Confirmation at the doctors

After finding the lines on Saturday, Monday morning came and I booked a confirmation appointment at the Doctors (yes the one who suggested IBS!) for the Wednesday.
I patiently waited for the day to arrive and then set off down the road with Chilli. We waited for quite awhile and I was getting increasing anxious as I was due to be at work the next day so should be sleeping by the time that we were still waiting. I needed this confirmation to go ahead and tell my boss we were expecting so I could be taken off all the duties that are part of my job, the daily stretching, the lifting of 15kg weights and all the other random heavy lifting. Because of this I couldnt very well walk out from the doctors and go home, we found out that apparently her computer had registered me as being seen although she had no idea how that could have happened.
Sat in her room, she recognised me straight away as my other appointment had only been on the Friday, she asked what I was in for. The words failed to come straight away and when they finally did it didnt feel right to be saying 'I think Im pregnant' she looked surprised and asked if this could have been related to the bloated stomach Id been having... yes!! the Dr asked this!! So after the usual congratulations and what not, she did my blood pressure, took my details to book me in at the hospital we wanted and led me outside for some free pregnancy tablets and something called Emma's Diary. The whole appointment took no time at all and I was gutted it was so straightforward... I had expected something a little more.. in hind sight what I had expected was probably my booking appointment lol :D

But there we are, I was now able to tell work and looking back now it doesnt seem like four months ago and now its getting so close it worries me.. Allahu alim :) Please remember us in your duaas girls, and now I think I will be posting in real time :) Now everyone has been told and all is moving well alhamdulillah
JazakAllah khair

Our patter

Ive saved these as drafts to be posted in the future when the news is out to everyone. We got our positive test the end of May and have had trouble keeping it secret ever since :)

Anyways, it all started one Saturday morning, for the past week I had had a bloated stomach and after freaking myself out at the Doctors reading an ovarian cancer leaflet my GP proceeded to tell me my symptoms sounded more like IBS. I already had a feeling I might be pregnant, apart from the bloated stomach I was constantly hungry, constantly eating and constantly listening to the growls from my stomach. I got up and sneaked out the pregnancy test while the husband was busy with something, after obviously reading the best times to do it all. I proceeded :) Im not going into details as Im sure you all know what goes on there! I brushed my teeth while waiting but couldnt help taking peeks :) there was mostly some lines already there... I just needed to figure out from the paperwork what they meant. Apparently I was looking for a vertical line in one window which meant the test was working, check! and in the other window I was looking for a cross of some sort, what did I have? a cross... no hang on, wait there.. these things dont just happen so easily!! Was it correct? 3 months?? Surely that cant be right. 

I calmly walk into the living room where the husband is wandering around looking for something. I ask him, have you seen this? does that look like a cross to you? pointing at the second window. His answer, what is it? 'but does it look like a cross' he frowns, pulls his usual Im confused face and again asks the same question. I want to shout it out to him, but I want to make sure Im not seeing things first. Just tell me, is that a cross?? Yeah I guess so, definitely 2 lines... 'well, this means that we might be pregnant' a huge grin bursts across his face, the same grin I saw the first day we laid eyes on each other, the same grin when I first saw him just before we were to be married.. I know that smile, hes happy :) and he hugs me strongly to tell me he so (a man of few words but many actions my husband!) my heart bursts with emotion and love.

So we decide there and then to take one step at a time and not tell anyone until we see 'it'
