Welcome to the Expanding Stobie Family Blog. As you can see this blog is all about the baby that Ray and I are having next April. We are both very excited and are looking forward to holding our precious baby in our arms.
We found out that I was pregnant on 7/31 after a faint positive, did another test on 8/2 and it was also a faint positive, another test on 8/3 and there was no doubt it was a positive. We decided that we had to know for sure so I called my OB/GYN to have a blood test done. I was disappointed to hear that my doctor was on vacation but I was very persistant and they allowed me to go the blood lab to have the test done.
On August 5th it was official. The nurse called me at work and asked me how I was doing and then told me that I was pregnant. I was so happy but I had to keep it private because nobody else knew. The nurse told me that I needed to come in as soon as possible to check my HCG levels. For the next two days I had to have my blood drawn for the tests to ensure that my levels were increasing.
I did however pull a prank on Ray. He was with a member at his work when I tried calling him and we he did call me back I told him that they messed up something with my blood results and they required me to come back in to test again. He said "oh ok" but than I told him no were pregnant, he was so happy.
The doctor came back from vacation and called me at 6pm on Friday August 7th to talk to me about the pregnancy. I was happy to hear that my HCG levels tripled in 2 days. He had to remind me to not read too much into it because it does not mean we were having multiples. Thank goodness I am not having multiples and we are having one beautiful baby.
The first ultrasound was at 6 weeks and 6 days. The babies heartbeat was 150 bpm. Last week we went into the doctor and they found the heartbeat with the doppler and the babies heartbeat was 180 bpm.
