the big one

Tomorrow is a very important day in the lives of myself and my husband. Tomorrow I go to the doctor. Tomorrow I take a monumental test. Tomorrow I pee into a cup. Tomorrow that pee will be sent to the lab. Tomorrow the results of that test could change our lives as we know them FOREVER. Tomorrow the doctor will confirm something I think I already know. Tomorrow�s test is a test I�ve never taken before and it�s not exactly one you can study for - nor is there anything I can do between now and my appointment to change the outcome. For many women the results of this test rightfully induce a whole slew of emotions ranging from happiness and excitement to fear and anxiety but in this moment I am feeling perfectly content. The news the doctor will announce to us tomorrow is exactly the news we want to hear because we are so ready for this. That�s right, the time has come - the husband and I are about to NOT be parents! HA! I totally had you goin� didn�t I? You thought I was pregnant didn�t you? C�mon man, you read entries like this one (particularly the last line) - you KNOW I�m not interested in becoming a mother at this time. How could you fall for that? I mean, especially when I�m like THE worst liar ever and I�m even worse at trying to pull off practical jokes. HA! Seriously though, I AM going to the doctor tomorrow and I AM peeing in a cup and they ARE doing a pregnancy test on said pee. However, it�s only going to confirm that I�m NOT pregnant (thanks to these) so they can do some sorta other vagina-related test. They have to make sure I don�t have cancer or something like that. They do this to me every couple of years because every couple of years the yearly checkup comes back with the word �abnormal� written on it. (If that�s �too much information� for you get the hell outta my blog and take your easily offended/grossed out self somewhere else.) This is the first time they�ve forced a pregnancy test on me though so I�ll certainly be harassing the nurse and doctor with all kinds of �why?� and �what for?� questions before I even THINK about taking my pants off. There�s a ton more that I could go into but let�s just leave it at �doctors are stupid� and I�ll tell you what I find out when I find out if I feel like telling you what I find out when I find it out... |
