To Be 4 Weeks Pregnant

It feels no different than if I was not pregnant at all.

I took another digital test this morning. Yep, still pregnant. It is still really early as I just found out on Wednesday. (3 days ago). I have my first exam on March 11th which will put me at 7 weeks. First exams are usually set between 7 - 10 weeks, because the doctors want to make sure that the pregnancy sticks. Many miscarriages occur within the first few weeks, so they don't want appointments scheduled unneccessarily. I am praying that I do not have to cancel my appointment. Pray for me too, ok? Although, at this point no one but my husband even knows I am pregnant, so I guess I don't have a whole lot of people out there that can pray for me. Oh well!

I remember freaking out on the phone with the person trying to schedule my first prenatal appointment with baby #1. "What do you mean you don't schedule appointments until then? This is my first child and I don't want to wait until the end of the first trimester. The first trimester is the most important and I have so many questions". Can you imagine me, the crazy newly pregnant lady, on the phone with this poor appointment setter? She finally let me come to the office and pick up all the literature that they usually give out at that first appointment. Phew, much better. I remember that day. It was also a Wednesday, and I dragged Keith to Target to buy Prenatal vitamins and every pregnancy book ever written. I still have those books, so I am good to go. However, there is one more I need to buy this time around, "Your Pregnancy at 35". Ugh!
