September 7, 1999

I am back and with good news! I am pregnant again!!!!! I tested this morning before I went to work and it came up positive. I am still in a state of shock. I must say, I am very nervous at this point of time, as I know I am going to be on tenterhooks for the next few weeks. I am going to ring my doctor today and make an appointment for as soon as I can, to get it confirmed. I haven't told DH yet. It is his birthday tomorrow (that is why I thought I would test) so I am going to go and buy a pair of baby booties and wrap them up for an extra birthday present for him. Thanks, Michelle, for that idea. You are fantastic!! I keep looking at the test stick to make sure it is true! I am shaking and feel really funny. I know I shouldn't worry but I can't help it. I will feel better once I have seen the doctor, I am sure.

I am so glad that the test was positive this morning because last night when I got home from work DH told me that one of our friends is PG with her second child and I felt really mean. I wasn't really happy for her, and I know that is horrible but I couldn't help it. I think I mainly felt that way because when we last saw them she was telling me how they were trying again but she wasn't really sure if she wanted another child, she was really only doing it for her daughter -- so she wouldn't be an only child. I wasn't mad at her but I think I was more bitter that it wasn't me. Well I suppose I don't have to worry about that anymore! I have worked out my due date to be 15th May 2000.

I will post again after I've told DH and when I go to the doctors to let everyone know.

Sending heaps of positive thoughts and good wishes to everyone!
