Today isn't a good day. I feel anxious and overwhelmed, burdened by this little secret, which I dreamed would be a source of joy and happiness, but instead has turned into a source of fear and frustration.

You might be able to guess what occupies my mind and heart --a positive pregnancy test last week, followed by a trip to see Dr. Sych's today. I had hoped I'd walk out of the good doctor's office happy and confident, but instead I feel gloomy and doubtful. I'm not saying all hope is lost that the tiny speck on the ultrasound won't turn into something magical, but my checkered fertility history and a lack of physical symptoms tell me fulfillment is unlikely. Even my doctor warned not to be too hopeful, but I can't help but hope we're both being cautious and doubtful for no reason.

About 36 hours from now, blood test results will provide clues and offer me either despair or reassurance. In the meantime, I ask for your positive and hopeful vibes on this day. I could sure use the boost.
