Test Results!

Well, every time I have talked to my sister-in-law, Alison, since I found out that I was pregnant, it just about KILLS me not telling her. I think Tommy was annoyed that I had told a few people and he hadn't so I told him that he better hurry and tell her before I accidentally slipped. So he told Alison and his parents on Sunday.

Although I hate to have every one's pity if I miscarry, it couldn't hurt to have some more prayers on our side too, so I figured it would be okay. Tommy let me talk to Alison after he had told her and her reaction was great too. Although she DID say that she hopes I get stretch marks!!! :) I am so glad we told her. She is another one that I have a hard time keeping things from.

I was working out at my friend Cherie's house when the nurse called with the results. She said that my levels were at 2091!! YAY!!! She said that was great and asked if I knew a good day to make an appointment for my ultrasound. I told her I'd look at my calendar and call her back. That was partly because she was the nurse from the other doctor that I saw and not mine. But it also gave me an 'easy out' from both of them, because I am really thinking seriously about going with the midwives down in Pocatello. But we'll see.

Right after I hung up, Ali called. She was happy to hear the news! Then Jeanne called. She said that when Tommy told her that I was pregnant she got the chills. He asked her why and she said that about a week ago the thought came to her, "Lorraine is pregnant and she's having a girl." She quickly dismissed the idea having known my fertility troubles in the past. The odds weren't really in my favor, having miscarried the only pregnancy I'd ever had 13 1/2 years ago at 7 weeks, having already adopted 4 children, and in the meantime having went through two laparoscopy's just to find out that I had severe endometriosis and that my right ovary was completely embedded into my ureter and my left was VERY misshaped. I can see why she dismissed the thought. So she was very happy to hear the news too.

After we got done working out, I called Tommy and my mom and sister to let them know too. They were all happy. Now I just need to figure out what I am going to do about doctors. I guess I'll have to do some more research. I'm still leaning towards the midwives though.
