I don't quite know how to begin this blog. I'm currently in a state of utter and absolute shock and disbelief. I can't even believe I'm blogging about this, but I have no idea what else to do at the moment. Watching Ellen or Maury right now just doesn't seem to cut it.
About 30 minutes ago, I took a pregnancy test and I'm pretty sure it said that I'm pregnant. Now see, I seem to remember people on television and in the movies being so happy after taking such a test and getting the same results. I, on the other hand, am in total shock. I'm 37 and in a somewhat precarious living situation and have absolutely no business being pregnant....and yet, I think I am. I do not even have health insurance at the moment. It was just one of those things I thought I would get around to soon enough. Well TOO LATE NOW huh?
Life is crazy isn't it. When I was 24, all I wanted in the whole world was to have a baby. Back then, I would have given my right arm in order to be pregnant. I went through a whole deal about having stage 4 endometriosis and having several doctors and fertility specialists tell me I had less than a 10% chance of ever having a baby. I went through a bout of depression followed by an unparralled determination to adopt a baby despite the low odds of that happening, or so I was told. I ended up being a foster mother to my now son and got him when he was 3 weeks old. He's now 8. Then I was quite surprised to learn that I was 3 months pregnant with my other son, now 4 1/2. The look on my doctor's face when he performed the ultra-sound, was unforgettable. And now, after I had finally come to the realization that I'm too old to have children and being settled in the fact of having two boys, I thought my family was complete.
The problem is, now I'm worried I may have an eptopic pregnancy, since I was also told I was at a greater risk for such a thing.
I'll blog more once I come out of this shock........


Wow, New, you really are confused now:) I've used pregnancy tests in my lifetime, however, I could never read the results. They always looked positive and negative simultaneously.
