Dec. 31st 2008

The wait is finally over, we have our first OBGYN appt. today. I have been too scared to take another pregnancy test fearing it will be negative so we are anxious for this appt. Our appt was first thing in the morning which was nice. I peed in the cup and then went back to our room. When the nurse came in I asked her if I was pregnant. She looked at me like I was crazy and was like isn't that why you are here. She said she had not looked at the urine results. I must have made her curious though b/c she left and came back in a minute to say that I was indeed pregnant. Our doctor came in and did an exam, I told him how sore my stomach was and that I had been pretty sick lately. He said that we had not miscarried but the possibility was still there this early. He felt my stomach and I complained that it hurt when he pressed on it. I think this concerned him a little, but mostly I felt like a wuss. He said that these cramping, tender stomach symptoms were consistent with an ectopic pregnancy but that he felt I was at low risk for this. Since we weren't 100% sure of when we got pregnant and we wanted to make sure it was not ectopic they scheduled an ultrasound for us the following week.

The waiting and waiting and not knowing is killing us. Scott and I don't discuss it, but I am concerned that something is not right.
