

Sunday morning was the 5K. We got there really early because we were worried about finding parking and being late. But we got there with plenty of time and ended up just sitting in our car for a while. DH was still feeling sick so I was going to have run solo L We all lined up and DH went to the back since he was going to walk. It started and everyone was passing me, which was fine except for the biotch who hit my elbow with her fist when the race first started. It felt pretty good at first. After the first mile or so, my nipples were on fire! They hurt a lot, but I kept going and running. I was passing some people who had started off fast and were running out of gas. The last half mile or so was tough because I started sprinting too early. But I made it and I was really proud. I finished with 29:40 which is not that great, but it’s a start. I wanted to try to train up for a 10K next, I’m not sure I will be able to do that, being pregnant and all.

DH and I have started making plans in our apartment to fit the baby in. We will have to turn the office into a nursery and move most of our office stuff downstairs in the storage room. I think house buying will have to be put on hold. We shouldn’t rush into anything and who knows where we will be in a couple of years. Lots of decisions to make!
