So ... as most of you know, the reason I haven't been blogging so much is that we recently found out that I am pregnant. We weren't going to tell a lot of people, so I decided to break from blogging until I could share the news.
The unOfficial Story of mToto:
... Back in July a teacher (who also goes to my church) came down and told me about a weird dream she had where I was pregnant. Well, at the time we were seeing doctors to get on fertility drugs because I was diagnosed with PCOS (webMD it if you want), which made it hard to get pregnant. So - naturally – I freaked and went home early and took a test … and it was negative.
I was semi-relieved because I was leaving for Africa the next week.
When I got home from Africa, Brent and I saw my OB about getting on Clomid and Progesterone. I was sleeping all the time, and I thought it was a serious case of jet lag. The day before we started our drug treatment, I had to take another test … and it was POSITIVE! So - I took it again. Positive again.
I forgot every cute thing I was going to do to tell Brent we were pregnant and just walked into the room holding a stick - I had just peed on - speechless.
I went to the doctor the next morning and told her I couldn't be more than 1-2 weeks along ... because I had just gotten home (and I had taken a test before I left that was negative). So we did an ultrasound ... and SURPRISE ... 6 1/2 weeks along.
So – it turns out – I was pregnant when she had that dream. I was pregnant in Africa. (My test had been a false negative.) And the jet lag I thought I had ... not jet lag.
I’m now 10 ½ weeks along … and everything is going great!
