When you hit the jackpot.......


WE ARE PREGNANT! - well, I am at least!

Typing those words makes me feel like doing pretend Lamaze breathing.

The story:

Monday February 9, 2009 I came home from work at my normal time. I sat down at the computer and went through my pattern; Yahoo email, Facebook, Myspace, Thenest.com, and then CNN. As I sat there I realized that I still had not gotten my dreaded period. After an hour of convincing myself I should take a pregnancy test, I finally did.

The result: "HOLY CRAP, IS THAT A LINE? No, its not a line. HOLY CRAP, ITS A LINE!"

I called Shay who was still at work and told him that I needed him to come home, NOW. He argued with me for a few minutes because he was going to be home in an hour and half for dinner. There was NO WAY that I was waiting that long. As Shay walked in the door I threw the pregnancy test in his face and yelled that he had hit the bulls eye! Needless to say, he had the biggest grin on his face and gave the best hug and kiss of our 7 year relationship so far!

We didn't get a chance to really celebrate since Shay was dealing with 3 project deliveries. On Valentines day (the first day we actually got to see each other for longer then 2 hours) we decided that we would tell our parents and siblings. ALL of our parents gave us the reactions that we were hoping for! It was the best Valentines day we could have asked for! We spent the evening dining at The Cheesecake Factory and talking all about baby.

This is going to be such an amazing journey! We are excited to be doing this for the very first time and we cant wait for the day we can tell the world. Our first doctors appointment is scheduled for March 4, 2009. Hopefully, an ultra-sound will be done and we will be able to see the heart beat.

SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!

Currently: 5 weeks 2 Days
EDD: October 18, 2009
