It's Positive!!!

Lester and I thought it would take forever to get pregnant so we went to the fertility doctor who prescribed the usual and instructed us to take a baby test (thank you dollar tree) before filling them.  So I unwrapped in the usual fasion, peed all over my hand in the usual fashion, cleaned up mess, and waited for the usual negative symbol to appear.  And it did... but then, there was the faintest slightest most exquisitely small line perpendicular to the usual one. 

And so it began, as a slight faint purplely flowery line... and has, within 1 week, turned into a nauseating, swollen, fat, stretch-marked, starving state of what my mother says is a healthy pregnancy.   We'll see.  I know it is a beautiful thing and I am so very happy and this is exactly what we wanted, but I cant quite see through the nausea right now, and my boobs are giant and hurt so bad and I cant sleep for some reason and uHHHH.  Breathe.  This too shall pass.  All I know about preganancy is what I've seen my sisters and friends go through and what my mother tells me... I recall nothing from medical school except it sounded like a state of disease.  Dear Lord help me through this, help me through losing my abs, my /1/2 way decent butt, my tiny boobs, my selfishness, my naps, my long lazy sunday afternoons of reading and cleaning leisurly. 

I realize that all of my besties have been through this.  Monica and Laurin loved being pregnant and dont recall any nausea at all, though Laurin nearly died and had to have liters of fluid drained off her belly every week. I've seen Becky labor and it looked horrifyingly painful.  Bri vomitted in the bathroom every morning and at work sometimes.  And my mother... I cannot even compare anyone I know in present day fertilityland with my Mother's feats of pregnancy.  EIGHT TIMES, that is 6.6years of being pregnant, gave birth 8 times WITH NO EPIDURAL.  WENT home to MORE CHILDREN every time.  So I realize you guys have lived through every complaint I can dream up, and I am so glad you still empathize with me.  That is nice. 
Also p.s. we are still getting the dog - I think we're going to name her Nancy, I hope Laurin's mama is ok with this, but I love that name~!  and I cannot think of another one. 
Here she is!  We get her around Valentines day!
