29.12.10.
This day will stand out in my mind forever, because it's the day I found out I was going to be a mum.
I'd been having nausea and tiredness for a couple of weeks, but because of my illness (most likely Sarcoidosis) I didn't think too much of it. I was due on my period on Christmas Eve, and when I woke up and went for a pee there was a little dark discharge, just like I get before the blood arrives each period. When nothing had come by Christmas Day, nothing by Boxing Day, nothing by the next day, I started to get hopeful.
I'd been hopeful before, but I'd been late before too. I was 11 days late in April and 5 days late in October.
When I noticed my boobs were really sore and that I was having abdominal cramps, I started to get REALLY hopeful.
Yesterday I had to go to the dentists to have a tooth pulled out, and afterwards we went to the supermarket so I bought 2 tests.
On the way back from the supermarket we stopped off to buy a bed (as you do!) so when we got in I did a test there and then. I left it on the side for 2 minutes and nothing happened, so I took it out to the kitchen with a view to throwing it away. I got distracted because we had friends coming round, so only got around to picking the thing up about 10 minutes later. I was just about to put it in the bin when I noticed a faint pink line. I came into the living room, told James there was a line and stood underneath the light to see better.
Yes, there was definitely a second line! I'm so glad I looked at the test again before I threw it away. I don't know what made me do it!
I did a second test this morning just to be sure, and there were 2 lines again.
I'm going to be a mummy!
YES!!!!!!
YAY!!!! Thats so wierd as thats almost what happened to me!! I did the test and nothing.... I was brushing my hair in the bathroom mirror and picked up the test to take it downstairs to throw in the bin and there it was... the faintest of lines. I used the same test as you btw :o)
ReplyDeleteIf you do it again in a week the second line comes up more or less right away along with the first one.
SOooooooooooo pleased for you!
Thanks hon :D
ReplyDeleteHehe. I did the test again yesterday and left it with my mum as a souvenir. It was barely any darker, but I'm too impatient to use morning pee. I've realised tomorrow is a bank holiday so I'll go to the docs on Tuesday.
