It's True!!

We're pregnant!

It feels so good to tell people now! We found out on January 2nd and have been keeping it to ourselves for the last few weeks, which has felt like and eternity. We're still only 6 weeks and due on September 16th.

One of my biggest fears was not being able to get pregnant when we were ready...well, that fear is long gone. Not that I'm going to divulge much information here, but it didn't take us long! And how I figured it out still makes me laugh...

On the way home from my Mom's the day after New Year's, I had to make Ryan stop a few times during the 2 hour trip so I could pee. Now, most people don't know this (for good reason) but I usually have a bladder of steel. This girl can hold it. Not anymore.

So when we got home I knew something wasn't quite right so I took a pregnancy test on a whim. But I forgot to check it. Instead I left it on the bathroom counter, where Ryan saw it about an hour later. Oops. So much for getting to tell a new father-to-be that fact! He started yelling for me to "get in here" and I had no clue what he was talking about. So off I went, to meet him in the bathroom and see my future. Two pink lines. Of course we did what every rational couple in this situation does; we went to Walgreens and bought 3 more boxes, different brands, of pregnancy tests. Yep, I took every single one. Yep, they all said the same thing: Pregnant.

We did the doctor's appointment and were told we were at 5 weeks and we needed to come back in a week to ensure it was viable. No problem. Now, at 6 weeks and 3 days, we are telling everyone. Yes, I know you're not supposed to until 10 or 12 weeks, but you know what? If something does happen, I want my friends and family to know about it. I want their support. That's not something I would want to keep to myself. So here it is again....WE'RE PREGNANT!!!
