We're having a baby!!

A couple of nights ago Jon and I made the realization that I was a few days late for a visit from my monthly "friend." This isn't an unusual situation in our household and so we made a quick trip to the grocery sotre fore a pregnancy test. As soon as we got home I ran upstairs and took the test. After about a minute one bright red line appeared on the stick- not pregnant. So I tossed the test into the trash and we both went to bed a little let down. Now we haven't been "trying" for very long. Infact I wouldn't even call it "trying", I would call it "not, not trying".

Anyway, around 3 in the morning Gavin woke me up wanting a drink. After getting him situated I headed to the bathroom to use the potty. Before heading back to bed I picked up the test and took another look at it figuring "What the heck, a second glance wouldn't hurt." I examined the test carefully and saw the same single red line that had been present before...... but wait.... almost not there at all was a faint pink 2nd line. "A 2nd line?! JON!!!" I woke Jon up and showed him the test.... he smiled and said "We're pregnant!"

So I called my midwife's office this morning and talked with Anita's nurse, Chastity. I told her that I had taken a test and that the 2nd line had just barely appeared and she said "Yup, you're pregnant!" We talked a little bit and determined that right now I'm about 4 weeks along. My due date will be around the 5th of January if I calculated it correctly. We set up an appointment for the end of the month to get the ball rolling and we'll be able to hear the baby's heart beat for the first time ever!!!

Yesterday I went to lunch with my mom and showed her the pregnancy test. She was really happy for us and is excited to have another Grandbaby. She told my Dad later that night and I think my Dad is excited too but he doesn't show it as much. I also called Jenny late last night and told Stacie this morning. Everybody has their concerns about it being so early but Jon and I are confident that this is what Heavenly Father wants for us right now and that we're going to have another normal and healthy pregnancy.

I think I'll wait a few more weeks to tell my friends and the rest of the family but who knows, I might get too excited and spill the beans a little early :)

So far I'm feeling great. I do however, feel abnormally tired. It's hard to stay away from the soda and the coffee to keep me awake. But all the sacrifices will be so worth it when we have a happy and healthy baby in January! I'm PREGNANT!!!
