Pregnancy Day 2: Tuesday, August 2

So I kept trying to think of a cute way to tell John that I was pregnant. I really couldn't up with anything other than to make a little card, so my plan was to let Curran give it to him when he came home for lunch yesterday {Monday, August 1}. Well, we ended up going out for lunch, so by the end of the afternoon I was about to pop with the news and convinced him to come home a early {around 5:15}. When he got home, C and I were outside, so we all went inside and I ran into my room to grab the card. I gave it to Curran and told her to take it to her daddy, but of course she threw it on the ground and immediately starting trying to rip the pregnancy tests out of it. :)

 But he saw it and looked at me and said, "Seriously?" and just had a look of shock on his face for a long time. And I would have loved to see the expression on my face. For some reason I got so nervous, and I'm quite sure I had the deer-in-headlights look that I made fun of my sister for having when told us she was expecting. :) He of course asked me when I found out, etc, and finally got a little excited after about 10 minutes. I mean, he was excited, but just not bouncing off the walls excited. Not that that is his personality anyway. But of course as the evening went on and the reality sunk in, he got more and more excited and emotional about it.


John is already predicting that it is a boy. Last time he said girl the whole time and was obviously right, so we'll see. I don't like to make guesses about these things, especially not this early.

I ate lunch with Christopher today and it was so hard not to spill the beans! Actually I feel like I'm about to blurt it out to every stranger I come across! I don't know how long we'll wait to tell people. I would think about 8 weeks (I'm guessing I'm like 5 weeks now, but that is a very random guess as I don't exactly have a LMP to go off of}.

I'm sure these posts are going to be super boring for most of you, but I hope it will be fun for me to go back and read. I just keep getting really paranoid that I'm accidentally going to hit "post" instead of "save"!
