Ok so I have been meaning to do this for a while, but have been kind of busy and distracted.  The week before christmas was a busy time for us, but I was also dealing with some personal things.  I had been what I thought was PMS’ing for about a week and a half and had not started yet.  So the wheels started turning and I began to suspect I was pregnant.  I was a little nervous about what Andy would feel and think because we had not really talked about whether or not it was time to start trying.  I was out shopping that friday night and thought about getting a test and taking one, but I got distracted by having dinner with a friend.  So on Saturday, I finally mentioned it to Andy while we were on our way to Walmart to pick up some last minute things before getting ready for the family christmas party.   I told him I was a few days late and some weird stuff was going on.  He said he was aware of that, surprised me that he was paying that close of attention with everything else that had been going on.  Anyway, he talked me into taking a home pregnancy test.  Wouldn’t you know that by the time we got home and stuff i was unable to go to the bathroom.  Any other time I have to go as soon as I get home, no matter how long I have been out.

So the first time I took the test (first time EVER taking one of these) I thought maybe I did it wrong, but we got two lines, the second one being kind of faint.  I told Andy, well it looks positive, but maybe we should do the other one (as two come in a box) in the morning when the HCG (?) levels are at their highest.  But you know there is no way I was waiting til morning.  So right before we headed out the door to go to the family party I did the other one.  WOO HOO…same results!  I was still a little nervous and still not sure what Andy was thinking.   Of course I cried (its what I am good at…hehe) and he held me and made some jokes about little ones and stuff.    So I had to ask him what he thought just to be sure it was ok to be happy!  I know sounds a little ridiculous but I wanted him to be ok and happy with the news.  He was ok with it and we decided to tell my mom when we got to the house so she could be the first to know.  She was happy for us too…cried with me….and then my cousin walked in and thus began the night of telling everyone the great news and the wonderful christmas present Andy and I had received.

I did go to the doctor the following monday to have the bloodwork done and it came back positive.  Tomorrow I go in to see the nurse and we go from there.

Needless to say this will be a Christmas to remember!
