Jack and I both did not sleep very well last night. We were constantly tossing and turning…I kept getting up to go to the bathroom and to get a drink of water…slowly but surely the hours were chugging away. Finally our alarms rang at 6am and it was time to get up and get ready for our big moment! I honestly felt like I was going to throw-up and I had the worst bowel movement. We got in the car and I still felt sick to my stomach.
Ugh…
What’s wrong
I feel like I am going to throw-up
How come?
I am so nervous
Why are you that nervous?
Because I just want them to tell us that we are pregnant.
I want that too, but you don’t have to be this worked up. This is just our first step. Sometimes it takes more than one time.
Jack in so many ways is my rock…my voice of reason…he constantly is bringing my emotions down to a grounded perspective. He remained so calm the whole ride to the clinic. We arrived 10 minutes early and he said let’s just wait out here for a bit. I literally waited one minute then said…okay let’s go in. We walked up to the counter, paid our current bill, and had a seat in the lobby. Neither of us knew what to expect.
I was called back and I sat down to have blood work drawn. Jack stood nearby. The nurse said, “today is the day!” I shook my head intently yes it is. After she was finished she stated that we would receive a phone call this afternoon. Wait, what?!?!?!
More waiting!
I wish I would’ve asked what to expect from this appointment. I felt so bad that I had Jack come with me and that both of us were expecting to know if we were pregnant or not. Wishful thinking on our part. I asked what the average turn around time was and she said not to expect a call before 12:00. Ugh…waiting…”the waiting game is too much for the heart.”
So now we wait…
We love you Bear, Jackie, and Peanut!
