Stage Fright.

Holy freaking cow. I took a test Saturday March 7, 2009 around 11 and sure enough 2 bright pink lines showed up. That would make me 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant.

In week 3, sperm meets egg, and voila: conception! Your little zygote sets off on a six-day trek through your fallopian tubes, dividing and redividing into identical cells as it travels to your uterus.

In week 4, now safe in your womb, the ball of cells (blastocyst) splits in two, becoming the embryo and the placenta. The amniotic sac and fluid are forming around baby, and will act as a cushion for the next eight months.

This is still something that doesn't quite seem real. Before I took the test the symptoms I was feeling was tender nipples, gas, major AF cramping and slight heart burn. I knew once I felt that heart burn something was up. I have never had heartburn like that before. When I went to take the test the first time I couldn't pee for the life of me. Talk about a major case of stage fright. So i drank some more water and continued to get ready. Tried again still no pee. you have got to be kidding me. gezz. Finally I told Chad that we couldn't leave for Ames until I peed on a stick. So he went out to start the truck and to the bathroom I was. Finally I got enough to get it on the end of the stick and I watched as it slowly changed to gray indicating it was working. Then as bright as day the first line appeared and then the second line. Well I looked at it disbelieve, like is this really true.

So after I get done in the bathroom I went out to the kitchen and Chad is looking at me like shit is it negative. I showed him and he goes "really". Yeah really. What do we do now I said. We were so excited but we are so new to this. We aren't quite sure what we were to do. It hadn't really set in yet. We decided that we were going to tell our parents Sunday and wait to tell everyone else.

We went to Ames and we were looking to find a bib or a outfit that said I love gma or gpa. Well after going to kmart, target, the mall and walmart we couldn't find any of that and we went for a Iowa State outfit and booties and an Iowa Hawkeye outfit and booties for my parents and chads parents. We told my parents and my three brothers, sister-inlaw and gma today. I started crying as soon as my mom freaked out. Let the emotions flow. We ended up not being able to tell Chad's parents because they got stranded in Chicago coming home from Vacation. So tomorrow we are already planning to go over there for supper. Chads mom will probably scream too. We will find out.

Still so weird to hear people talk about "Amy's got a baby in her belly". Im going to call the doctor tomorrow and hope to get a checkup soon. Until tomorrow.
