Thoughts 5 days later

Okay so where to start. According to the 6 pregnancy tests I've taken, I'm still very much so pregnant, see:

I love how the lines keep getting darker and darker!!!

I called my doctor first thing Monday morning and they immediately referred me out to an OB, I guess my doctor is only a gyn. Had I known this before I would have started this process earlier, he made no mention of it when I started asking him pg questions and told him we were TTC. Anyhow, he referred me to someone who wasn't accepting new patients so I called back and got another recommendation. I called this doctor and the receptionist was extremely rude, I mean extremely. She acted like I was supposed to know the doctors schedule and god forbid she have to look something up twice. Being paranoid I made the earliest appointment they would give me, May 20th.

I called my DH upset that this lady was so rude and the doctor didn't even deliver at the hospital where I want to deliver. I started researching the specific hospital, which is 30 minutes away, and all the doctors we're either listed at La Clinica (paranoid white girl here) or an hour away.

Thanks to one of the local ladies on GP (thank you KC21) I was pointed in the direction of the Northern California Babies board on the bump, where I got the pleasure of shocking them all into their first post about a 2010 baby. I asked for recommendations on OB's and/or delivery hospitals and those ladies were more than helpful. One even referred a Dr at the hospital I want to deliver at, so I googled the heck out of his name. From the internet he seems to be an awesome doctor, nothing but rave reviews (except 1 but you can't please everyone). His office is right across the street from the hospital and his receptionist is super, super helpful. She even told me exactly what I needed to do in order to keep him as an OB when I change my insurance at the end of this month. That being said, I now have an appointment with him on May 15th @ 2:45 pm. I am expecting a packet in the mail of all the registration stuff, they don't like making people fill it all out in the office (this is much appreciated). I am so excited!!!

Other than that, as of now, no one knows we're pregnant (except DH told some life insurance guy). I had planned to tell my mom and BFF the day I found out but the timing just didn't work as I didn't want to tell my mom over the phone! I decided to wait until mothers day to tell them.

For my mom, I got her a t-shirt from vista print, weird I know but in all my free ordering from them for my wedding I got her a shirt then that said "Billie and Steve's Wedding, July 26, 2008, Mother of the Bride". She absolutely loves that shirt, I have no clue why but she loves it so I figured I would do the same for the baby. I got her one that says "Property of Grandma" with the XXL sports logo and then on the bottom I put " Est. January 2010". I also plan on giving her a frame that says something along the lines of "Grandma and Me" and putting a picture of the positive digital HPT in it. I'm still debating on whether to get her a card signed by us w/ the baby or make her open the gifts to figure it out. Oh and my brother and I are also getting her a Wii so she will be uber happy on Sunday!

For my BFF, I am making her a card. On the front I am going to put a picture I took of her daughter (who I was watching last week) with a word bubble saying "Mommy, I know something you don't know" and when she opens it I have another pic of her daughter with my HPT (I held it in front of her, she's only 3 months) and I'll put, "Guess what this says?" You really can't see the "pregnant" part in the pic, but you can definitely see the EPT logo.

So needless to say, it's been an exciting week and will be an exciting weekend. Steve said, "Oh great now I have to get you a mothers day gift!" I told him a card was fine because he always gives me the best cards. Actually he always give me two, one romantic and one funny! Overall he has been the sweetest guy ever these last few days, the other night I was at the computer and he was getting into the fridge, he turned to me and said " You know, you're really beautiful!" he then explained that he was watching me sleep the night before, he made me tear up!! Of course 10 minutes ago he texted me with "I love you, baby mama. Lol" He's such a goofball!

I know that's a lot of reading, I commend you if you got all the way through, that's my recap of the last 5 days!!!!
