One faint line!!

On Saturday, I got woke up by the alarm at 7:30am. I forgot to change the alarm time again on the weekend. I shut the alarm off and fell back to sleep. By 8am, I woke up again, half sleep, took my Baby-Comp and started measuring my temperature. I closed my eyes and when it finally and beep, I opened my eyes and saw the temperature reading was 97.88. Wow! It can't be possible. I put it back on the nightstand and tried to close my eyes again. Of course, there was no way I could fell back asleep. I quietly woke up and went to the bathroom and took out my last First Response pregnancy test.

After I took the test, my eyes were still half close while reading the result. As the result kept going, all I saw was that one solid line again on the right hand side. I said to myself, 'oh well, negative again...' After few seconds, I realized a very very faint line started to appear on the left hand side. My eyes started to open bigger and bigger. Was I dreaming? Did I read it right? Or, was it that I stared at it for too long that my sight started to get blurry. I started crying. I didn't know what it was. My tears just keep coming down.

I went back to the bedroom and woke up Steven. He opened his eyes and was shocked to see his wife was crying while holding a stick that looked like a thermometer. He first thought there was something wrong with Cassandra. When he finally realize it, he took it over and read it. Because he was half asleep, he only saw one line and as I asked him to watch it closer, he confirmed that there were 2 lines!

We started to get very excited. We just couldn't stop but keep hugging each other. I wanted to confirm with a doctor, but it was a Saturday! There were no doctors that can confirm it for me! I then thought to myself that I want to tell my mom before she leaves for Taiwan next Friday which means we have to go to NJ/NY that day. Why not go check with a doctor in Flushing? We can tell the news to my mother-in-law as well! Terry and Joanna just got engaged 2 nights ago, we can have lunch with them to celebrate it all together! I checked on Worldjournal's yellowpage on the web and got the number for Tiffany and Joyce's doctor and made an appointment at 1pm! We also arranged our lunch date with Terry and Joanna at 2pm. Because my mother-in-law had to work in the city, we will pass by the city to tell her news before having dinner with my parents in NJ.

At the doctor's office, I was so nervous. The doctor laughed at my nervousness and kept telling me to calm down. Man, it's easy for her to say!! She tried to take an ultrasound and it was way too early to see anything. She then took an urine test and there was one solid and one very faint line as well. Finally, she drawn some blood from me and told me she will call me with the result. At that time, she already confirmed that, YES, I AM PREGNANT!
