NOT PREGNANT: The digital home test boldly shouted at me. Hmmm, at least I would get to share some excellent wines with my husband in San Diego. We spent a wonderful weekend celebrating his 30th birthday at the The Del—beach, pool, Virgin America flights, food. I had successfully hidden this trip from Christian for so long, so it was extra special to actually get to go!
As the weekend went on, we started to doubt the mean digital test, so we stopped at a CVS and purchased a different test. The faintest, lightest plus sign in the world slowly appeared. A little bit pregnant? Complete disbelief set in. When we returned home, I set up an appointment with my doctor. After discussing the results of the test and next steps with my doctor, I still didn’t actually believe that I was pregnant. Even after experiencing some typical prego symptoms, it still didn’t seem real.
My OB wanted to see me before I left for Dublin/London just to ensure everything was where it was supposed to be. At only about 5.5 weeks, she informed us that we should not be worried if there was no heartbeat or if we could not see much. But, there it was on the screen—a tiny little black circle with a white blip in it! THAT is our baby!!!
