Wow. Just one word, WOW.

So, for this one I'm going to need to give ya'll some background history. Ya'll know I have a five year old and a six month old. Well, after Chucky was born I had a Tubal Ligation done. Hubby and I had decided two kids were enough for us to put through college and raise. And my body was getting older, and more tired. It also took us eight months of trying inorder to conceive Chucky.

Now, fast forward to the past couple of weeks. I haven't been feeling, shall we say, up to par. I was fatigued. I thought it was a mixture of the migraines and allergies. Then, night before last, I felt something brush against the side of my lower pelvic region..... WTF????

I didn't tell hubby about that, at that point. { He had just gone along with me wanting the tubal. But, he has always wanted lots of children, but he understood my reasoning for not. } I just told him that I needed the car the next day so that I could run a few errands. I got an EPT test, took it.

It came back positive.

WTF?!?!?

Hubby and I decided to take the kids next door to our wonderful neighbors to play for the night. We went to the ER. Since, we figured, it was probably an ectopic pregnancy. Those can be extremely dangerous if not caught in time. You can actually bleed to death w/out ever knowing it. Scary huh?

Get to the ER and they take me back w/in the first half hour. Now this is a military ER. NOBODY gets back w/in the first half hour. Unless you're having a heart attack. They rush me through the first couple of procedures, blood pressure, heart rate, blood tests, urine tests, ect...
I get the pelvic exam done. Only words the doctor says at that point are "your uterus is slightly enlarged".... okay..... She decides to send me upstairs to get an ultrasound to see where/if the baby was actually there.

A wheelchair was brought out. Now, I'm one of those kind of people. If I can walk, let me do it, kay? I'm on the exam table two seconds, listening to the tech explain how they might have to do an internal ultrasound to find the baby. No problem. The wand goes down. Wow. There's a baby on the screen. Not just a lil baby at that. Apparently, I'm almost 20 wks pregnant!!!

WTF?!?!?

(and, thankgoodness it's a 'normal' pregnancy)

By the by. I'm 5'2 and about 128lbs. So, not a big girl. How in the hades am I five months pregnant, and not know it?!?!?!?

With my other boys I was huge by now and in maternity clothes....

Thus, the word of the day is WOW.
