Just passed the pregnancy test
I just performed a home pregnancy test an hour ago and it was positive. Yippee. So I decided to start an anonymous blog detailing my pregnancy experience.
I don't know how to feel. I am excited and nervous about the whole baby thing, but then I am also a little bit worried because I had an eptopic before and I don't want to get my hopes up until the pregnancy is confirmed. I called the Doctor and left a message so hopefully I will get an appointment before the weekend (today is Wednesday).
I decided to make this blog anonymous since the pregnancy hasn't been confirmed yet and I know you are not supposed to tell people for the first 3 months since there is like 20% of pregnancies that don't make it. I especially don't want work to find out since I am hoping for a promotion this year and I don't think I will get it if they think I am going on Maternity leave soon.
I just ordered THE book "What to Expect When You're Expecting" from Chapters. I have heard good things about this book from a friend. Hopefully it will arrive soon.
Now I have to go to work and pretend that everything is normal.

I tested 3 days after my missed period, because my period had been a little late sometimes and I didn’t want to test too early and mess with my emotions. I used “First Response” which we got from the local drug store, but I think they are all basically the same. My breasts were also sore really early which was a good sign (but this doesn’t happen to everyone right away).
