I'm Pregnant! {Monday, August 1}

Here is the first of several posts I wrote when I found out I was pregnant. They may contain a little TMI {I don't think so, though}, but I was trying to record details. And again, they are p-r-e-t-t-y boring.


This morning, on the two year anniversary of Curran's due date, I found out that we are expecting baby numero dos! {the first time I wrote that I wrote 'uno.' Oops. I don't know Spanish. :) } I found out a mere 4 hours ago, and I think I'm still in shock. In shock that it happened so quickly and in shock that God would bless us so much. As I write this, John doesn't even know we're expecting a baby. Weird. The only person I have told is Curran. :) When I was pregnant with Curran, John was in the bedroom waiting on me to take the test, so there was no surprise to be had. Well the positive result was a pretty big surprise, but I didn't get to tell him the news in a very interesting way. So this time, I want to be able to completely surprise him!


Last week, I bought some cheapo store-brand pregnancy tests at Target as I was getting party supplies for C's bday. I knew we would probably need some in the next few months and figured I would get some while I was there. But as the days I went by, I starting thinking that I might should take one. So I decided to wait until after C's birthday weekend to take a test as I didn't think I would be able to act naturally in front of my family and friends at the party if it was positive. I really didn't think the test would be positive, and all night Sunday I was having dreams about negative pregnancy tests. I just didn't want to get my hopes up. I planned to take the test after John left for work this morning. However, he was so slow moving and I really had to use the bathroom, so I snuck into the guest bathroom to take the test while he was in the shower. As I watched in surprise, it read positive very quickly! I couldn't believe it and said a short little prayer of thanks. But I think I was still in shock as I carried on if nothing had happened and told John goodbye for the day.


With my last pregnancy, my progesterone was very low so I had to take supplements the whole first trimester. So this time, my OB told me to call as soon as I had a positive home test so they could check my levels. So I called them as soon as they opened at 8am. No word back from them yet as I type this though, which is making me slightly anxious.
C had a dentist appt this morning at 9, and on the way home from that I asked her if she wanted Mama and Daddy to have a baby, and she said yeah. A few months ago, John asked her that same question, wanting her to say no {just trying to be ugly}, but she didn't say anything. So this morning I was surprised when she answered in the affirmative. Then I told her that Mama had a baby in her tummy and asked if she was excited. She said "Yeah! I have a baby in my tummy too!" :) All morning I kept asking her if she wanted a new baby and she said yes over and over.  We'll see how long that excitement lasts!


It's funny because last night John asked me if I was ready for another baby. We have said all along that once C turned two we would start trying, but over the last few months he has been acting just slightly hesitant about it. And I have to admit, the thought of actually sitting down and planning it out made me extremely nervous and also a little bit sad about leaving our family of 3 behind. But I also couldn't wait to be pregnant again {even though I didn't love it last time}. So when John asked me that, I took that as a sign that just maybe the test would be positive. It will be interesting to see how he reacts. The only thing I'm certain about is that he will be shocked.
