An Introduction

Me: 33, working, ob/gyn, married four months.
I work in healthcare. I recently got married to the man of my dreams. Accepting the man of my dreams meant I had to accept the concept of family.

I have never been adverse to the idea of family persay... I just never imagined that it would be me carrying a child or raising a family.

So one day, while praying for a big event in my life, I told God that if things went as I wanted I would break down and have a baby. Well, waddayouknow -- 2 weeks later the pregnancy test is positive.

Now I have pregnancy tests very easily available at work, so I didn't want to believe that one. It wasn't positive enough -- therefore 5 pregnancy tests were needed to confirm it in my brain.

And now here we start this journey.

I have a goal -- though leery (but a bit excited), I am inherently a private person and I do not want my whole office involved with this pregnancy for as long as I can pull it off. This is going to be the difficulty.

I broke down and told my best friend yesterday, swearing her to secrecy. My husband is the only other person who knows.

We are planning to have an ultrasound done for pregnancy dating in a couple of weeks by a friend in the middle of the night on a weekend.

This new journey begins.....
