Pregnancy scare? Nah, more like a pregnancy worry.

See, we want babies. We would have liked to have had a couple by now but unfortunately the hand that controls my life has said WAIT until recently.

October was a rocky month for medications and the like, with the recent addition of prednisone and Klonopin to the mix. When The G and I weren't as responsible a few weeks ago as we usually are, we did a shoulder shrug and said "If we get a baby, we get a baby" and left it at that. Well, I've been on a LOT of medication, mostly in the classification of DO NOT BE PREGNANT during this time. Aunt Flo is officially late. Late enough to make me start wondering if I should be shopping for cribs and bumper pads.

I cried. I freaked out. I called The G at work and asked him what I should do. I called the doc's office and talked with my favorite medical assistant who suggested I come in and see Kim, the PA and maybe get a pregnancy test.

I showed up. I peed in the cup. I waited. According to the pee, no baby but to be sure, they drew some blood too. I possibly have another kidney stone and Monday they will want to do a CT scan and if I'm pregnant they won't be able to. I'll know tomorrow if blood says no baby.
