Amy's Pregnant!!
Hey Everyone!!
We are expecting our first child in October of 2007. It was a very stressful end of January when Amy became very sick with flu-like symptoms along with a fever and a serious bout with an upper respiratory infection. She started feeling ill on a Sunday afternoon after spending the weekend in a cabin with her sister's family. As you may or may not know, we have been trying to conceive. Amy was a real trooper and refused to take any medication (ibuprofen) for her fever and other symptoms as she didn't know whether she was pregnant or not. After considering the options, I strongly recommended taking one ibuprofen to see if it would help ease the issues going on. Amy was still very sick on Monday, so she called a new doctor's office (didn't get a family doctor in the area yet) and was fortunately able to get in right away. The doctor took Amy's history and Amy noted that she was trying to get pregnant. The doctor said that they treated patients who are trying to get pregnant the very same way they treat patients who are pregnant and requested Amy's authorization for administering a pregnancy test. Amy, of course, consented. The doctor did the routine checks of blood pressure, temperature (101.9), etc. and then left. Upon her return, she diagnosed Amy as having a bad upper respiratory infection and proceeded to tell Amy how she would treat her. Then... said that she would not be able to prescribe anything for her because the test was positive!! Amy responded "what test?" The doctor said your pregnancy test. With which Amy answered "What does that mean?". The doctor said that you are pregnant (I'm still wondering if the doctor said this with a straight face). Amy was really out of it with the aches and pains of the high fever and coughing, etc. so I'm sure she wasn't all there that day because the same banter happened a second time. After settling herself down and getting home, she called the ob/gyn and made our first appointment on Feb. 16, 2007. Now you have our latest scoop! Stayed tuned as we experience the nuances of becoming a parent. This will be a very interesting and exciting journey.
