I'm starting my first blog post with the story of Dave and I finding out our big news. The way we found out could literally be made into a cheesy, Lifetime movie! Just wait...
So it all started on Monday, February 1st, 2010. Dave and I were on our way to visit my OB-GYN for a matter related to something other than babies.....Without going into all the gushy details, I had been having some cervical issues and was going to have some routine tests......etc. etc. etc. Let me preface this by saying, I hadn't had my 'girly' cycle in nearly 3 months! However (I'm no idiot) and had taken 3......yes, 3 pregnancy tests... all of which told me "nope, no, Lindsey, you are NOT pregnant.
So back to the story, we fill out the paper and we wait in the crowded waiting room full of glowing and beautiful pregnant woman. I swear, everyone in that waiting room was excited to be there; everyone except for me. As the nurse calls my name and I make my way back to room, I am already tearing up (Dave is in the waiting room at this point). As part of a routine visit, I give my urine sample and put the lovely gown on. By this time, the tears are running down my cheeks and the nurse is rubbing my arm telling me the doctor would be in the room in a just a few short minutes. Tears turn into sobs by the time the doc enters the room.....only to my surprise she is wearing a big, gleaming smile on her face. Before I started crying even harder, she told me to wipe the tears from my eyes because everything was going to be okay. "Okay? I thought....your not the one that has to...." well again, I won't bore you with details : ) Her exact words were, "no biopsies today.....we need to do an ultrasound of your new baby instead. Lindsey, you are pregnant!" The first words out of my mouth were "are you sure? I mean I've taken 3 pregnancy tests!" No, she was pretty sure and she would be even more sure when we did the ultrasound just minutes later. The only thing she was unsure of, was just exactly how far along I really was!
In the meantime, Dave is still out in the waiting room......I burst into the room (white as ghost, I'm sure) and still crying. I told him, " you better come back here"....walking into the ultrasound room now "because were having a baby!!!" I'm honestly not sure at this point what his face looked like or even the first words out of his mouth because I literally felt like I was in my own dream. Sure enough, we saw our little baby boy and his heartbeat for the first time just moments later. And I was indeed not just a little bit pregnant, but 9 1/2 weeks or 2 months pregnant! The doctor told us to go home and let this news sink in (as we were both so shocked I'm pretty sure we were speechless saying....OMG, OMG).
Looking back now, the Universe was definitely giving us all the signs along the way. No, Dave and I didn't listen to the signs! I had literally told him just days prior that I couldn't believe how tired I felt. Or the fact that it was just so strange how I had to get up to use the bathroom every night at 2am! No, Dave's response was, "doesn't it sink getting old!"
I'm not sure when the news really did sink in, but it has been the most exciting and happy news of my life. Now...at nearly 28 weeks, I still wake up in the morning and remind myself that this is no dream!
LOL! What a story!! I LOVE it Lindsey!! :) Congratulations to you and Dave!
