Its been a little over a month since I got our unexpected positive pregnancy test (March 26th, 2010). I say unexpected because I was so used to getting a negative result that getting a postive that day was a COMPLETE but WONDERFUL surprise! I still do not know why I decided to take a test that day but I got home from work and had a test left from the previous month and said "what the heck?" I was home alone and did the test and sat it on the side of the tub so that I could stand up and before I could even get up it was positive. My breath was completely sucked out of my body at that point. I was shaking and unable to breath. I called Buddy at that point, who was still at work, and he immediately thought something was wrong because you could definately hear my breathlessness through the phone. I think that both of us were taken by such surprise that our phone conversation didn't really consist of much but my heavy breathing. After we hung up, I decided that I did not trust the test that I had so I should go buy two more (yes, I have been told that I wasted a lot of money on these little things). I got home and took both of those and they were IMMEDIATELY positive also. It was at that point that I think it started sinking in (not really) that this was FOR REAL this time!!!! I had all of the test sitting on a little side table when Buddy got home!It makes me glow/smile/sometimes cry (it's a HAPPY cry) to think about being a mommy! When peoplea ask me how I am Buddy usually responds "HAPPY."
We went for our first OB appointment on April 9th, which made me 6 weeks 5 days pregnant. The sono was wonderful and said that I was measuring exactly as far along as I told them. Once she got the baby on the screen, the sweet sono technician said "do you want to hear it?" and of course I said "YES!" and at that point she pushed some button and we were able to hear our baby's heartbeat. It was simply amazing and of course made me cry.I feel great, besides these terrible food cravings that I have. Sometimes food is all I can think about which really worries me on the weight gain spectrum of it. We go back to the dr on May 4th for just a check up. I think that we will get to hear the heartbeat on the doppler this time. I will update more often as things move along. PLUS I need to do a post about our new house!!!!

This is such an exciting time for you guys!! Document as much as you can, because you'll forget easily. I already have! Don't be worried about the weight gain - the fact you're even thinking about it shows that you don't need to worry. Stay as active as you can, and it will make your labor/delivery easier!! It will also help you not have to worry as much about things like gestational diabetes and swelling toward the end of your pregnancy.
That is how it happened to me too...i took one at my dad's house because my sister had an extra one. You just expect it to be negative because you have taken so many before....it is so hard to believe. Being a mommy is wonderful....you are going to be a great mom!!!! Congratulations!
