Butterfly or Freestyle??

Yeah... I'm convinced my kid will know how to swim and most likely be on the swim team. He/she is already practicing.
Last night at about 9:30 I finally REALLY felt some swift kicks to the stomach. Ones you can really feel with your hand. It was strange but so cool. Daniel unfortunately was not there to feel them but there will be many more times he will be able to.

So when did you know?

This is part one of many parts of my journal that I kept over the past few months.

Wednesday January 30th. Took a test to make sure that all meds were out of my system. I certainly got confirmation of that with no double line.
Thursday January 31st. Woke up before crossfit and took a test. Ok. Seriously this test was not manufactured correctly. I think I see something but don't know if its because the test was made funky or if it was true. Not sure, I go and work out and come back and take like 2 more test. I think I see something faint but try not to get my hopes up.
Friday February 1st. Wake up, take the test. Couldn't believe it. Went to cross fit and could not do a single pull up unassisted. This confirms it for me 100%. I have always been great at doing pullups and now for some reason my body felt like trying to pull up 200lbs.
When Daniel wakes up and is done getting ready for work I tell him. His response was to be safe today. Both of us in shock and also trying to be realistic try not to think about this or even talk about it for many weeks until we get out of the scary stage. I emailed Alex who then called me while I was cutting up raw chicken for the crockpot. I also went over to see Val at her house and told her then.
Everyone else is left in the dark for many weeks.
Monday February 4th. I go in at 930 to get bloodwork drawn. I told the gal that I already knew. She said that results would be sent via phone later in the day. I get a phone call at around 1230 that day. The results were as I expected. Very good!! I am still in complete shock and now antsy for the next apt the following week.
Monday February 11th. I go in again early to get more blood work drawn. Same scenario. A phone call would be made by 2pm. I get my results which were great again. I am in such shock because I always got bad news and now its the total opposite. I set up my first ultrasound today for the week of the 25th.

Watch out world!


One cute kid expected to arrive by October 2013. Later I'll share some of my thoughts from my journal that I started back in January.
