I am sitting here writing this post on July 25th, less than a week since I found out that I am PREGNANT!! We are expecting our next little bundle of joy on March 29th, 2012. I just had to get something down now to capture the emotions I've been feeling, but I'm not quite ready to share with the world yet...
So, I took the first test last week on Wednesday, and it had the faintest faaaaiiintest second line on it. Skip and I were both totally confused. Were we or weren't we?! I called my sister the next day and told her what was up, so she and I met in Brookfield that afternoon so that she could give me the extra tests she had at home. Preston was with me, but we actually decided to go ahead into Charcoal Grill to have one "last" drink (both in case I was PG, and also since they were going to be moving and we wouldn't be able to meet). Slap my hand if you want, but I had wine. And a good pour it was. :)
As we were sitting there, Sarah says, "oh just go take the test already!" So, I actually went into the bathroom and took it. I brought it back out in the bag, waited a few minutes, then took a peek. Hmm... Sarah says, "it says pregnant, doesn't it?" Yes it did! Holy crap! Maybe TMI, but I have only been off birth control for less than a month, and we TOTALLY didn't expect it to happen this fast! We're totally prepared and excited, but just surprised at me apparently being Fertile Myrtle!
I drove home with a bajillion thoughts going through my head, and when I showed Skip the test at home, he goes, "yeah?!" He was so happy. :) That's when I started crying :)
We are just SO happy that this has worked out the way it has. I'm feeling pretty good, albeit pretty tired. I am looking forward to the next 9 months of anticipation, but most of all to be able to add another little member to our family in March! (Well, probably April if this little one is anything like his/her brother!)
Now to get the house ready... lord help us!
