It's Official

It wasn't until June 30th that the doctor officially declared me pregnant. Two blood tests confirmed what the now 4 home pregnancy tests did, but until they saw the heartbeat, they wouldn't say the 'p' word. That was a bit frustrating. But, when we saw the heartbeat - an extremely strong one, so said the doc - it finally felt real.

We had a few tense moments while the doctor checked for twins (he said my hcg numbers lead him to believe it was a possibility), but alas, I was only carrying one little one. Once the doctor was convinced me and the baby were in good shape, he announced that he was releasing me to my OB-GYN. More tests ahead. And only 4 weeks before we spill the beans.
