Bump or bloat?

So 3 days ago I took this pic of me at 9w2d.  This was before I ate and after I used the restroom (hence my surroundings).

What do you think?  I think it's a mixture.  I'll take a pic after I eat one day this week for comparison purposes.

I'm what?

Pregnant. 


After my cycle have been MIA for 2 weeks, I finally decided to go get tested.

I remember the day so vividly.  It was October 14, 2010 around 11:30 am (my father's birthday, how wonderful?). 

The clinic was great!  They had me do a self-administered test.  I had to pee in a cup.  Bring the pee out of the bathroom and place it on the "testing counter".  I was given this plastic disposable syringe type thing to collect a few drops of pee in.  Then I had to let 3 drops of pee land on the testing area of the test.  Within seconds, a pretty obvious POSITIVE appeared.

I kind of figured that that would be the result but somehow I was still shocked. 

Shortly after, I left the clinic with my "Verification of a Positive Pregnancy Test" in tow.

Back to work I went...
