Seeing double... again!
Well ladies, it appears as though I am expecting!
This morning I was woken up by my husband slapping down a box of First Response Early Response next to my head. He told me to get up and go take a test. I kept trying to tell him that it was too early and a waste of money to use a pregnancy test already. But, I went ahead and took the test. Lo and behold there were two pink lines (thus the seeing double in my title) right away!!! According to Brad I came bouncing out of the bathroom with a giant smile asking him if he saw the second line.
It's definitely surreal to be at this stage again ladies. Weird. I'm very early on and at this point I'm just hoping and praying that this one sticks. I refuse to let my previous experience ruin any of the joy and excitement of this pregnancy so I'm doing my best to not let it cast a shadow.
I did go in for blood work today and will go in for bloodwork again on Friday. After that I should be getting results about whether or not my pregnancy appears to be viable on Monday. The wait will be excruciating but really, TTC is one long wait after another.
When I went in for my bloodwork today I was sitting there while the lady was taking a vial of blood and then I guess all of a sudden my vein collapsed. It didn't hurt or anything but the gal couldn't get any more blood out of my arm. I started to feel a little funny but it passed and she switched arms. Then, when she was almost done collecting blood I started to feel really funny, my vision went wacky, my whole body felt numb and heavy and I felt like I might throw up. So, I let the gal know that I passed out a few times in high school when I had blood taken and that I was pretty sure I was about to pass out right then. I guess right after that I went white and passed out but my eyes remained open. Creepy eh? The lady told me I started shaking, almost like a tremor, for about 5-10 seconds before I came to being alert again.
This was not a fun experience. It was nothing at all that the gal did... it's just me. Afterwards I was all clammy and felt awful. It's been a few hours now and I still don't feel totally OK. Brad was mystified by the whole experience of course but hey, I'll do whatever it takes to make sure this little one that's growing is a-okay.
So, cross your fingers for us and keep us in your prayers... :o) Hee, hee, I'm so excited!
