I'm (officially) Pregnant!

I first did a home pregnancy test on 27th December 2009, four days before my monthlies were due.  It was negative.  It had been 3 months trying already, and I thought oh well, another clean start.  I still had a few tests left (amazing how many you buy at one time, at least I was getting Clicks clubcard points!).
I did another test (just for fun) on the 29th December, 2 days before my monthlies were due.  I saw a faint faint line, fran upstairs to show Kevin, with a fat smile on my face) and he wasn't convinced.  It was so faint I was beginning to wonder if I had imagined it.  I couldn't have imagined it, could I?  Needless to say I tossed the first test.

On 31st December we were about to leave for a short break over New Years, I quickly used my last test before we packed the car to go.  Another positive line!!!  Surely I couldn't have imagined both?  I didn't tell Kevin for fear he would dismiss it as with the last one, but took a snapshot with my phone.  I showed him the picture a few days later and we were both rather excited.

We returned home on Sunday, 3rd January - I rushed out again to buy some more tests (3) and did another one right away.  Another postive line.  Just to be sure I did another one on Monday morning, before work, and after seeing yet another positive line, I phoned to make a doctors appointment for Tuesday.

Kevin and I both went to the doc at 08h00, she took bloods and said they would call back in a few hours.  They didn't call.  How frustrating.  If I didn't phone casualty myself and ask a nurse for some help I would probably still not have heard from them.  The nurse phoned me back at 4:00 pm to say yes, it is confirmed!!!!  I'm pregnant!  I knew it, but the bloods just confirmed it, and got Kevin to believe me!  That jab was painful man!
