38 Days

This pregnancy has not been without its moments of stress from the very beginning. Here are the highlights:
  • My doctor tried to "cancel" my second cycle. An ultrasound had revealed four mature eggs--something I thought was a very good sign. To my doctor that spelled "quadruplets."
  • The day after my positive test, my dog Harriet passed away suddenly.
  • Of course, after my positive test, I then had to wait another two weeks to confirm that there was only one little lima bean-shaped entity in there.
  • My regular OB decided that during an internal exam was the appropriate time to tell me that I was hopelessly emotional and should find another doctor.
  • My relationship with my mother became increasingly strained after I made out my will--not naming her guardian of my unborn child--and we're now almost completely estranged.
  • The alternative birthing center I switched my care to decided to close five weeks before my due date.
  • After spending the weekend in a hotel room with four dogs I arrived home to find that all of the shelves in my walk-in closet had collapsed. What a mess.

Luckily my friends have been supportive through the ups and downs. :-)
