Well this is how it goes, about 3 months ago we had to stop seeing the most wonderful doctor that we have yet to see due to a money shortage. His name is Dr. Feinman at the Huntington Reproductive Center in Westlake Village. He is such a sweet doctor and helped us get better results than any other doctor ever had. I was very sad that we had to take a break from the routine.

    Shortly after starting this break time we found out that we had to move by the first of June. This added some stress but relieved a lot. Now, I normally don't have regular cycles unless I'm on medication and I certainly wasn't expecting it towards the end of June, but it showed up to my great surprise. Now it probably shouldn't have been a big surprise because I was having breast tenderness and slight cramping.

    So that cycle comes and goes, then towards the end of July I start thinking that maybe my body decided to be normal again because I had the tenderness and cramping again. But to my disappointment (at the time) it did not start again. I continued on with the same symptoms but didn't pay any attention to my body. David, family & friends kept telling me to go to the doctor to see if anything was wrong but I kept saying yeah, yeah, yeah, and never made the appointment.

    Well on Friday, Aug. 20th (My dad's birthday), I finally got tired of feeling blah and decided to take a pregnancy test because I knew from previous experience that as soon as I took one I would start my cycle. I was at work at the time so I bought a test then off to the bathroom I went. I just knew I would start my cycle that night once I did the test.

    As I took the test two blue lines appeared immediately and I thought what's wrong with this test! (After all the tests I've seen I couldn't figure it out) I re-read the directions then it sank in. I was pregnant! I ran out of the bathroom, which is in the stockroom at work, crying. My co-workers thought I was hurt until I showed them the strip with positive results. Then I got lots of hugs. I called David at work and he said to get to the lab for a blood test now, so I went. On my way I stopped by my mom's house to show her. She cried. I went to the lab and came back to my mom's house just in time for my dad to come home early on his birthday. I wrote up a quick card and put the test strip inside. At first he didn't know what it was but then he figured it out and then he cried. We are all so happy.

    A lot more has happened but the funniest was when we went to my in-laws house that night. They are getting their house remodeled so they were telling us all about it. I gave the second strip to David and at the right moment he presented it to his mom. She couldn't tell what it was. She had never seen a home pregnancy test before. My father-in-law said wait a minute I'll get my glasses. While he went to get them she pulled of the plastic cover on the end (the part that covers the urine strip) thinking I was giving her a new pen. David and I laughed! Dave came back with his glasses, looked at the strip and said "Oh, two blue lines, she's pregnant". Then the crying began again.
