Day #3 after getting my positive!

It is so hard to believe that only 3 days ago I found out I was pregnant!
I feel like those days just crept by!! But in a fantastic way!

Well, last night was another restless night. I DO sleep, but I just dream ONLY about being pregnant or having the baby... then I wake up and I am excited all over again and I can't go back to sleep.

I am a little worried about going to the doctor. Today I just go to my family doctor. Acutally, my family doctor has moved away, so it's not even him, it's another doctor who is filling in for him. The receptionists said that they will confirm my pregnancy today with urine and I will have my first appointment with him. (I guess the office needs to make sure that I am not some crazy lady just saying that I'm pregnant). Then I will be transfered to the "baby doctor" that is in the same office that I have always been going to.

She is the same doctor that Dawn (my SIL) had for her son. She is quite strict on weight gain, which I like. I certainly don't mind gaining weight, in fact, I would LOVE a baby belly right now please! hehe.. but I just don't want to gain unnecessary weight... because I doubt that after this baby is born I will have a chance to work out much to get it off!!

I am meeting with a rep from the union that I work with next week, to see what my rights are as a "term teacher" - as they call it here in NS. I have heard a couple of different stories regarding maternity leave, and honestly, I just want to talk directly to them. I also have a couple of questions about my contract, so I will "kill two birds with one stone" - as they say. I am going to take as much maternity leave as I possibly can... financially. I am not going to tell them that I'm pg. ... just ask about my rights. As much as you don't realize it, Halifax isn't that big of a city, and I really don't want to tell anyone I'm expecting... although I think I have left a few hints with a couple of co-workers already! hehe...

I think my parents have a clue too - they know me too well... and lately I have been talking about babies because it's all I can think about.

BJ and I were shopping last night and we bought little Christmas outfits on clearance.. one boy and one girl.. they were just TOO CUTE to pass up, and they were only 6 dollars each. I just pray that this bean sticks and that we will be able to wear it on our little boy or our little girl.

By the way, I think I'm having a boy... BJ thinks we're having a girl... and we still haven't decided if we want to find out or not. I do know that I want to go to UC baby, where they take the 4D ultrasound.. I REALLY want the teddybear with my baby's heartbeat!!

Ohhhh there are so many things to look forward too... Please God, help this little one to stick.

Well, I guess it's off to work for me again, with little-to-no sleep. I am hoping it was just because I was nervous about the doctor, and that tonight I will sleep a little more sound.
