>The Big Day
>Well, ladies and gents, this is the day in which my pregnancy will hopefully be confirmed by a bona fide doctor. My first OB appointment is in two hours and I’m nervous, excited and dreading the blood-drawing part of it.
Not that I really need confirmation. I already got that last night.
“Whoa,” my husband said as I got into bed last night. “You actually look pregnant.” It’s true. I have a hard little belly now. My with-childness is undeniable.
Yet I still have a crazy fear that the visit will go something like this:
DOCTOR: Lindsay, I have some bad news.
LINDSAY: What do you mean?
DOCTOR: You’re actually not pregnant. You never were pregnant. You just pigged out while you were on vacation and got fat. And the anecdotal research we’ve conducted shows that any weight you gain typically goes straight to your stomach, hence…
LINDSAY: (Interrupts doctor by turning to camera and screaming longly and loudly).
I guess it could make a good Weight Watchers ad, anyway.
Stay tuned…
>Good luck at the appointment! You know what “they” say…you start to show earlier with each consecutive pregnancy. That’s what I told myself repeatedly during my second pregnancy, any way.
>Hope everything goes well!
>Call me crazy but, something tells me you actually are pregnant. I can be psychic that way.
>You feel them move sooner than the first time, too. Dang, I’m SO glad it’s you and not me!!!
>Yeah, you’re pregnant, I just know it! Keep us posted!
>I am sort of the camp which believes you are pregnant… I know there was that whole Little House on the Prarie storyline about Ma thinking she was preggers when she was actually going into menopause and her body was just really jealous of Laura’s impending bundle of joy… but, I think yours is for realz.
>wait.hard belly? Can someone explain that to me? (obviously I’ve never been preg.)
>Hoping you are with child and everything is just fine.
>Good luck! Yes hard belly. When you are pregnant, as the uterus expands to accomadate baby, it makes the belly hard. It freaked my sister out the first time she felt mine.
>Geez. I just read that and I sound like an idiot. Go me!
>Thanks Mrs. X that explains it. but umm…creepy! I think I’ll stick with the adoption plan!
>And the crying hormones was just what? hee hee. I’ve already read the sonogram post.Congrats!One book I read said that you start showing with the second baby as soon as you find out you’re pregnant.
>That is totally, scarily true. After I took my pregnancy test, I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, Well duh. How could I not have known I was pregnant???
>I’m glad it’s a baby and not your imagination. Congratulations!
>You are SO TOTALLY pregnant… you’re a faucet. Clear indication.
>That blood draw in the beginning is horrific! I am amazed I was still able to get up and walk out of the lab. 🙂
