Getting the call

A year ago today I received that call! After my 7 day bed rest our life returned to a somewhat normal state. I still would get shots in my hips every night at 7 p.m. My parents would come over my mom would give me one shot or some nights it was two. Those shots in the hip were painful to the point where it hurt my mom to give them to me because I would just be cringing. My dad would come over to have desert and watch TV. Of course every waking hour I would think to myself am I pregnant? I was bloated, but it could have been from all the medications. So on August 27, 2008 my morning went like this. The doctors office opens at 6:30 a.m. and I had to be at work at 7:30 so my appointments were usually at 6:45 since my work was like 5 minutes away. So I drive to the doctors so they can draw my blood. Now one would hope they would just run my blood down to their lab and process the results. NO!! They call you! I contemplated going to work that day, but I figured I would just drive home and sit with a blanket over my head waiting. At least at work I would have distraction. After the nurse drew my blood she says, "Now Lindsay where can I call you?" I told her to call Jeffs cell. Jeff and I agreed that he could handle the news better then I could so we wanted them to call him. I then go to work. So I had my blood drawn at 6:45 a.m. and the nurse said they would call between 11:00-12:00 p.m. Are you kidding me? Thats a long wait, but I figured we have waited years for this whats a couple of hours. At work of course I think I was just in a daze all morning reading into every cramp I felt and bloating I saw. The 11:00 hour came and I seriously was shaking and just staring at my computer. I think around 11:20 my cell phone rang and I looked at the number and it was my fertility doctor I was ready to grab my trash can underneath my desk and throw up instead I quickly got up and shut my office door. Without saying Hello our conversation went like this:
Me: Your not supposed to call me
Dr. Werlin: LB (thats was my nickname he gave me) but I wanted to call you
Me: I know but you need to call Jeff
Dr. Werlin: I already talked to Jeff I don't want to talk to him. I want to talk to you
Me: You do
( at this point he puts me on speaker and I hear him counting 1, 2, 3)
Dr. Werlin and all his staff yell: YOUR PREGNANT!!!!
Me: I just cried I put my head down on my desk and just cried. I had no words.
I finally did speak and I just thanked him for everything and he told me not to thank him I did all the hard work. I told him if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be hearing those words.
I quickly got my purse and opened my office door and left to go meet Jeff for lunch in Lake Forest. We had decided to meet for lunch no matter the outcome. I drove in a complete fog. As soon as I saw Jeff I just ran up to him gave him a huge hug and said Your going to be a Daddy!!!
We were just so excited that whole day and night. It was such a wonderful day!
I still had to get blood drawn 3 more times they like to make sure the numbers are doubling each time. The shots in my hips continued until I was 12 weeks pregnant. We found out it was twins around the middle of September, 2008. That is definetely one phone call I will never forget! And now its so wonderful as I type this to look up and see our two little miracles here. Ahhh:)
