Two lines!
And now for the back story. On September 29 I woke up feeling not so great. As soon as I stood up out of bed I knew that was a bad idea and wanted to immediately lay back down again. All of the sudden that feeling felt very familiar. My first trimester I was pregnant with Lily, I needed to eat something in the morning in bed before I got out of bed. That feeling was immediately familiar to me. I had other signs that had made be wonder before that too so I told Scott I thought it was time to buy a pregnancy test. So he ran to the store to get a test. And of course it came back positive immediately! I wasn't exactly sure what my due date was I thought I was either one month along or two, so I was pretty sure I'd have to get an ultrasound to date the pregnancy.
This time around I was a little wiser and knew I didn't need to see my regular doctor and just called up the midwifery group that delivered Lily. Unfortunately they didn't have an available appointment for over a month, but I took it.
In the mean time I had some complications. I started bleeding, which was quite scary. When it didn't go away, I called the midwife emergency number. She suggested I go in to see a regular OB/GYN immediately. I got an appointment right away to see an OB in the same suite as my midwives. Thankfully, he was able to do an ultrasound and immediately saw the little flicker of a heartbeat. Due to the development we could see on the ultrasound it was clear that I was very early in my pregnancy--only about 5 weeks. Dr. Johnson said that seeing the heartbeat was a very good sign and pretty much meant we were out of the woods but he still wanted to see us back again in a week to make sure the baby continued to grow normally. Again, everything was fine in a week. And seeing the baby twice so early on was nice. We never saw Lily that early. Bleeding is actually pretty normal, but it's still very disconcerting.
We were also given a due date of May 28, 2010--about a month after Lily's 2nd birthday.
