Surprise!

So my last post was me being a quitter.  Little did I know I was actually pregnant.  HA.  I took 2 pregnancy tests early June and they were negative.  A week later I still hadn't started my period.  I was annoyed since I figured it was stress.  Two digital tests cannot be wrong right?  Wrong.

I had been annoyed with my body all week and of course whined to Shea.  She gave me her last "cheap" +/- pregnancy test to give me some peace of mind.  The morning of June 9th I peed on the stick and waited 3 minutes (what the directions said - I know how to follow instructions).  NEGATIVE.  I was annoyed!  I told Brad and then we went about our day.  We were having our neighbors Todd and Shea over for dinner so we had some chores to complete that AM.  30-40 minutes later I was tossing something away in the bathroom trash and the cheapie test caught my eye.  I pulled it out the trash and there was a faint +.  WHAT?  What does that mean?  I texted Shea and she said any positive is a positive...I was not so sure since it had been in the trash for a while.  Then I texted Amy.  She said pee on another one, but I am cheap and said I'll have to wait for the AM to pee on my "expensive" digital one.  All I had to do was WAIT!  What's another few hours right?

My next "dilemma" was do I drink?  What if I wasn't pregnant and the much needed drink was not had?  What if I was pregnant and I would be drinking while pregnant?  Decisions.  Finally Brad said you need a drink just drink a beer and calm down.  So yes.  I had a Yuengling (yes just one) while possibly pregnant.  Bad mother.  The night went off without a hitch.  The meal was good and the company was great.  The night kept my mind off the next AM's task at hand.

I woke up bright and early Sunday.  Peed on my last "good" pregnancy test and went and laid down again (yes I washed my hands).  Got up again and when to check it.  I was pregnant!  I don't think I believed it so I carried it over and woke Brad up to make him look at it to.  He looked and agreed and then went to back to sleep.  I was excited.  I texted Shea while she was at church and told her I was a bad mother (for drinking the night before).  Told Amy the same thing while she was at church.  Erin had just texted me and I blurted (texted) it to her.  Then I texted my sister.  We called our parents a day or so later (least we called right?). I guess the 2nd time around you want everyone to know before anything happens (yes that is the bit of pessimism that will creep in).

We scheduled our first appointment for July 3.  In the back of my mind I wanted it further out just in case.  So we had almost a whole month to wait.  Waiting.  My favorite.
