April 2014: A Trip to the Drug Store

My period was late, again.  This time, after taking several home pregnancy tests that faintly came up as "positive," I decided to get a digital test to confirm it.  So, one quick trip to CVS and case closed:  Pregnant!  Say what???  We couldn't believe that it happened so fast, as so many people struggle with this, and it certainly doesn't get any easier when you enter the 30+ age range.  But, I will admit that Jeremy and I exchanged some high-fives and considered ourselves very blessed.  I called Dr. T to make an appointment, only to discover that I had to wait almost another month for my first prenatal appointment! This is totally the norm, apparently, that patients aren't seen until at least 8 weeks pregnant, sometimes more.  So, the slow countdown began and Jeremy and I kept our exciting news to ourselves.  And, since I now had an appointment set for May 7, I figured I would just mention the issue with my breast then.  No big deal.
