So I got home from school yesterday and I was in SUCH a good mood because I was out of school for 11 days for SPRING BREAK! At 5:15 my phone rang and it was my Doctor's office. The nurse was calling to tell me that my hormone levels were low when they read my blood work and could I come in tomorrow to get more blood drawn. The first words out of my mouth were "Well, can we do it on Friday cause I already have plans tomorrow?" (I had a date with Lindsay to crop at ScrapFunattic and NOTHIN gets in the way of my cropping time with my girlies!!) Then my mind snapped back to the reality of what this chica was saying to me... there might be something WRONG with my pregnancy and that I needed to have it checked out!! DUH! I quickly told her that YES in fact I could come in tomorrow!! So I made an appointment and proceeded to call my pregnant cousin Jodi for advice or something! We talked for a while and I decided to then call my SIL Kelli the nurse. She asked me questions about what the OB nurse had said like what levels were off and what the numbers were and of course I knew NONE of the answers to her questions!!! I wish I had her with me at all of my appointments to ask the questions i dont even KNOW to ask!!! The more I thought about what she was saying the more I worried even though everyone told me not to. Couldn't help it. So I got up bright and early and headed to the doctor's office. They ended up sending me to the hospital to get my blood drawn so we could get the results in a couple of hours instead of days. She also sent me off with some literature about hormone levels in the blood. The paperwork only made me feel worse... low levels (which apparently I seemed to have) had NO seemingly positive outcomes.
HOLY CRAP!!
Well, it was a good thing that i had plans at the Attic because my mind was kept busy by my girlfriends and my obsession "Scrapping Booking" (shout out to my girl ELO!!) anywhooo to make a long story short "TOO LATE!!" the nurse finally called me at 3 something and told me "I have good news" From there on i only heard tiny snippets of what she was saying. I have the WORST tendancy to do that... when people are giving me IMPORTANT info that is 'MUST Know,' my mind wanders---WTH is that??? Like when someone is giving me directions to somewhere i am going, I drift off!!! It is CRAZY i must have that rare form of 'important-info- ADD.' SWEET! So all I know is that everything "looks great" now and my levels are where they should be. WHEW, i have stopped FrEaKinG out since I got the call and I have a sonogram scheduled for the 25th cause of course both the sono tech and my OB are off for Spring Break all next week!! What was I thinking... students, teachers, oh yeah and EVERYONE in my OBs office gets the week off! After making 100 calls to let all of my loved ones know that we are a-okay I was off to teach spin class. Needless to say, I couldn't breathe in class but that is another post ALL IN IT'S STINKIN SELF! One final note (along with another oh so beloved Juno Quote)... thank you to all of you who were there for me in my time of worry. It means soo much to have such an awesome support network (and if I didn't call you histerically-- consider yourself lucky, not out of the loop!) BESOS! d

ReplyDeleteSorry you were so stressed yesterday. Just another sign that this could be that baby boy that everyone is secretly hoping for.
