Alrighty, here's where we are at.
The plus side - I'm no longer feeling like vomiting, though it seems may days are fill with constantly, constantly, constantly thinking about it.
After reading many of the posts here, I decided to have a relatively frank discussion with my wife. I explained how I'm feeling about the situation, and she did as well. She appears to be a bit excited now - after the initial terror, it seems like she's getting a bit used to the idea and perhaps is even looking forward a little bit to it. I'm just about the same. It still doesn't feel real, and I think largely because I'm still in a bit of denial. No doctor has confirmed she was pregnant, and although we both wanted to make an appointment ASAP with the lady doctor, we were basically told "If you took the test and it was positive, she's pregnant. We want to see her at 8-10 weeks, not before. So the appointment is scheduled for July 10th. The wait is going to kill me, though I understand rationally that there is probably a 99% chance she is pregnant (every day becoming more and more likely without her monthly visitor) I still haven't fully embraced the idea. I can't be certain, but I think a doctor's confirmation will get me a long way towards.... wherever I'm supposed to be.

Though I'm sure this might open a can of worms, I honestly wouldn't be opposed, but is fairly pointless to even enterain the idea because my wife is adamently against it. I do appreciate the stones it took to be the first actually post this though
Obviously, I'm not in the "Abortion is Murder" camp, but it isn't like I didn't know there were risks involved, I just assumed (therin lies the problem) that it wouldn't happen, what with the 98% effectivness and all.
We'll have to kinda see where this goes - at the very, very least, this has been a huge learning experience for me - already I unconciously differenciate "before pregnancy" and "after pregnancy"
Anyway, thanks for all of your support and sharing your experiences - it's nice to see that what I'm currently feeling can somehow down the lane translate to still being a good parent and not hating the life of fatherhood.
