Blog world: About my absence...

These are the flowers my sweet husband gave me on Sunday.

Yes, Sunday was Mother's Day. My first Mother's Day.

I only took a million of these just to be sure.

(and I do mean a million...this is not HALF of them---took one once a week until my 8 wk apt)

So, here is the story. I didn't have my period so I took a test. Negative. Ok cool. Whew! A week later, still no period. Called the Doctor. Hey what is wrong with me? I am super late. I am never this late. She says to take another test. So what do I do? Go to the tanning bed. Then pick up another test on the way home from work (mind you, this is the week I painted our bedroom...prime, trim, paint, another coat of paint...by myself...awesome). It is positive. And it isn't just pink line positive, it says pregnant. Immediately, I get the other test out and I of course held it the wrong way and ruined it!! After pacing the house, talking to the dog about it, and showering, I pack the dog up (why I took him with me I dont know?!) and we head to CVS for more tests.

They are all positive.

Obviously.

The hubs comes home from golf and I just tell him to come here. Now. All of my tests are laying out on the counter. Pregnant. Pregnant. Pregnant. Two Pink lines. Luckily, he always knows how to make me laugh. He says "soo....what does that mean?" Thank God. Ha! Then he said "YAY?" and hugged me and told me how great this was going to be.

So 5 minutes later, we went to go pick up his friend that was staying with us for the weekend. We couldn't even discuss it. It was crazy. I mean, find out that news and then you cannot talk about it. WOW. The next day was that St. Patty's Day I was so looking forward to. Obviously, I did not go. That would be WAY to obvious if I didn't drink. It is just a beer drinking thing. And I love beer. So, that was sad.

But we are so happy!! And I am so relieved after 2 months of fear, anxiety, and major nerves, we are able to tell our friends and extended family and have a little more peace about the sweet little egg (as my little brother calls him/her).

12 1/2 weeks

I have been crazy tired, had headaches and cramps, but I am thankful to say NO SICKNESS :) Look, see how tired I am (under eye baggage)...

So...thanks if you are still reading my blog. I know I haven't updated much, but this is ALL I think about. There was nothing I could blog about...it would have been fake and terrible. I tried.

Due date: Nov 19th....turkey baby.
