I'm Pregnant?

So it's official - I'm pregnant!  Baby is now the size of a lime and we're past the 11 week mark.  The first ultrasound is this coming Monday, January 7, 2013, at which point we'll hear the heartbeat for the first time and have the genetic testing done.  I seriously can't wait.

What makes me even a little more anxious is I've been in bed for 3 days now sick as a dog.  What was originally bronchitis (productive cough and sore chest, plus headache) is now including full/stuffy sinuses - I've already gone through one box of kleenex in less than 24 hours!  And of course, since I'm pregnant, I can't take any meds for it...ugh...

It's such a weird thing to know you're pregnant but not feel it per say.  I mean, I can't feel the baby moving and, and I'm not saying I WANT this, but I haven't had morning sickness or one of those awful first trimesters you often hear about.  So am I really pregnant?  That might be a ridiculous question as I know I am - despite no morning sickness I have had massive fatigue, dizziness, and many of the other wonderful symptoms :) - but I've changed so much of my life (no drinking, lots of sleeping, taking it easy, etc...) without having ever heard the baby's heartbeat, feel it move, etc...  Hence, I'm very excited for Monday when it all becomes "real".

I have had my first doctor's appointment though which went well.  Love my OB (been going to her for a while so didn't have to hunt for one).  They drew 6 vials of blood - yes, 6 - and everything came back great!  However, as Derrick pointed out, they didn't say "yes, you're pregnant", so is it just assumed since my at home tests came back positive?  Or because I'm there and have symptoms?  It's just sort of funny they didn't confirm it.

Nonetheless I proceed believing I'm pregnant.  Can't. Wait. For. Monday.

Okay, enough rambling for now.  Back to bed.
