I called the doctor's office to share the news and figure out how we needed to proceed. This was all so new to me. I knew that I needed to get prenatal vitamins now, so the doctor's office seemed like the right place to start. I didn't have an Ob/Gyn yet so I randomly picked one over the phone from the clinic where I wanted to go...Dr. Anna Griffith! You will see that this choice was a blessing for Jason and I. She was the perfect fit for us! More to follow...

Due to the abdominal pain, Dr. Griffith asked that rather than waiting a month for my first appointment that I come to see her right away. I ended up with an ultrasound...my first glance at a ball of cells. I was definitely showing signs of pregnancy, but Dr. Griffith wanted to make sure I was progressing in the right way. She ordered blood work to see if my HCG levels were elevating as they should be. I would get blood drawn today and then again 2 days later(Wednesday). I would then call the office on Friday when Dr. Griffith was back in the office to get the results. It was the start of a long few days...
