So yesterday, after having tender breasts and a sudden dislike for the smell of FryLight cooking spray, Ashley and I decided to make the journey to Tesco and buy a ClearBlue pregnancy test (my period was due 24th Feb).
It came up positive! This was our first try! So the result just felt absolutely surreal. There were also a few tears.
We felt the need to go back to Tesco and pick up another test, ‘just in case’. This was also a positive. Sitting on the bathroom floor with A waiting on the little digital test window to show ‘pregnant’ and then ‘1-2 weeks’ was just insane. Good insane.
Now, I am a google-r, a researcher. Always have been, it is actually annoying and takes up so much time and effort to ensure that I am getting the very best of whatever it is that I am looking into, but that it’s also affordable. So the best that I can possibly afford. It takes hours, sometimes days.
Being a crazy researcher, I looked into pregnancy at 1-2 weeks. Never do this. Chemical pregnancies and early miscarriage just seemed to keep popping up so today…I spent the entire day, every 20 mins, checking for blood, to see whether I had lost the baby.
This is going to be a long 9 months.
