Knowledge is Power...or so I thought

After my frantic visit to the doctor's to confirm my pregnancy, I began searching for knowledge. Never being pregnant before, I had next to no idea what to expect. I didn't know how I was supposed to be feeling, what to be eating and through reading, what not to be eating. I searched the internet for probably a week straight trying to cram as much information in my head as possible. Sites I find along my way that help me out will be listed at the side. I also went out and purchased a couple of books, which are nice to have too. It's always relaxing to sit back with a nice cup of coffee, which by the way...you have to monitor how much caffine you're consuming, and flip through a few pages.


Here are books I have began reading that I have found to be very useful.

All of these books can be purchased at your local book store and can also be found on Amazon.com new or used.

So....I Guess This Means I'm Pregnant

It was February 24 the day I found out I was pregnant. I had taken a pregnancy test about a week prior and I thought it was a negative test. After still not getting my period, I decided to take another test. I got the same result as I did the first test I had taken. I decided since the outcome didn't seem clear to me, I would call the toll free number on the back of the box. The nurse on the phone confirmed my results to me. Both tests in fact had positive results. Still in disbelief, I decided to buy just one more test. Just to be sure. Maybe this lady was wrong. So I purchased a different type of test. No lines or dots or colours to read. I had to go more technical. Digital. I purchased a Clear Blue Digital Pregnancy Test. This was the Cadillac of all home tests. I had to know right away so I went to the bathroom in the store since Cameron had dropped me off to go get gas. I took the test and waited... the longest 3 minutes of my life. I was so scared. I had a million things going through my head. Then I looked. The test read "PREGNANT". My stomach went into my throat. I discarded the test, swallowed my stomach and went outside to wait to be picked up.

Cameron didn't know that I was taking a pregnancy test, nor did he know I had taken one earlier that day. He knew I was late and that was enough for the time being. He pulled up, I loaded my bags and got into the car. We pulled away, I put my seat belt on, and began to cry. He stopped the car to see what was the matter and I told him. He couldn't figure out whether I was happy or sad or disappointed. Truth is, I was overcome with a million emotions all at once. He was nothing but happy. I think he had been waiting for this day for a very long time. I quickly pieced myself back together as we were on our way to a birthday party for my niece and I didn't want people to know I had been crying or know I was preggo. This subject was closed for discussion until this night was over.
