Catherine's Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

March 17, 2003

The events of this last week are rather ironic considering the thread of my last post. I hope to get back to my life story shortly and finally wrap it up,but needed to tell you what has been going on with me. This past cycle we had a horrible flu with high fevers etc. that took a whole month to really be over. At some point I realised my period was late and ran and got a pregnancy test.The test was negative. I ordered some online tests thinking:Oh,its going to be one of those months! After being a 28 day girl all my life,these crazy 40's cycles are a bit much. Last week,I kind of felt pregnant(in the back of my mind)but also kept feeling crampy like AF was coming. I also figured out that I had had O symptoms late in my cycle. Friday I started bleeding and Friday night dreamed I was up on one of those rock-climbing walls and I knew I was pregnant and people were telling me to be careful. I woke up feeling awful and feeling like my heart was telling me to stay in bed all day. I got up to take care of my younger ones and couldnt help myself,next thing I knew I was changing beds and throwing sheets in the wash. I began bleeding and cramping heavily and spent the rest of the morning/early aftenoon in bed. When the mail came - lo and behold,there were the pregnancy tests. I decided to do one in light of the dream and odd period and it was POSITIVE. Its amazing because in the midst of feeling:These are not the circumstances one wants to see a positive,I still had the same feelings of elation that one would have under better conditions. Yesterday the bleeding had stopped and turned pink. Then after lunch time had picked up again. Today there is none. I will continue to hope and pray and rest. By my O symptoms it would even be too early to tell much by an ultrasound. Blessings upon you all this week,Catherine
